saturday morning blues




junkers 86



set of for a few dollars more!

george beurlings spitfire


no rain, no rain,no rain.
where's Neil when ya need him.
it hasn't  stopped for three days.
gotta slow rolling low.
not much to do but look through old picture books and imagine what it was like in those days.
and why they can only make piss weak movies with no dramatic tension.
just big comic book after big comic book.
when it comes down to it  the 'hulk versus galactica' comic was tons better than any movie I've seen lately.
found a nice book ON the first decade of the R.N.Z.A.F.
lots of good piccies not available anywhere else?
plus another neato pictorial history of the south african air force.
good piccie of 11 Cessna 185's in loose formation.
from 11 Squadron.
doh.
very hard to find good pictures of Cessna 185's.
somehow all the available pics seem to be dogs with bad angles and poses?
one of lifes strange oddities.
Still working away on the TAB of Ragtime Annie from Happy Traums Flatpicking Country Guitar.
really nifty old fiddle tune.
MY memory aint what it used to be but I can sight read tab.
wow.
nothing in the rag except the usual low grade assaults and thumbnails of the recipients of new years honours.
plus idiots who think they can raise a mob and lynch the accused in Taupo.
some of these people have been watching too many movies or have not come to grips with dealing with reality and still suffer from unbridled juvenile omnipotence. i.e. self will run riot.
Have been trying to read Gregory Batesons ecology of mind but in some ways it is nearly unreadable.
dense and not clear. in places he is right on but then he wonders of in a sea of redundant verbiage that only serves to obscure rather than illuminate.
No wonder R.D. Laing took to him. LIke the followers of other obscurantists they think that if they cant parse it properly then no one else can either!!!!!
