what is up, what is down?

dream last night: a gift from a stranger, a $5mil winning lotto ticket, already scratched.

knew it was a dream, woke up in dream, still dreaming, without the tix, went back to sleep in the dream, dreaming again, and found it... at least 3 times.


I finally got work. a contract is being written. designing a permaculture course for the local county. I have good support on this from local / regional folks. breathe. income starts in October.

meanwhile, it costs me $25 in gas for each aikido class I must drive to in order to teach; even as this happens the county parks and rec makes $350 a month on my work.

I just missed my bus. I have $12... and faith.

my camera is broken. above is the last picture i took, there were at least 25 of them, I couldnt get them all in one frame.

taken somewhere near home, in a galaxy far, far away...

Up and down are subjective terms.

I mean really, I can show you up, but what does that mean to someone in Amsterdam?

LB: the drive is 80 miles 2x a week. I get about 14 mpg.

MG: nothin' makes cents.

I remember how I lost my breath when the ticket was handed to me. I was like "wow, I can finally save all those trees, and demonstrate some land management that makes sense and gives a persona chance to make a living!" but One has to BUY the trees BEFORE they get cut to show that LEAVING THEM is more proffitable than cutting them. and I cant afofrd to buy them. Yet. but i consider the dream an omen, amen :)

The dream may very well be a harbinger of a new Treeconomy. That would be unbeleafable.

geeze 14 mpg? even my crap '94 toyota with almost 175,000 miles on it still gets like 30, it would probably do better if i ever changed the oil or got a tune up. i should look in to that

I miss you. Hope I can wrap this up and get myself back up there. Somehow, on a wish and a prayer, but today in class this guy who was lecturing told this story that was supposed to prove to us that non-profits were smoking crack, because some non-profit offered to pay 90K (for a lawyer), and that was indicative that they clearly wanted their lawyer to "be a pauper." In what fucking universe does 90K make you a pauper, and can I please take my shit somewhere that reality computes to the ordinary person? I guess if you're a lawyer or an MBA you're automatically entitled to 160 grand in the first year...the rest of us get to be paupers and do all the work.
