Another fun year at Brushwood's Sirius Rising. I wish I could have gotten pictures of the dragon ritual and the exceptional firework laden main fire but I left my phone as it was wet out from all the rain.

Lake Erie is totally disgusting right now. It seems like it keeps getting worse. We tried to escape to the lake to get away from the concert but it smelled so badit made me want to throw up.

They have to do something about the sewage issue in the south towns now. The smell of sewage in the water is overwhelming after the rain. Plus you can see it.

After seeing the ocean last week it makes me want to skip town forever.

I literally don't understand how anyone could want to live on Lake front property.

We went to Electronic Odyssey at Willow Creek Winery this weekend

It was so boring. The music was mostly uninspiring remixes of the Harlem Shake interspersed with Jam bands. There were a couple short exceptions including an interesting performance of a guy playing drums to techno music but nothing to keep the truly keep the lebensmüdigkeit at bay.

The parts of the songs that used to break into inspiring high energy crescendos now stop and wobble into super slow breakdowns. People dance to these parts as though they were dropped into a vat of jello after having their spinal chord stepped on by a larger animal. The tempo is probably to make it easy to dance to for all the people mixing transquillers and beer.

Maybe its just what you get when you mix reservation cigarette smoking+wt+farmer+pot head+bro+discusting lake water+grocery stores lacking vegtables+dead head+long term, maybe even fetal, ketamine exposure.

On a positive note, the food was really good. I had a half a BBQ rubbed chicken and an excellent blackened shrimp taco.

How can the LA Times use the word "casualty" when describing the cancelation Neil Young's concert due to security risks associated with Palestinian rocket fire?

The back story of Palestine is very complex. I can totally understand why the Palestinians would be angry. I can also understand how some Jews might still be bent out of shape from thousands of years of oppression and extermination.

I defknately think we should stop selling them weapons

What do we get out of protecting Israel other than the scorn of the Arab world.

I wonder what would happen if we switched sides.

I wonder how different it would have been if it was Grand Island

Will we ever see this problem end in our lifetime? It seems like there must be some sort of final solution that everyone could agree on.

After the farmers market I let Basra share in the treats. He seems to really like currants.
