30% chance of rain

30% chance of rain, a photo by JazzCannibal on Flickr.

Cold rain caught up to us in the inlet while we were out for a paddle. One of my guilty pleasures is getting caught in the rain; it's exciting,refreshing, humbling, electrifying, and always leaves me feeling more alive (unless that electricity gets a little too close). Snapped this after it blew over us out into the ocean.

That could be the problem...

Sometimes I wonder if they really drink Gold Coast Blend on "morning joe", it being a pretty intensely roasted blend. I don't think I'd drink it everyday, especially in the morning, even though I do like it. It goes well with chocolate, so I consider it more suited to dessert. As for the logo change, though it may not have made a whole lot of sense, I prefer the old logo. I always imagined that the sophisticated and mysterious lady, curbing that massive dog, had strong dark intense tastes and desires. Correction: the old logo made sense, it told a story.

Never Again Would Birds' Song Be the Same

Never Again Would Birds' Song Be the Same, a photo by JazzCannibal on Flickr.

by Robert Frost, 1942.

He would declare and could himself believe
That the birds there in all the garden round
From having heard the daylong voice of Eve
Had added to their own an oversound,
Her tone of meaning but without the words.
Admittedly an eloquence so soft
Could only have had an influence on birds
When call or laughter carried it aloft.
Be that as may be, she was in their song.
Moreover her voice upon their voices crossed
Had now persisted in the woods so long
That probably it never would be lost.
Never again would birds' song be the same.
And to do that to birds was why she came.

Fountain of youth, a photo by JazzCannibal on Flickr.

Now thou hast loved me one whole day,
Tomorrow when thou leav'st, what wilt thou say?
Wilt thou then antedate some new-made vow?
Or say that now
We are not just those persons which we were?
Or, that oaths made in reverential fear
Of Love, and his wrath, any may forswear?
Or, as true deaths, true marriages untie,
So lovers' contracts, images of those,
Bind but till sleep, death's image, them unloose?
Or, your own end to justify,
For having purposed change, and falsehood, you
Can have no way but falsehood to be true?
Vain lunatic, against these 'scapes I could
Dispute, and conquer, if I would,
Which I abstain to do,
For by tomorrow, I may think so too.

"It smells like adventure." - Cee Lo Green
He performed some Gnarls Barkley and DangerDoom. Fellow members of Goodie Mob even joined him on stage for a few songs. His backing band is apparently composed entirely of amazonian rock goddesses. The amphitheater was packed and overflowing the berm into the street, but we had tickets for a front row standing room only section. We were close enough to shake hands and get showered in a bit of his sweat at the end of the show. Somebody even tickled his toes when he got too close after taking off his fancy shoes. On the way back to the car we passed the larger stage where Jason Mraz was still putting what remained of his audience to sleep; what a waste of space.

Skateboarding is NOT a crime.
Originally uploaded by JazzCannibal.

I don't skate, but signs like this still bother me, mostly because of the signs ignorant bully attitude. Yeah, I'll agree it's a bad idea to park your motorcycle or ride a bike right here, but you're not going to convince me that skateboarding kids are better off in the street and parking lot than the sidewalk.

The trouble is that this sign seems to claim that Fla. Stat. Sec. 316.1945 supports it's claim that it is wrong to skateboard or ride a bike on the sidewalk. In fact the statute cited deals with the prohibition of stopping, standing, or parking in specified places. The law cited may in fact bar you from parking your motorcycle on the sidewalk, but it doesn't so much as mention bicycles or skateboards. Moreover, it clearly does not deal with the riding of skateboards, bicycles, or any actual vehicle since violation of this statute is a "noncrimonal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation".

If that wasn't enough, they've got these signs posted on both sides of the entrance doors, and right underneath one of them, they've placed a bike rack, even though this sign claims parking a bike here is against the law. It's your responsibility to know your rights and responsibilities as a citizen, better than the authority figure that might try to bully you.

Victoria, Chewbacca, & I took a walk tonight along dog beach. Other parts of the beach had dogs of all kind, size, and age in every direction sharing the beach with families, surfers, and even a few boats off shore fishing. There were even two large shipping vessels on the horizon. Sometimes the beach and the nearby ocean seems like a dead lonely place, but this afternoon it felt alive. And on that subject, I missed getting a photo of an interesting looking dog guarding a dead fish he'd found because he looked anxious for us to move along.

Victoria, this was my favorite photo tonight and I'm not sorry if you're embarrassed. I love you.

I found many of these, as well as numerous Pine Lilies and other flora and fauna, while hiking/geocaching the Pine-Glades Natural Area.

While geocaching out in the Pine-Glades Natural Area I found this Pine Lily near a cache of the same name.

P.S. - I also caught two grasshoppers in an intimate moment.

I have an admission; I'm a junk food junky, just like the song. Would you believe I had an all fruit smoothie with oatmeal and flax for breakfast?

Photo a Day (PaD) project's have interested me in the past, especially this one ( www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/15131 ). I don't expect mine to win awards, but hopefully this one isn't the last.

*I told myself this piece would always evolve; this is a kind of flux, and for me an interesting rebirth of this piece. Don't be too put off by the title; it's not generally obscene, but maybe PG-13. If your phone is smart enough, it can read this straight from the screen or a print out. If your phone isn't smart enough, you must be in order to figure it out. I'm confident that anyone ready to "get" this poem will not have too much trouble finding a solution.
