Reality, by itself, becomes a story by Phillip K Dick. -- Phillip K. Dick

 

 

Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.

Did benevolent Sirians help to repair the ozone layer for planet

"It's some kind of generating facility. It's nothing we built. It's thousands of years old...150 feet below ground, and they can't figure out what it is. It generates enough power for all of Alaska and 

probably for Canada as well."

Pow Wow Week

Headed down to the Riverside for the Gathering at the Falls, as did all! 

Got there in time for the Grand Entry and Color Guard.  Maple Leaf flying high

along with the Stars and Stripes. Canada, Grandmother's Land, was well represented. 

 

 

 First Ceremony: Women's Jingle Dance

 (Could only get close enough for photo/vids by standing behind dancers.)

                                               

           ...and Everybody Dance! Love seeing All In, Elders down to the wee ones.

Beautiful beaded horse regalia. I spoke with the woman whose mother did the beadwork.

Saddle up front bears the title of Omak Suicide Race Champion. Hope the horse made it okay.

(If interested, there are Youtube  videos of the race. Horses have died there)

Colville Confederated Tribes flag features a howling wolf center.

Cedar canoe. Sides sported nice wood inlay, hard to see in photo though.

Examples of amazing bead work for sale.

I did get a beauteous blue blanket...

A Moving Experience

 Enter the Otherworld

Horned Green Man refreshes Reflecting Pool  

Very steep trail lead to upper pool and falls. Worth it!

Maples line leafy winding narrow roads bordered by rock walls.

Chestnut trees in bloom loom large over Tudor buildings.

As always, big basalt erratics are glacier placed and going nowhere, until next time.

Buildings as odd as the landscape. Note wee folly to right.

Another odd castle like folly with turrets hidden amongst the forest.

 

Heading back home along the bluff the city lies below.

 Manito Park: Lilac Garden, Rose Garden, Duck Pond. It has it all.

Above: Red Eared Slider turtles. Often released into the 'wild' when kids become tired of pet.

Do not touch. Carriers of salmonella in droppings.

Ducks below! Ducks are among my favorite fowl. Do not feed ducks, it pollutes the lake.

Mallards abound here. Only a 3.5 mile walk round trip.

 Office buildings wisely decided to build around The Rock.

Where do gigantic boulders sit? Anywhere they want. We build around them.

 Neighborhood homes of 1%

A Tudor Row off Madison

Rocket Bakery! Patio seating, serving sandwiches as well as pastries. Close to home...

Close to Canada, many buildings and businesses fly the Maple Leaf

 And home again. 

Kitchen. It works.

Dressing room leading to bath.

The Enormous Tub.

 

Evening brings brilliant sunsets over Spokane from the Bluff. Love my gorgeous view from front room.

 

Vigilance Needed NOW Against the Hydra

"The Peacemaker taught us about the Seven Generations.

 He said, when you sit in council for the welfare of the people,

 you must not think of yourself or of your family,

 not even of your generation. He said, make your decisions 

on behalf of the seven generations coming,

 so that they may enjoy what you have today."

 𝓥𝓸𝓵𝓽𝓪𝓲𝓻𝓮 once wrote: "So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious or otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.

 

 Woody Guthrie -- I Ain't Got No Home/Old Man Trump by the Missin' Cousins

Old Man Trump
Words by Woody Guthrie Adapted by Ryan Harvey, Music by Ryan Harvey
Contact Publisher - Woody Guthrie Publications/BMG Chrysalis

I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project

Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place
To have your kids raised up in.
   
Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

Benito Mussolini created the word 'fascism.' He defined it as 'the merging of the state and the corporation.' He also said a more accurate word would be 'corporatism.' This was the definition in Webster's up until 1987 when a corporation bought Webster's and changed it to exclude any mention of corporations.- Adam McKay  ...'fraudulent schemes and artifices...'

The GOP is undermining democracy all over the country. The will of the people is being subverted for a loud and active minority. In his new book, guest Ari Berman explains how and where this is happening in America. And, more importantly, what we can do to fight back. ...usually my moniker. But, in times of duress - Capitaine de corvette Thierry d'Argenlieu^[46] suggested the adoption of the Cross of Lorraine  as a symbol of the Free French. This was chosen to recall the perseverance of Joan of Arc, patron saint of France, whose symbol it had been, the province where she was born, and now partially annexed into Alsace-Lorraine by Nazi Germany, and as a response to the symbol of national-socialism, the Nazi swastika
