Thanksgiving USA

Thanksgiving USA

We give Thanks for our Food, Water, Shelter,

Our place on this Earth,

A Strange Day to Celebrate.

Pilgrims, Turkeys, and Gourds.

Early on I never questioned

The Holiday of Westward Expansion.

My family immigrating late 1800's,

The Pilgrims well established,

Their diseases had been dispersed.

The True Native Americans,

had separated into tribes.

Divided, and half conquered,

Then diseased, hungry, crowded.

We will enjoy turkey, stuffing, squash

Pumpking pie and mincemeat.

Potatoes and gravy,

Conversation

Then repeat.

Reminding us of a year that had up's and downs,

Like all other years,

Some smiles, some frowns,

Some aches, pains and joys,

Give Thanks,

We have food, shelter, water

and

Earth.

Give Thanks

and 

Remember,

Someone in need,

Someone who hurts.

Thanksgiving's Eve U.S.

Thanksgiving's Eve

Have you ever heard such a thing?

The day before Thursday,

In the U.S.A.

I heard it on the radio,

it worried me some

I'd never heard of the Eve,

seemed kinda dumb.

Must be a Gimmick, a Mistake, a Ruse,

All's I know, it was givin' me the blues,

Another whole day

To fret over, to clean,

To cook for, to shop for,

Disasters unseen.

No give us a break,

Keep it at one day,

Today I'll be napping,

What more can I say?

forecast: snowy...

Gaz Recap...What I can stand of it...#fracking

Been Awhile since I could even open another #fracking email...

Oh yes, that is how a war is. 

Canadian power Giant using local moniker VT Gas,

threatening to "Condemn" property for their stupid pipeline plan

(I know using stupid has no scientific or proper use, but it's how I feel, Thanksgiving week,

>$6k lighter thanks to higher than should be vt property taxes

yeah, thanks.

Oh, I will get out some sort of point here,

I am putting up links my comrades post or I find.

Richard Barone's "Sorrows & Promises"

Preview Richard Barone's latest........

A Morning

A Morning

Like No Other,
Golden, Red, Shining Brightly,
Father Sun Slyly
Slipping under the clouds,
For just a moment,
Waiting for me to fumble with the techno-gadgets,
And there,
Waiting for me,
A Morning
Like No Other.

Low Light

Spear St. in South Burlington
Overlook Park.

Once was a place
Where no one stayed long,
The wind always blew,
Pause and look,
Then you're gone.

When I moved here
Traffic lighter,
I would go in to work,
for an all nighter,
I would gaze briefly
at the lake and the View.

Then one house went up
and another it seems,
Some broke the rules,
But no matter,
They are seen,

Now when you look off to the west,
You have to see rooftops,
Gables, Gazebos
and the Rest.

They put a park up
for viewing,
Edit out all but the best.

Thursday Gaz Info Round up

Here it is,
Another week of fighting the big gaz corp
one word at a time.

Lately pipeline fatigue can be overwhelming,
by design,
I am Weary of the updates,
Hoping our merry band of fighters
can stop the pipeline.

Most of the articles I tweet and delete.
Here are a few gems for this week:

From the Digger
an ouch for incumbent governor:
(election results still pending)
http://vtdigger.org/2014/11/10/shumlin-feels-consequences-fracked-gas-pipeline-support/

From Virginia where they are experiencing pushy pipeliners...

http://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2014/11/down-with-the-atlantic-coast-pipeline

From my neighborhood
Where nice people are caught in a process
Where their money is burned
By Lawyers Asserting They own Nothing,
or Everything.

The judge won't care how much the poor landowners just had to cough up for taxes,
fuel, food and the necessary lawyer.

The Landowners, Vermonters,
Many with longevity here,
Have to fight
Canadian Fracking Gaz company
Calling themselves Vermont Gas
and professing fuel savings of gaz,
while telling ratepayers north of the border,
increases on the way.

Thank you Dr. Wible...

Veteran's Day (USA)

Veteran's Day

In the USA

Thinking about Dad today,

My brothers,

Uncles,

In laws,

and

my forefathers, foremothers,

all victims of war.

They tried to run, tried to hide, tried to make nice.

Humans go to War.

Can we evolve beyond that?

When you hear of war for good

or betterment of people,

be suspicious.

Someone is being bettered,

monetarily, or power wise.

If another is bettered, say freed,

Is it sometimes an unintended positive outcome?

When War is over,

Do the victim survivors still hear the bombs?

Smell the Fire?

Feel the Mind Numbing pain

of seeing your best friend

still

lifeless,

beside you?

Yet another Whole in body,

returning with a fractured mind.

I am Thanking the Veteran's, Men and Women alike,

and those who kept the home fires burning.

A New Frontier for Fracking: Drilling Near the Arctic Circle by Ed Struzik: Yale Environment 360




Starting over with gaz updates...
I actually had to delete a bunch of updates I got.
Brain Overload.
I tweeted the most significant articles like the statehouse protest.
I commented on a few.
So because I am a mere amateur scribe,
If there are omissions,
Blame my fatigue.

November has brought blustery cloudy gloomy weather.
Been saving this post as an update...
Cannot fight every battle,
Can shine a light
Can hope it makes the Earth brighter..

Reality Bites

last night, the local tv station did a piece about Peter Miller, famous photographer.
they referenced a letter to the editor Peter wrote which took me no time to find once I knew what to look for.
Click the link and take a gander at what all the fuss is about.
Reality Bites,
Like the cold winter winds.
