Violence Against Woman









Violence against woman has been with the human race from before we evolved our intelligence.  Humans are on the cusp of, if not an evolutionary advancement, at least a significant change in our behavior. Biologically there was no advantage to beating our females and many reasons not to.  However, progress has been slow to evolve.  If one has not recently realized it, observe the explosive growth in the power and wealth of the females and the undisciplined decline of my sex.  It may be that when we finally cast off our machoism we will discover our manliness.

Welcome to Ruins Hall, Glen Rock, Pennsylvania


While on a bike ride in southern Pennsylvania right above the Mason Dixon line I came upon a town called Glen Rock. 
I came across what appeared to have been an abandoned  factory or warehouse.  I followed my nose (i.e., my camera) inside and discovered a roofless, open to the elements interior containing a number of pictures painted on the wall.  My initial impression was that it was graffiti,  but looking further, I saw it was organized and interesting.  While the paintings on the walls were not studied professional works they gave me immense pleasure to see them because I knew that these folks had within them the love and spirit of the beauty of existence.    



I would guess the attractive young ladies above are the artists who produced the work. It is a pleasure to see their images on the wall but where are the boys?  I think most boys have just dropped from the intellectual, artistic and commercial worlds with their addiction to the hand held computer.

It Is No Longer Possible To Get From Here To There


God damn quantum physics and the damage it rained on my universe.  

In the days before age, when things smelled fresh and God still held decaying dominion over the things of this and that and up was still up down was still down and it was still possible to fall in love forever.  

The decaying of matter by time no longer provided an escape for this fool who anticipated it would continue forever.
