I FLOAT THROUGH A PASTORAL DREAMSCAPE NOW . THE DELTA SOIL IS BLACK AND THE RIVER HAS BEEN PREPARING THIS SOIL FOR CENTURIES . THE VEGETATION , BOTH FARMED AND NATURAL IS EXPLOSIVE AND LUSH . THERE IS STRONG TIDAL EFFECT NOW AND THE BANKS ARE A DARK GREEN MUCK. THERE IS MORNING FOG AND I OFTEN SMELL THE OCEAN .
I HAD A VISUAL ARTS AFTERNOON WHEN I STOPPED IN AN AREA THAT WAS DIKED AND FLOODED TO HARVEST SOME KIND OF BOG BERRIES . THEY WERE VERY BRIGHT RED AND LOOKED SIMILAR TO CRANBERRIES BUT LARGER . I DRAGGED THE BLUE RAFT OVER THE DIKE WALL AND FOR A QUICK MOMENT I PADDLED ALONG IN 4 INCHES OF FLOATING FRUIT . I THINK I WAS SLIDING OVER THE TOP LAYER MORE THAN ACTUALLY FLOATING .
AT STAMPEDE CENTRAL IT HAS BEEN A CALMER WEEK . THINGS ARE MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL . BLOOD COUNTS CONTINUE TO BE STRONG AND I AM HAPPY WITH HOW THINGS ARE GOING .
ONE NIGHT LITTLE SAM AND I WALKED OUT INTO THE UNDERGROUND PARKING AT SCCA AS A GENTLEMAN WAS STARTING A FULL DRESS HARLEY WITH ENOUGH CHROME TO RETIRE ON . WHEN IT STARTED UP IT WAS A REAL BULLFROG . HE BACKED OUT OF HIS STALL AND WHEN HE OPENED THE ACCELERATOR TO GET MOVING HE SET OFF ABOUT 5 CAR ALARMS IN THE PROCESS. IT WAS REALLY A SHOW THEN , LIKE A LOT OF NOISE , LIKE A MASTADON CRASHING AROUND IN AN AVIARY . WE HAD A GOOD LAUGH .
THE JOURNEY ROLLS ALONG , PEACE, KHUN CHUCK
