Adams, Eden and Riddle on the Fall Equinox Day of 2019

 

Fall equinox, cats and bees

 

Eden Haiku: hello Riddle :)

Riddle Sideways: Hello Eden ㋡

Eden Haiku: Rainy morning on this equinox day....

Eden Haiku: Days and nights are going to be as long...

Riddle Sideways: was a bystander to an Equinox discussion over the weekend

Eden Haiku: Good morning Adams :)

Riddle Sideways: one, looking at phone was saying it is Always the 21st

Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle and Eden :)

Riddle Sideways: Morning, Adams

Riddle Sideways:another, was saying it is lunar and moves to different days

Eden Haiku: Always between the 21st and the 23rd I think...

Riddle Sideways: 2 different phones, so they could not come to mutual answer

Eden Haiku: Daylight will dwindle down until December 20 or 21

Eden Haiku: Ah yes, different phones, different realities :)

Eden Haiku: Parallel worlds

Riddle Sideways: it already is dark trying to get to office desk this morning

Eden Haiku: Darkness at 7 o'clock...

Riddle Sideways: just getting light now

Riddle Sideways: 7:07

Adams Rubble: PaB comes early on the west coast

Eden Haiku: yep! PaB for early birds :)

Riddle Sideways: might get interrupted by the must go out cat announcing the cat door is not open yet

Riddle Sideways: it was too dark to open that flap

Eden Haiku: smiles at royal cat :)

Adams Rubble: our cats are purely indoor. they have to do all their puking on the rug

Eden Haiku: My late cat was an outdoor gal. She would run through fields, venture intro the wood. A very brave cat!

Riddle Sideways: yes. still have to clean the puke up

Eden Haiku: They eat grass I guess...

Riddle Sideways: and mice and birds

Adams Rubble: we used to have an outdoor cat who adopted us and was a skilled squirrel hunter.He used to eat their brains and then deliver the rest of the carcass to our back steps

Eden Haiku: Mice and birds, wow!

Adams Rubble: he killed 12 squirrels in one year

Riddle Sideways: wow

Eden Haiku: And squirrels...yikes!

Adams Rubble: we never had a squirrel problem in those days

Riddle Sideways: and you keeping count

Riddle Sideways: of the gifts

Adams Rubble: now you look out the back and there are a dozen squirrels running around out there

Adams Rubble: we have a yellow jackets nest on our porch and the mailman now refuses to come up to the porch

Eden Haiku: The only living thing she brought was a baby blue jay (alive). I talked to her so sternly, she never did bring another bird...But...

Adams Rubble: wraps the mail with a rubber band and tosses it on the porch from a safe distance

Adams Rubble: we trimmed the bushes to make it hard for the cat to ambush birds but he still got some

 

—BELL--

 

Eden Haiku: Bees on the porch, ouch!

 

Country music

 

Adams Rubble: I have been watching theKen Burn's series on Country Music

Riddle Sideways: one way to keep the mail away

Riddle Sideways: Yes! great Ken Burns series

Eden Haiku: smiles at Riddle :)

Adams Rubble: talk about parallel universes

Riddle Sideways: went back to watch #1 last night

Riddle Sideways: Parallel chat worlds

Adams Rubble: there is so little difference between musicians

Eden Haiku: Listening on YouTube :)

Eden Haiku: Feeling like wearing red cow girl boots :)

Adams Rubble: :)

Adams Rubble: it is interesting how music became politicized in this country

Eden Haiku: PBS link: https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/country-music/

Adams Rubble: and yet so much shared

Riddle Sideways: game here, is fill the bird feeder on the upper deck outside bedroom. little birds dump out all but the little tasty bits they like. Squirrels come up the house to find the dropped good bits for them. Cat waits until they get right next to screen door. and rush the screen, bang it and squirrel runs away

Riddle Sideways: great fun, game

Adams Rubble: :)

Eden Haiku: Funny game indeed :)

Eden Haiku: Parallel worlds of squirrels, cats and country music :)

Riddle Sideways: yes and no, on sameness/difference. that first episode had the differences of the Carter family vs Jimmy Rogers

Adams Rubble: I was thinking of the differences between the rock and roll culture and the country culture--so much sharing and cross over

Riddle Sideways: and the sameness of the numbers of different people that would buy records of the same music

Adams Rubble: the audiences are another story

 

Village idiots

 

Eden Haiku: Watched a talk show here, in French, with two of Canada would-be prime ministers...

Adams Rubble: country the music of the white supremacists

Eden Haiku: Is it?

Adams Rubble: ohhh, Canada!

Riddle Sideways: Gospel music too

Adams Rubble: Trudeau

Eden Haiku: A Sikh in a turban who speaks an excellent French and a French-Canadian who used to be the manager of a local rock star.

Eden Haiku: To my astonishment, I liked the Sikh much better...

Adams Rubble: NJ has a Sikh attorney general

Eden Haiku: No Trudeau was not there yet. He will lose this election I think.

Adams Rubble: how could he paint his face

Eden Haiku:I know, he's such an idiot...

Adams Rubble: we did not know he was an idiot in the US; we have our own idiot problem

Adams Rubble: well, maybe more of a thug problem

Riddle Sideways: wha? others have village idiots too?

Eden Haiku: I would prefer a real Punjabi to a fake one, did you see how Trudeau dressed himself and his family in India?

