Row, row, row your boat everly down life’s stream;
Wearily, warily, wearily, warily in the demon’s dream.

“This world is just a dream of a Demon”
Inscription from one of Bogomil tombstones.
Christopher J. McCandless (February 12, 1968 – August 1992)
“Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. So now, after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution. No longer to be poisoned by civilization, he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild. Alexander Supertramp. May 1992.”
“For a moment she rediscovered the purpose of her life. She was here on earth to grasp the meaning of its wild enchantment, and to call each thing by its right name ….”
– Boris Pasternak

American Amnesialism: When Americans, and especially Democrats, forget the enduring collateral damage caused by the policies of their 42nd president, William Jefferson Clinton, because he’s so darn charming and “folksy” when he speaks.

I open my eyes and ochre water’s all around
I’m underneath, but I’m not scared, I still see golden sunlight too
I see your legs; you’ve let me go
and I think I’m down here all alone
I hear voices, but I can’t breathe
So I leave, I’m off to explore
But wait, there’s me! – that’s my face!
Can’t you see, that somehow now, there’s two of me?!
you finally see — the first me
you slowly raise her up
She coughs and breathes;
and the other me just goes, She floats away
But, which one Am i?
now, i’m not sure
Am i the real, or was it She?

My Great Grandmother Survived “The Great Tri-State Tornado” of 1925 – the worst tornado in U.S. in history (to date)
The 100 Year Anniversary of The Great Tri-State Tornado
Seeing the footage, videos and photos of splintered trees, the rubble of homes, first responders and devastated people and hearing of the rising tolls of the injured, missing and dead and imagining the immense pain of all the fractured families — especially in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and in Joplin, Missouri — it is all the more remarkable to me that my great grandmother, Mable Agnes Brantley, then just one day shy of her 18th birthday, and her soon-to-be husband, Harry T. Ruble, survived the 1925 “Tri-State” tornado.
That tornado devastated the town of Murphysboro in Jackson County in Southern Illinois. It was the WORST tornado in U.S. history to date: an F5 on the Fujita Scale — nearly 700 people died — but it is also infamous for its duration, sustained speed, length and breadth!
Mable Brantley would go on to have a full life, to raise children during the Great Depression, to work outside the home before and during the War Effort and for decades after — and more importantly, to help to raise her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great, great grandchildren.
