Taking advantage of the winter
Hello:
This week I took these photos in the Historical Center of Lima. This is about the conqueror of the Inca Empire, arriving at the Rima River Valley (Lima): http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmyv/4927698607/ I also always found it interesting, those recreational activities that have these pigeons in front of the Monastery of San Francisco: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmyv/4927706421/ And this is a view of the Monastery of San Francisco from the Park of the Wall: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmyv/4927715841/ Thanks for your comments. -- MMYV http://www.mmyv.com |

Taking advantage of the winter

wrote: Hello: Sorry. No snow = No winter. Just because the sun might be hovering nearer the Tropic of Capricorn does not a "winter" make, no matter what anyone says. Just how would the phrase "now is the winter of our discontent" be read if winter meant just 3 degrees different than the rest of your "discontent". That's not a "winter" of discontent, that's not even being mildly bemused, not even a detectable smile nor raising of one eyebrow. You need bitter ice and snow for that change in discontent to matter. When coming out of the Everglades in FL one Dec. to get supplies to continue living in the 'glades for another few months; dressed in shorts and t-shirt, barefoot most of the time; there was a preponderance of "holiday" decorations everywhere. "Okay," I said, "they can have the deer, I've seen some deer in the 'glades; they can have the Santa sweating to death in his furry togs, considering those silly Floridians bundle up in snowmobile suits whenever the temps drop to a 'bitter' 65º F. (**** that was funny to see that, I walk to my mailbox football-fields-away while barefoot in 2-3 ft. of snow most winters); they can have the fake evergreens, there are some conifers in that state after all; they can even have those colored lights outlining the palms ... but those inflatable snowmen have GOT TO GO!" I was loading up my wrist-rocket slingshot (that I modified for bow-fishing, worked great for that, will drive an arrow 1.5" deep into a palm) but my photo-trekking buddy talked me out of plinking holes in all the inflatable snowmen I saw everywhere. I still think it was a good idea to deflate them all. Just for the sake of removing one more little iota of total absurdity from humanity, if nothing else. There will be that "final straw" of absurdity that will collapse civilization one day. I believe those inflatable snowmen in Florida will play a part in that straw. By not putting holes in all of them I've only hastened humanity's demise. Perhaps this will be a good thing. Humanity's absurdity has already gone far beyond avalanche-ripe conditions. Why try to dissuade or evade the now overwhelmingly inevitable. Oh, was I supposed to go look at some snapshots or something? Nah, played that game before. It was always a total waste of time with this poster. I'm allergic to the always-absurd. |

Such a shame. Now this is funny. I just remembered a photo I had. You pathetic and useless basement-living ****s always want to doubt what I say about my photo-trekking adventures and all I've done. Suck on this photo that was taken while I was testing for arrow-point penetration in cabbage-palms (in "winter", to stay on-topic) ... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4078/4934802682_5079fdcb0a_z.jpg Arrow-rest with fletching-groove from a sturdy coat-hanger. Clips on and off for easy conversion to standard (collapsible) wrist-rocket. Retrieval-line spool made from a tobacco canister (large outside line-holder), spreadable-margarine tin (blue conical line-feed spool for even line play-out), and several metal end-caps from frozen-juice containers as large washers to hold the them properly spaced (not seen, inside spool-assembly). It started out as an easy way to get a line over high-limbs to bring down precariously leaning trees by myself, near buildings on my lands with come-alongs and steel cables. (No arrow then, just a fishing-sinker on the end of the line.) A little arrow-rest added to the wrist-rocket's functions. This "Archery-Rocket" bow-fishing idea of mine inspired from the Hawaiian Slings I used to use for spear-fishing on coral reefs where I lived off the land (and ocean) on a South Pacific island for a few years. Photo taken by a bear-hunter guide buddy who was impressed with how well my little invention worked for bow-fishing. He had to have a photo. Enjoy your mommies' basements you useless troll ****s. Believe it or not, but SOME people actually live exciting, fun, and amazingly interesting lives. LOL! |

Ah, but what happens if they ARE smarter than any doctor? Some of the most stupid and ignorant people I have ever met in life are those with a purchased Dr. or PhD. next to their names. Awarded by how clearly they can parrot their equally ignorant "book knowledge ONLY" peers. That snapshot of your Rube Goldberg "invention" looks like you are standing on the median strip of the New Jersey Turnpike somewhere south of Newark. Right. There's tons of saw-grass and cabbage-palms there. The photo taken at a hunter's-camp deep in the Everglades. It was our base-camp for 3 months that "winter". LOL! And about that "invention" -- just goes to ptrove that you have neither the brains nor the money to afford a proper compound bow. I've got a wonderful Bear® compound bow. Adjustable from 60-90 lbs. pull. It was along with us. The novelty of the "Arrow-Rocket" was just that. Compact, lightweight, effective for the required task, and could stow-away in any kayak float-bag for needed protein food-supplies ... in the environment for its intended use. Not unlike how compact and superzoom cameras also outweigh all the inherent deficiencies in DSLR designs 99% of the time. LOL! It must be horrible being you, knowing that of the entire population of the earth _you_ are the only one with enough intelligence to have a conversation with yourself. It's absolutely DREADFUL! Far as I'm concerned, you could all drop off the face of the earth this instant and it would only be a vast improvement to the life on this planet. Imagine if you will, you having the IQ of Einstein, while everyone else on earth were reduced to the thought-processes of the lowest-functioning Downs' Syndrome sufferer. If you can imagine that, you can now embrace just how dreadful it truly is. For that matter I'm sure that when you go out and play in the playground all the other little kids avoid you, so you are forced to play with yourself. Interesting, that your mind would so quickly and easy drift to "playing with one's self". Interesting only in that it's par for the course with cretinous basement-living TROLLS like you. LOL! |

Now note the lack of depressions in the forearms from the wrist-rocket. That's pure muscle. Popeye, eat your heart out. I regularly haul 12ft. x 12"-16" dia. logs on my shoulders for up to 1/4th mile for winter heating (the E/W length of the land surrounding my more favorite home). 17 cords of wood per winter is not uncommon there. Isn't it time for you to go back and lick some more mold in the corner of your mommy's basement? LOL! |
