Post about Nothing

It has been awhile since I have written and my schedule is not giving me the same time periods to sit down and write as much as I did for a long time.  We all go through changes and I guess this is my time.  It is not that I do not want to write and I see many observations on so many things each day that I log away into my brain and some to paper to be able to develop later.

Work in the Alaskan summers is always busy with the limited construction season and the logistics of getting tons of equipment and materials to some of the remote locations but that is just an excuse.  I have always found the time to write something.  Lately it is not coming easy and is somewhat embarrassing that I just cannot focus on looking at the oddities of the world around me when my own world is in cross hairs of examination.  There are amazing things going on around me with the places and people I meet in these remote villages as well as in my time in Anchorage with the great friends I come in contact with.  My problem seems to be able to follow through with that spark of my imagination to put it down to share with everyone and blog as often as I know I should.

I still think funny things and there have been situations lately that I would love to share but cannot.  Changes come and adjustments are made so hopefully things in the future will allow me to sit and write . . . I do miss it as it is a part of me.  Maybe this is my “block” time that allows one to rethink styles, levity, and the condition of one’s heart.

Right now it seems it is a lot about nothing.  Seinfeld has several episodes where they (Jerry & George) tried to get a television show where each episode was about nothing in particular, much like Seinfeld was.  It was witty and had many hilarious moments that occupied time but overall it was years of great writing about nothing.

I will close this post about nothing and look forward to the times I can share with you the kindness and weirdness that is in my head but right now chooses to stay within.

Until next time.

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a gol...

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o...

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L...
