CNN) -- They bid farewell to their beloved trips to the opera and museum, the beach and Buddhist temples. They ate one last time at their favorite restaurants serving Indian curried chicken and warm bowls of Vietnamese pho. Leah Bird and her husband, Ed Wright, have traded their comfortable two-bedroom apartment and jobs in Beverly Hills, California, for life in a trailer on a five-acre Oregon farm. No longer do the couple hear roaring fire trucks in the street or chatter from patrons dining at outdoor cafes. On this farm, the dominant silence is occasionally interrupted by the sounds of frogs and crickets. im looking for my airsteam trailor as we speak........................d

His Stage, the Street; His Rapier, a Peeler Joe Ades i love this guy peeling carrots with the gods now

speedracer — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 17:27:32 GMT

Somehow, Joe Ades got people’s attention as the crowds swirled by at the Union Square Greenmarket, on their way to eyeing and buying the produce. He was the white-haired man with the British accent, the expensive European suits and shirts — the man selling the $5 peeler. For carrots. Or potatoes. His was a particular kind of street theater in a city that delights in in-your-face characters who are, and are not, what they seem. For he was the sidewalk pitchman with the Upper East Side apartment. The sidewalk pitchman who was a regular at expensive East Side restaurants, where no one believed his answer to the “So what do you do?” question: “I sell potato peelers on the street.” Mr. Ades (pronounced AH-dess) died on Sunday at 75, said his daughter, Ruth Ades Laurent of Manhattan. She said he never talked about how many peelers he sold in a year, or how many carrots he had sliced up during demonstrations. She said he stashed his inventory in what had been the maid’s room of the apartment. There were those at the Greenmarket who had heard the spiel, and heard the whispers. “Supposedly his wife is mega-mega-rich — we’ve done fashion shoots in that building,” said Rose-Marie Swift, a makeup artist, as she shopped at the Greenmarket on Monday. The facts? He was a widower. The apartment had been his wife’s — his fourth wife’s. And besides Ms. Laurent, he is survived by two sons, Sam, of Sydney, Australia, and David, of Byron Bay, Australia; two brothers, Dennis, of Toronto, and Andre, of Sydney; a sister, Vida, of Toronto; and three granddaughters. i wonder if i can get his spot

a poem by my freind called the last day i wanted to share

speedracer — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 00:00:44 GMT

I was there looking at you.... What beautiful soul your eyes reflect. If I could fall into them, and swim in their peaceful black water, I would give up my pride and surrender. Yes, I felt your warmth, your lovely embrace, and friendly shoulders; I was happy. And you... You where there looking at me.... What beautiful heart I had for you. If I could my feelings mystify, and fly over the mountains to the sky, I would follow the sun to its natural splendor. Yes, you felt myself, and I thank you. its awsome

The Story of Sourdough french Bread in my town

speedracer — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 00:38:09 GMT

Everyone knows1849 as the year San Francisco was swarmed by raucous young men in hot pursuit of the “gold in them thar hills,” but another valuable resource “discovered” here that year put San Francisco on the culinary map. “Lactobacillus sanfrancisco” may not sound like a precious commodity, but it's the secret ingredient that makes San Francisco’s sourdough bread world-famous. And the story of the original San Francisco sourdough is intricately tied to the tale of the 49ers. Using bread “starters”—an ancient method of making bread with a fermented mixture of flour, water, and yeast—was common practice in the 19 th century. Miners purchased such starters in San Francisco and carried them on their treasure-seeking journeys to the Sierra foothills, where they baked loaves with a unique, sour tang found nowhere else in the world. Their sourdough bread was so much a part of the culture that seasoned prospectors came to be known as “sourdoughs”—having long fermented in the mines. and thats the story and now im eating some with butter as im in san francisco my home town who wants a bite.................................................d

Wrapped in red silk and adorned with red flowers in her hair, Matani Shakya received approval from the priests and President Ram Baran Yadav in a centuries-old tradition with deep ties to Nepal's monarchy, which was abolished in May. The new "kumari" or living goddess, was carried from her parents' home to an ancient palatial temple in the heart of the Nepali capital, Katmandu, where she will live until she reaches puberty and loses her divine status. She will be worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists as an incarnation of the powerful Hindu deity Taleju. a real goddess good news for the world.....................d

MY DAY AT Crystal Mine in the desert

speedracer — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:26:23 GMT

The Crystal Mine gets its name from the crystals that were mined here. During World War II crystals were needed in abundance for use in two-way radios. Dynamite was used to blast the hillside and bring the crystals to the surface. It is still possible to find nice whole crystals in the blast remnants; though it takes some work. Digging and collecting is allowed. You are allowed to remove one five-pound bucket of crystals per week. well i spent the day digging and walking and the power of the world led me to this wonderous Crystal now thats real energy..........................d ps getting there was a interesting journey of roads with no signs and meeting up with a old prospector richard who was our wonderful guide
