I think there’s a bit about Scottish history but I can’t track it down.

Elder Care and Coronachan – My Grandfather is at the Hospital


Initial reaction video here.

My gdad who has had two strokes already got more than winded after his walk this afternoon. He is currently in the hospital. I discuss the situation at my local ER and do some broader social commentary.

I’m just as concerned that he’s going to get Covid from the hospital as I am about the possibility of having just had a third stroke.

UPS Dirt Shirt, Muscovite Immunity, and the dangers of Suburbia


I’m marinating in grime from around the world every workday and they think giving me a surgical mask is gonna help.

What probably helps more than anything is the fact that I swam in rivers that glowed green Fallout style as kid in 90’s Moscow.

This suburban denial of death and risk is deadlier than any pathogen.

Obviously this vid is a goof but I do mean what I said about the pearl clutching and ineffective, livelihood ruining, token gestrues.

To Mask or Not to Mask?


The CDC has gone schizo and now I’m wearing a surgical petri dish on my facehole.

Here’s an article on the mask debate: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/coronavirus-pandemic-airborne-go-outside-masks/609235/

First, the CDC said save masks for medical personel then on April 3rd Trump wanted us to gimp up Bane style.

There’s a lot to unpack here, and this video isn’t going to do that. This is just a breif ramble on some stuff I learned and the shittiness of this late stage policy and my flimsy ass surgical mask.

It’s goofy out there and I’m gardening partially because it rocks and partially because it’s the perfect activity for getting vitamin D, and taking the edge off, all while growing freakin food.

The Saracens in Flight (Song/Poem/Guitar Idea)


Sifting round for musical ideas.


Black sand shivers

Dog star glimmers

Sapphire silence

Subtle violence

The Saracens in flight

Lamps are burning

Sacred yearning

For the ending of the light

Bones are dancing turning engines

(Crystalline machinery)

Of the rite

The Saracens in flight

False so called is all this wisdom

True it never was a thing

Here beneath the ruined kingdom

Lay the bones of scarlet king

The Saracens in flight

For the aeon is upon us

At the crossroads

Of Lemuria and Kyuss

Rise o sleeprs from abodes

Join the chorus

Of the hawk-wind

Screeching cross this seabed dry

The Saracens in flight

Restored flesh

Infused with spirit

Fresh like dew

Without limit

Sands they drew

From the beginning

Set the leaning

Hour glass aright

The Saracens in flight
