DIRTYBENNY WRITES

Last year I posted about the pair of geese nesting on my pond.  They had 7 goslings.  They all just disappeared in 2 days.  I speculated that they were eaten by a snapping turtle.  I think I was wrong.  https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2025/05/geese-and-goslingsgone.html I am delighted to report that I saw 5 geese on my front lawn yesterday.  

 Another reason to avoid movies and pop music....not knowing what information is being broadcast outside of the threshold of our senses.  There is certain audio that is looped backwards as noise "backdrops". But they are usually accompanied by forward voices as well. Because it's being used as layered noise. I don't find it nearly as much as I used to. The technique is evolving. The same kind of technology that hides voices in rhytmic sound or ambient sounds have been used in movies since Saving Private Ryan and before.

It is striking how recent this whole system of slavery has been imposed on manKIND.

Years ago,  I visited several creepy crypts in Italy.  They are chilling to say the least. 

This same pattern has been highlighted by My Lunch Break with regard to the given history of Old World buildings.

I have been binging on Julie London for my daily nightcap...it is striking how spare this music is.  This is in contradistinction to the aural assault that much of music is today.
