Two Wrongs

Johnny Utah: “Yea - I got my Knee folded back about 90º the wrong way.” 

Bodhi: “That’s why you never went pro?”

Johnny Utah: “Two years of surgery - missed my window. Went to law school instead.”

Bodhi: “Law school? You’re a Lawyer?! Well, life’s not over yet man, you’re surfin’.”

 "Knowledge is conventionally considered to be of two kinds: subjective and objective, knowing what and knowing how, having and being. The 'what' type is objective knowledge that you can acquire and have. It's the analytical knowledge of science, of facts that can be measured, calculated and tested, and so is almost the only knowledge taught in schools... The other kind of knowledge is "how", knowledge of being, of body, mind and soul that you can only discover for and in yourself."

Creating an authoritarian "coalition" to promote and encourage throngs of migrant city folks to overuse and disrupt long established traditional climbing areas, many natural rattlesnake habitat, makes about as much sense to us as establishing an authoritarian government entity "to protect wildlife and their natural habitats" that subsequently installs a 24/7/365 hissing, vibrating gas well directly enclosed by natural rattlesnake habitat. Not long thereafter, and to present, there is not a snake to be seen. And that was probably the largest concentration of rattlers we've encountered here within our beloved ridge tops. Climbed there for over twenty years - would occasionally step over rattlers. They didn't bother us - we didn't bother them.

Bodhi: They only live to get radical, they don't have any real understanding of the sea, so they'll never get the spiritual side of it."

"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather , he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else... From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands"

Our sermon for today

A Day At The Races

Some drag racing action from last fall -  Nostalgia Days at Keystone Raceway. Files and files of images as usual. Arbitrarily picked a bunch:

Keystone Raceway 

'69(?) Dodge Dart Swinger. A buddy had one - 340 six pack, 4-speed. That was a light and fast, torqued-up car. Was oftentimes hesitant to get in the passenger seat with 'em. Never if he was pissed off at his girlfriend

'40 era Willys gasser

'55 Chevy

'69 - '71(?) Plymouth Barracuda

Our favorite shot from the day - '66(?) Nova/'70(?) Impala

The same Nova bouncin' out of the start

A big wheelie for this '66(?) Corvette

'67 - '69 Mustang haulin' ass

'69 - '71 Camaro Z28

Another '69 - '71 Camaro

'68 - '71 Chevy Chevelle(s)

Ford Falcon heating up the slicks

A fast bike out of the hole

GTO and Mustang off the line

Very nice '67(?) Chevelle - had one

'69 - '70(?) Camaro

'77 - '78(?) Camaro burn out

A big wheelie from this '69-'70(?) Camaro

Ditto this '69-'71 Nova

'70 Chevelle SS - had a '71

Must have been a lot of Chevies out at the track that day - didn't notice until we went thru the shots - probably 80% of the images
