Thank you Blue! I'm going to watch the movie you embedded! It looks like a touching and inspiring movie!

Richard Pimentel is the perfect person to tell my story to.

Hello Fin, it's always nice to find you here. I was listening to Tool earlier today as well. Good choice.

Hello all in shed land.



Excuse my cocked head.

Well haven't conditions certainly changed here. Last night, True Love, asked can we shut down the house. (All windows, doors and anywhere else that smoke can come in. Sure, no problems.

Didn't get a good sound nights sleep with the wind roaring and the wind gusts hitting every 10 minutes or so. Trees are becoming devoid of leaves as I look to the hill behind our block. Must be pretty flash up there. Every now and then a 'Bang' when the gusts hit. House shakes. Looks out the window to the west, don't like that red glow.

Again 'True love' got called into work this morning. People leaving from the fire front have relocated in the village about 5.5 k's east of us and steadily travelling north to be safe. ''Lovely lady' has a job where they are setting up camp.

Me, well I got my gear (Sh1T) together. Seems my tummy has expanded these last years and trench coat and trousers are a bit tight. Helmet, woolly socks and boots still fit though.

As I type this the whole sky is overcast with smoke. The hills out back are disappearing in the haze. It is only midday. forecast to be sunny. Won't happen. The south wester is blowing and the smoke growing in intensity. Dammit! Rang my Neighbor Al to check on him. (Still using walking stick after the dog bite). All's good.

The smoke is like a pale blue fog. The wind doesn't clear it. On that point, just now it's gone quiet but to my west I can hear the wind sounding in the hilltop trees. My fire plan is that I get the family and animals out. Set the hoses up and run the fire pumps over the house at full throttle. I reckon I have enough water in my dam for about 45 minutes to an hour before the supply runs out or the pumps choke from lack of air. (A lot of math figuring that out to be sure)


About to go out, pick up Al and flash up (test) the pumps and 4 wheel drives. Wind is now picking up again.

In saying all this the dogs and cats are sleeping. Might be something in that.

My kindest regards as always,

bally

We love you Bally! I hope these fires don't last too much longer or I'll be even more worried about you.

Hiya Fin! Hope you slept well. Coffee is ready.

a reply to: LookingForABetterLife

Thank you Blue! I watched it and found it to be a great movie as well.

***Something magical.***

The smallest State in the US...Rhode Island. And you?

I heard there's still fairies in here and I'm very hungry. Who's first?

kidding. 😇



I had to look on a map. Oh, there you are. 😀

I guess Dorian spared your little island.

The only bit of info I know on R.I. is it was the first of the 13 Colonies to renounce its allegiance to the British Crown and has some of the highest taxes in the country; and Brown University.

a reply to: EndtheMadnessNow

Lol! I was going to scold you for trying to eat the faeries.

Love the pics! I thought I had that second one, but can't find it. I must have posted it on facebook at one time. I love fantasy art!

It's weird that Rhode Island isn't even an Island. Ha!

Local sales tax is 7% here.


What State are you in if you don't mind my asking.

The Northern Lights are very magical. Old Native beliefs in Canada involve the Northern Lights as a manfiestation of the Star People, who watch over humankind. People come from all over the world to northern Canada and Alaska to see these lights. Japanese people especially believe that conceiving a child under the lights is good luck and gives them spiritual wisdom.

a reply to: LoneCloudHopper2

How beautiful! I didn't know that.

I would be in awe if I saw the Northern Lights in person!

a reply to: Night Star

Yeah northern lights are magical. I live in southern Finland so they are rare here, but i have seen them here a few times. And in the north, Lapland, i have been there and they are awesome.

I didn't come here with anything particular to say, in my mind. I ate a pizza and now i have a few beers. Just wasting my time and see if someone is here at The Shed to have a conversation with.

Bally has been on my mind lately. The fire situation... just awful. I just wish it was all over and things would return back to normal with him, his true love and their animals.

It has been so good for me to be involved in an international forum!

You can't put real, living, breathing human beings in boxes, even though it might give you some order in this chaotic world. "Americans are like this." or "Americans are like that" There are about 330 million of them, each one are individuals. Sure, i have seen plenty of videos from youtube, and the like that "Proof that Americans are stupid" then there are like 20 people saying dumb stuff. Well of course, out of 330 million, how hard can it be to find 20 really stupid ones?

It would be easier to be just like, i am from Finland, therefore i am like this. And you are from America, therefore you are like that. But i think we can all benefit from a fruitful discussion with each other. Right here at the shed, and on a global, huge scale, too!

This is a cat.

Cats do not obey any rules.

Therefore the cat is just here, like it or not
