Barking at the moon and other natural wonders - eclipses, lightning and heavy surf after a storm come to mind - are a wonderful release. They seem like innate behaviors harkening back to our beginning as primordial beings just dry after crawling out of the swampy stew of life celebrating life and being alive.

For me, languaging is a lot like that; painting pictures with words.

Great article appeared in the Washington Post today about the effects of illegal immigration on California. Los Angeles beginning to look a lot like Mexico City. People buying $350,000. homes and renting them out to illegals who make the payments by sleeping in shifts packed 20-30 per home. Discarding garbage, rubbish and unwanted detritus on the streets and alleys, just like they do back home in Juarez or Guadalajara where there is no public sanitation or garbage pickup. Overwhelming healthcare and schools and free public services. Hollowing out the middle class which is fleeing in droves including blacks. What'll be left are the working class and the wealthy.

Who supports illegal immigration? There is a very heavy cost. And you and I are paying it.

I have no patience for incompetence or incompetents.
Don't waste my time with speculations you masquerade as facts.
If you suck me in via technology, make sure it works.
I guess it doesn't matter when you're making $10 or 20 bucks an hour.
But it sure as shit matters when your time is worth $100, $500, $1,000 or more.
Waste my time wisely or you won't get any.
