24-jun-19 The Fall Down the Stairs

Weaverville, CA
24-Jun-19

Took a fall yesterday, I'm ok, excellent care at Trinity Hospital Emergency Care Room. Left eyebrow skin is glued back together and the left wrist is bruised, no breaks, Ace bandage and some ice and Humpty Dumpty here should be all back together in a few days.

Could have been worse, heard a story, condolences, that was harsh and sudden.

Right now everything is pretty much one handed - another challenge. Will not drive today.

A pair of small black tail deer (fawns?) crossed the road right in front of us on the way home.

Besides myself for not watching where I'm going, I place responsibility on the sandals which are loose fitting and now in the garbage, replaced by the rubber-soled slippers.  (see picture above). (25.jul.19 - correction. I salvaged the sandals, cut them up and am now using part of a sole as a doorstop to keep the bathroom door from swinging open when driving.)

The sandals were never a good fit and may have been ok for walking the boardwalk in San Diego but not for the kind of RV lifestyle I have now. There really is no room for anything that doesn't work well and fit well in RV'ng. Some lessons are more painful than others.

28apr19 - I have been wanting to write songs but so far everything is more in a poetic mode. Just starting to think of how to switch from mode to mode. The difference of meter and melody perhaps. This one transcribed towel to .rtf to here with these interesting forward dashes. Per Duchamp they remain.

8,sep,19 - Little Bighorn - Deep Ravine Trail - Retreat and Yellowstone River

Image
I counted 49 soldier markers along the escape trail (Route) from Last Stand Hill and the sign at the Ravine indicated 28 soldiers died there which ended the fighting. I guess the trail 600 yards, high grass and very hilly There were about 40 or so soldier markers on the hill itself. The battle was strung out in several locations over several square miles, an hour in duration. The Rangers give good discussions, all say there is much that remains a mystery and many inaccuracies to the stories. This Ranger ended with "The Indians won the battle but lost the war."

12-jun-19 Playing Guitar in a Redwoods Grove

Image
12june19 Redcrest CA Ancient Redwoods RV Park Before Musemath and Fretmath and the internet in general much of my guitar practice was on park tables like this. This setting in a Giant Redwood Grove was particularly rewarding. _________________ Wasp Invasion - two wasps found a window screen in the bathroom ajar from the motion of the vehicle and stopped in for a visit. It went well enough, when they found the interior space too large for their purposes they headed for the side door screen, so I opened the door and out they went. All in a day's work for an RV'r. The window screen has been taped shut. Later on a giant earwig, probably from the Redwood Grove came crawling rudely over the stove and is no longer with us. Wasp and bug spray tomorrow I suppose. _________________
