I heard cars go past this morning , that's a good sign . I'll be off soon to survey the route . We should have a new type of beach at the river , its constantly changed over the years due to floods . Many years back a flood deposited a H U G E long tree trunk with rootball attached into the wide pooled section of the river on a bend between rapids that we use as our swimming spot . The front curved up like a prow and the back of the rootball was like a big throne with a seat in it .... the perfect 'slave ship' . One would sit in the throne and the others stand on the trunk and pole them along with bamboo . First the kids , then the adults would ambush them, tip them off and take over the boat and take off around the corner . Then come back and the kids would be hiding along the bank, up in trees and then they would ambush us and steal the boat . many a months fun was had with that . Eventually another flood washed it away . Also , along the banks one can scout for native orchids, elkhorns and staghorns dislodged from trees and decorate your garden with them . Staghorn ; Elkhorn and get some river sand ( for fish tank ) and river pebbles and stones to redo my garden paths (usually banked up on the road near bridges ) .

We used to do it as kids for a trick ; stand in a doorway arms by sides then lift arms outward and up keeping them straight until the back of the hands touch the door frame either side , push against it with back of hands keeping arms straight . Keep up the pressure for about 30 seconds . Now move out of the doorway, stand there with arms by side and relax ..... up they go .

I suppose the maniacs will be out soon ..... ' Dangar Falls ' Should be called 'Danger Falls ' Why maniacs ? Well, believe it or not ....

Still flooded in . The place is a sog fest . But the garden likes it, the exotics have shot up and all the tree ferns and varieties of ginger I have around the cabin are enjoying it . Tonight's exotic meal will be courtesy of Syria ; 'Fateh Makdous ' . Fried ground lamb with onions pin nuts and cumin mixed with pieces of flat bread and drizzled with a yogurt tahini garlic sauce, toasted under the grill then sprinkled with chopped parsley and barberry . After that , its open up the cans of baked beans . ... after inspecting the cupboard I found a packet with coco in it another with a bit of coconut and some glace cherries , hmmm - chocolate and cherry slice . I am predicting that tomorrow the bridge can be crossed .... and then ; onward through the devastation . After I get over ' our ' bridge ( assuming it isn't damaged - one time it washed away ) there is another two , then I get to the end of the road, where it meets a main road - 'Waterfall Way ' ( by its name, you can see why it closes in heavy rain ) then see how far I can get .

Rain finally eased off . You should see the river and bridge crossing just down valley from my place (and the only road out ) ... ferocious ! Been flooded in since Thursday . Probably another three days to go ? A patrol chopper circled overhead yesterday , I gave them a thumbs up ..... then I went and got a massage off my neighbor and we had tamarind chicken for dinner So its been all good . But, after past experience, river dropping below the bridge might be just the first obstacle on the way out .

Mhe .... armatures ! Check this out from 3:00 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WXVaChA3Q0

DUDE ! That was an advert for a circus performer !

$3- 5000 for a Photoshop course ?!

Told yas .

That's a great post for those that cant understand WHY someone might choose to trans . So, although of course I will greatly miss your presence , I will have this to refer to people that don't understand . So with this and other posts you have left a legacy . It's a shame what has happened to DBs ..... I knew 'dark things' would manifest with this split off current events thing . I was happy when Sean laid out the rules and not happy at the insidious undermining of that and those that turned a blind eye towards it . So this is where we are at . 'Party is over ' ... everyone can go home now .... those delaying their departure may be incarcerated .

A cyclone is knocking on my front door . Had near a half meter of rain in two days . Creeping slowly towards the coast more each day .

Thanks for the 'tip off' . Next time I I sunbake, I shall take your observation into account

Yes, you tend to find 'Chrisitan meanings ' in Mathew . The Bible isn't modern Greek . Old Bob cited it in Christian context , but Lairg ... well, did what Lairg does .... I thought to clarify for Old Bob 's c o n t e x t . My other point is , in English we have one word love ( hence , Lairg's floundering with the term and unable to define it by itself - classical Greek has many terms (including some in the Bible ) that English translates into 'love' - English does not specify the type of love within the word itself ..... could be agape , could be philia or even philautia. However in this context it is not 'heart love' or liver love' or other made up terms , it is clearly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agape

' Heart love ' ??? English ! Mhe .... " agape toous echthrous humon " there you go . Now go look up 'agape' .

That was one of our essentials ; any cost for a person's ceremony should be met by them ( eg a physical object ) but it was forbidden to charge for the teaching, the ceremony, the time of officers, etc . And regarding secrecy ... what happened ? Over time some broke their oaths or just 'let it out ' and what did they do ? They immediately started mail order adverts for secret knowledge and wanted money for it ! AMORC was one of the first , then of course that happened to them in an ongoing fractioning , dilution and 'cost rise' .... eg ' Lectorum Rosicrusicarnam' ... Scientology ( from a different diversion ) and others. and what are the 'initiates ' left with ...... 'Shit ! I paid all that money for a drink a glass of water left in the sunshine ritual . ' Or worse ; ' Shit ! Now I have told my auditor all my 'secrets' .... including my banking details ..... how did that happen ?"

I'm sorry but you really need to understand the scam that happened with the Gracies .... there is a lot of info on line about this . And, in my observation those that 'do better' have 'done it before' . One needs a head start , to come here 'pre-loaded ' , or with good karma impetus, if you like - without that , well, you are pushing it up hill ... but that is okay , its accumulative (unless you really blow it ! ) ) Do you think the first is a stable necessary for the second to be able to operate properly ? I mean Dali's paintings are genius (if you see them 'in person' ) but anyone can tape a banana to the wall.

The majority ? ! Well, in 'real life' it applies ! I am surrounded by these types ... with about 4 rare gems of people within my whole range of 'personally known people' . The rest try to appear via 'glamour' as something different (and that works with the unaware ) but their actions give them away . The thing is , they come up against it .... and they think THAT is the hard work they are doing .

I am surrounded .... virtually totally , by people that never realized that opportunity was there in the first place . And further .... most, actually .... of those that engaged in it , failed and dropped out early . Too hard ( it wasn't really ) . That's why , at the beginning the potential initiate is told that ; 'Many fail , even with the help they receive .' That is because , essentially, its up to the individual . I guess, like Bart ... they just assumed they could do it ... that's the fun part ... the work study and practice part ? Boooor-ing !
