Jokerman

"Standing on the water, casting your breath while the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing; Distant ships sailing in through the mist, you were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing" Jokerman - Bob Dylan

I was listening to this song this morning and let my mind wander with the words then spent the next ten minutes painting the picture. Dylan at his best can make your head hurt the same way spending too much time contemplating the cosmos can; like freezebrain. Genius is just slightly beyond my comprehension. Gotta respect it though.

This morning I could nearly leave the front door of the Embassy to stand on the water of the St. John. We've had a wet, wet fall and the river is at Spring levels...very, very strange. It's getting cold too so it should be interesting if it starts to freeze at this level. Could be a really wet spring.

December is upon up the holiday festivities are starting to gear up. Lots of folks coming home for Christmas so it should be fun-filled. To gear up for the holidays I have been making nightly trips to the mall to spread sale rumors and then sprinting from store to store. It's funny to watch the pushing and shoving start and it's good exercise too. Holiday shoppers are crazy! It's just slightly beyond my comprehension; proving once again that crazy is just around the corner from genius.

Pace out
