It's a Ram a Lang a Ding Dong Trail to the #Blotto

Disclaimer: this is straight-up writing of active lung cancer in me but nothing in the #Blotto set of articles has been written with thoughts of trying to shock or disturb.  I am using in-home hospice and that's the best circumstance I could hope relative to being in a hospice clinic or, worst of all, to be admitted into a hospital.


There's nothing in particular to report about the #Blotto today.  There's the strangeness such as it is but the primary vibe is finding a jam beyond that and there definitely is one.  Mostly the #Blotto means I'm absolutely fuckin' wasted but that's in some dimension Cheech & Chong never saw.  Part of the trip now is recognizing it will be that way and pushing forward regardless.  The dose has not increased but more effect comes anyway for some reason.  That's the observation and the conclusion is the same to push forward which I most happily do when you're blasting Ithaka up like a NASA rocket launch.  Only about five hundred reads to pop her over the top now.  Wowzer.


The big jam is another Pilgrimmage this time by Cadillac Man.  We checked-in moments ago to ensure all the buttons are pushed for doing this.  There will be another checkpoint after he's past Love Field and checked into his roost for some days down here.  It's surprisingly close and Yevette will know it immediately.  The Pilgrimage is definitely jammin' and it's not a speculative thing since it's become a Now thing and it would be a riot to figure out a way for Zen Yogi to be represented down here after he's played so much into everything lately.

Kramer has a nutso act he performs while he talks of market performance and pushes the buttons on a sound effects device every so often to give up various soundbites.  He's crazy frenetic but I'm told his market perspectives are good.  So a controller like that one although just a wee bit more subtle would be excellent for providing Yogi's voice.  I don't think there's actually a way to pull it off with the kit now but it would be a hoot.


For something different altogether, I watched "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" from 1964 and saw it a few nights ago.  It takes a while for me to go piece by piece through a movie and the movie is not generally fast-paced anyway but it was a pleasure to watch it all despite the gloriously bad special effects.  This was an A-level movie at the time and the badness of it is much of the charm of it now.  They tried to use as much of the science at the time as they could but there was almost nothing for spaceflight in 1964 since was the time of the NASA Mercury misssions, way back.

Zen Yogi:  all part of swingin' with the vibe of it?

It is, Yogi, and that turned out to be a great swing with Robinson Crusoe.


Much love to you all and onward to the Pilgrimage this weekend.