Eden Haiku: Yes, we all have our idiots....

Adams Rubble: I sometimes wonder how that differs from what we do in SL with our different avatars though

Adams Rubble: try out different personas

Eden Haiku: Thought Obama would end this chain of idiots all over the world...

Eden Haiku: True Adams, but we are not world leaders :)

 

—BELL--

 

Adams Rubble thinks about Obama and sighs

Riddle Sideways: if you were to run for SL president, the press would find pics of your first avi

Adams Rubble: hmmm. I am my first avi

Adams Rubble: it is some of my other avatars I would have to worry about :)

Riddle Sideways: Adams was birthed looking good

Eden Haiku: Sighs also...

Adams Rubble: ohh no. people used to come up to me and tell me I needed to look better

Adams Rubble: male and female avatars

Adams Rubble:criticized every aspect

Adams Rubble: hair, skin, clothes...

Riddle Sideways: village idiots do that

Eden Haiku: Me too :) I was going to dance in a club with my generic polka dots pink dress, and others were telling me to find other clothes :)

Adams Rubble nods

Riddle Sideways: criticized for not wearing the emperor’s newest clothes

Eden Haiku: Yes!

Adams Rubble: well, I can't complain; it was a good lesson for me

Eden Haiku: Was it?

Riddle Sideways: ㋡

Eden Haiku: How so?

Adams Rubble: I never could have imagined how much abuse members of one gender are subject to

Eden Haiku: Ah, I see...

Adams Rubble: brb

 

Moving back to town

 

Eden Haiku: We will be moving back to Montreal next Monday: so I will be missing next session...

Eden Haiku: This is the week of packing, again :)

Riddle Sideways: was going to ask when that was

Eden Haiku: Summer went by so fast....

Riddle Sideways: hmmmm

Eden Haiku: Sunny summer, I enjoyed it a lot.

Riddle Sideways: think you moved there late this year

Eden Haiku: Now back to dentist, hairdresser, manicure, film premieres, discussion group, dance workshop and so on…

 

—BELL--

 

Adams Rubble: back, reading

Riddle Sideways: oh no more slow walks to the village shop

Eden Haiku: Yes, we moved here on July 10th, after the funeral of my mother in law...

Adams Rubble: summer did go by very quickly

Adams Rubble: wow, in July

Adams Rubble: seems like last week

Eden Haiku: it does...

Riddle Sideways: so you can stay later

Eden Haiku: Last Saturday, as we were having a meal in the village after the Farmers Market, a couple came in with an old lady with a cane and my companion started crying...She reminded him of his mother…

 

A new ID card

 

Riddle Sideways: need to go to DMV (shutter) for a new-fangled universal funny ID card.

Riddle Sideways: so, many needs of proof who I is

Riddle Sideways: oh dear

Eden Haiku: No, we usually leave only at the end of September :)

Adams Rubble: it can take time to get over things

Eden Haiku: What kind of ID is it Riddle?

Adams Rubble: I have not begun to think about going for mine

Riddle Sideways:something called 'Real ID'

Adams Rubble: we need new IDs to fly in airplanes now

Riddle Sideways: passport is not enough

Adams Rubble: otherwise we will need a passport to fly within out country's borders

Eden Haiku: Ah! ID card. We don't have this here. Only passports and medical care insurance card.

Riddle Sideways: driver's license is not enough

Eden Haiku: Even to fly inside the US? You would need a passport?

Adams Rubble: without the ID card

Adams Rubble: so everybody needs to get a new ID

Eden Haiku: Double checking and making sure you are not terrorists or immigrants :)

Riddle Sideways: with your shoes off, belts off, all the contents of your pockets out

Riddle Sideways: and proof you checked the citizen box on the census

Adams Rubble: and an xray of our body

Eden Haiku: So much security and still... we are not safe at all! Nobody is anymore.

Riddle Sideways: oh yes the xray

Eden Haiku: xray too?

 

IDs are no protection from rifles

 

Adams Rubble: new IDs are no protections from the AR15s

Riddle Sideways: kids learning to duck and cover (again)

Riddle Sideways: Yes! Adams. Damn it

Adams Rubble:bullet proof backpacks

Eden Haiku: That's horrible

Riddle Sideways: wonder if need Real ID to buy an AR15 at the gun show?

Adams Rubble: nope

Riddle Sideways: or just an NRA card

Adams Rubble: no ID

Eden Haiku: I guess not...

Adams Rubble: just the cash

Eden Haiku: What a world and what a time...

Adams Rubble: When the country comes to its senses, it is going to be a tricky problem getting those AR15s back that are out there

Adams Rubble: they are not going to want to give them up

Eden Haiku: yes

Adams Rubble: need powerful magnets

Eden Haiku: laughs

Riddle Sideways: "THEY ARE COMING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS"

Riddle Sideways:so vote those peaceful people out

Riddle Sideways: oh yes! the Acme magnets from Roadrunner

Adams Rubble giggles at the roadrunner reference

Adams Rubble: I hope your move goes smoothly next week eden

 

—BELL—

 

Riddle Sideways: if the Acme company could deliver a huge magnet and the coyote could afford that, why didn't the coyote just purchase a chicken dinner instead

Eden Haiku: Thank you Adams :)

Eden Haiku: giggles at Riddle's wisdom

Adams Rubble: Riddle is dabbing in philosophy again
