DIRTYBENNY WRITES

Today is my parent's wedding anniversary. They are gone...erased from this place. Aside from my witness, there is no history or record of their existence.  All of their years of toil, trauma, and work that I witnessed have been erased from this place.   They are nothing...they have been erased and forgotten. My hope is that they are in a better place without suffering....as they did here.  I am not optimistic to that end.

I so wanted to be an outsider from the system.  Grunge was waiting there for me. Soundgarden and Nirvana were my faves.I remember snooping out their early CDs at the shop next to CBGB on the lower east side.  I was so angry and frustrated with the reality.   I have very little recollection of this concert.  Looking back, it really seems like this music is channelled and their bodies are just antennae to put the music out to the crowd.  The intensity of the movements are almost inhuman.  Later in his post Soundgarden career, I saw and met Chris Cornell in Providence.   He barely moved on stage....

 

I rarely leave my compound and go out as little as possible.  A friend who does my tree planting and nursery work was here 2 years ago with his 9 year old grandson.  He was talkative, joking, inquisitive, and engaged.  He showed me a written journal that he was keeping.   He wanted to walk around the property and have me tell him the names of each of the trees.  At one point, he asked me if I believed in god. I was struck by the personality and curiosity of this young man.  He visited here last week with his family.  He didn't say 10 words to me or his grandfather.  He just sat on the steps and played on his phone.  His grandfather and I walked around and planned where the new fruit trees should be planted.  He just sat on the steps staring into the black mirror, a casualty of the technology. 

 

 

  terraform /ˈterəˌfôrm/ Depending on the context, terraform has two primary definitions: an IT tool for managing infrastructure and a science-fiction term for planetary engineering . [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] 1. Information Technology (IT) In software and DevOps, Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool developed by HashiCorp. It allows developers and engineers to build, modify, and manage cloud or on-premises IT resources using human-readable configuration files. [ 1 , 2 ] Declarative Approach: You define the "end state" you want for your infrastructure (e.g., "I need 5 servers and 2 databases"), and the tool automatically figures out how to build it. Key Benefits: It eliminates the need for manual, error-prone setup. It allows code to be versioned, reused, and deployed consistently. Resources: To get started or learn more, check out the HashiCorp Terraform Documentation . 2. Science & Astronomy (Planetary Engineering) As a verb (and a hypothetical s...

Another terrific discussion from Silas and crew on what the hell is going on here.   So few embrace big picture discussions such as this.  Count me in with Zeal as Silas loses me in the second half of the discussion.   Finally, this crew is acknowledging that manKIND is under attack and at war with a brutal ruthless enemy.

My Dad told me of riding the trolleys in the small towns of Pennsylvania....all gone by the time I arrived on the scene.
