the wild hunt, selene, norn, nemesis spake, semele, ixion, celebe,



the wild hunt 



fohn wind hard licks the wild hunt erupting

vultures drop, motionless, shadows disrupting

   moonlit groves, armies of faries

   thrashing acorns as tornadoes carry us



down stark roads over homes wrongful built,

for hearth-fires wodan keeps, unwise wood split

   undoing the road and what's come before

   and that which was known, once before sworn



dandy dogs hunting, stay on your steed

to touch ground when godan hunts; ashes guaranteed,

   our tender feet march not that fohn wind,

   rises hot focus up mountains sharp grin



   cutting god's ice beard, the spray off blood hooves;

   red roaming ghost kings, all sensible move

____________





          selene     





Selene drives her moon chariot wanton wise

pulling men-hearts out to later feed mice

   above green earth her palace so pale

   from craters her whims all mortals regale



moonstruck by proxy, the wine in our glasses

moondrunk the chipmunk, evading owl passes,

   Selene never parks her orb spinning high

   without clouds for hitch-posts cloistered nigh



formed of Phoebe, or maybe old Theia

fished in by gravity, mystery, the moon sees us;

   silhouette of substances similar, serene

   man is kind love until shown his own spleen



shining her trademark, all night she delivers

rolling foul heavens, arming cupid's deft quivers

Swans from swain broods emerge to the Norns

who thread twine, riverine, alluvial born;

  the Norns sort us out, trophy in the midden



a root runs true or turns false no less,

carries our water, the ash of success

   the limbs roost above our imperiled crowns

   widow-maker swooping, silently browned



no fish to swan stalking, mirror calm lake,

no leaf left untasted, the hart there to take

   no dirt clod molested, the serpent true hiss

   there in Norn's weaving wand's illustriousness



   noblest of trees, well watered abides

   ribs crack oak coal, heat presides

Finally Nemesis spake, her truth a rake,

clawing man's crime piles he takes/takes


   for granted, till spark make bonfire;


   good, party ----get a marshmallow, dear




said Nemesis, whittling weeping willow


switches, laying castor&pollux egg on a pillow;


   mother of helen, cause of collection,


   armies assembled to die, perfection;

"Moreno..... has dismissed Assange as “a Roger Stone in my shoe.”

“WikiLeaks — I love WikiLeaks!” he said in October 2016 at a rally in Pennsylvania, waving a report on the latest disclosures.

“Boy, I love reading those WikiLeaks,” Trump said a few days before the election after a new dump of emails.

Asked Thursday about those remarks, President Trump told reporters:

“I know nothing about Wikileaks. It’s not my thing. 

And I know there was something having to do with Julian Assange. . . . That will be a determination, I would imagine, mostly by the attorney general. . . .

I know nothing really about it.

It’s not my deal in life.”

210 W 4th street the Dalles, shiplap siding, high altitude record



Gray was born on February 16, 1889 in Pasco, Washington.

 He was the son of William Polk Gray (1845-1929), a prominent steamboat captain in the Northwestern United States, and Oceana Falkland Bush.

Hawthorne Charles Gray (February 16, 1889 – November 4, 1927) was a captain in the United States Army Air Corps.

 On November 4, 1927, he succeeded in setting a new altitude record in a silk, rubberized, and aluminum-coated balloon launched from Scott Field near Belleville, Illinois, reaching 42,470 ft (12.94 km), but died during his descent after his oxygen supply became depleted

MARRIAGE BIOGRAPHY: (Excerpts from 'Reminiscences of Capt. W. P. Gray', Page 344)
"I was married on October 27, 1868, at Portland, Oregon. My wife's name was Oceana Falkland Bush. She was the adopted daughter of Mrs. Hawthorne, of Portland, a pioneer family after whom Hawthorne avenue and Hawthorne Park are named. 

"My wife was born on her father's brig, the 'Rising Sun,' just off of the Falkland Islands while on a voyage around the Horn. I met her for the first time at the celebration over the driving of the first spike in the Oregon and California railroad in East Portland, April 16, 1868."

scapular winging, exterior house painting injury


"Scapular winging represents a rare phenomenon that most commonly results from nerve damage to either the long thoracic nerve, spinal accessory nerve, or, less commonly, the dorsal scapular nerve.

This injury results in an abnormal scapulohumeral interaction during kinetic motion known as scapular dyskinesis. In this case report, the patient presented with scapular dyskinesis and medial scapular winging caused by overhead weight-lifting exercises, and a long thoracic nerve injury was diagnosed.

 Physicians are encouraged to consider long thoracic nerve damage in a patient with a history of repetitive overhead movements who presents with scapular dyskinesis and the corresponding restriction of overhead arm motions."

https://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2599973


"Scapular winging can markedly hinder the function of the upper extremity. Nerve damage represents the most common cause, most often to the long thoracic nerve or the spinal accessory nerve.1 Additional causes of scapular winging include direct trauma to the scapulothoracic muscles or structural abnormalities that result in shoulder instability.

Medial winging of the scapula manifests with damage to the long thoracic nerve, and lateral winging occurs with damage to the spinal accessory nerve or the dorsal scapular nerve, although the latter is less common.

 Serratus anterior paralysis is not a common comorbidity, with 1 case of long thoracic nerve damage among 38,500 patients with this condition.

Seventeen different muscles attach to the scapula. The serratus anterior and lower trapezius muscles are the major contributors to the stabilization of the scapula

Socialist Venezuela/Rosneft BRIBED $500,000 to Trump's inauguration


Socialist Venezuela chipped in $500,000 to Trump's inauguration

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/19/venezuela-donation-donald-trump-inauguration

"A Venezuelan state-owned oil company, heavily indebted to the Russian oil giant Rosneft, made a $500,000 donation to Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities, it has emerged.

Foreign donations are banned under US law, but the Venezuelan company, PdVSA, made the donation through a US affiliate, Citgo Petrol, soon after offering a nearly 50% stake in Citgo to Rosneft as collateral for a $1.5bn loan.

Under current circumstances, however, Rosneft could not take ownership of its shares in Citgo – which owns three refineries, as well as pipelines and oil terminals – because the Russian firm and its boss, Igor Sechin, are under US sanctions linked to Moscow’s military intervention in eastern Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea.

 A dossier put together last year by a former British intelligence officer, Christopher Steele, containing allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow over Russian intervention in the US presidential elections, mentions Rosneft as a central part of the supposed conspiracy.

 Steele claimed that Sechin, a close associate of Vladmir Putin, met one of Trump’s foreign policy advisers, Carter Page, and offered him brokerage in the sale of 19% of Rosneft shares.

Page has denied meeting Sechin, but his visit to Moscow in July is reported by the New York Times to have been a catalyst for the launch of a FBI investigation into Trump-Russia links. In December, Russia sold a 19.5% share in Rosneft for more than €10bn ($10.7bn).

 Some of it was bought by Qatar and Glencore, a Swiss-based oil trading company, but the new owners of most of the stake remain shrouded in mystery."

Samochornov, Mike Mukassey, Kaveladze, Trump Tower ghosts


Somehow, the NY Times can't come up with a photo of Irakly Kaveladze, a known money launderer.

Somehow, the 8th person at the Trump Tower meeting on June 9, 2016 isn't even listed:


"A translator named Anatoli Samochornov was in the meeting between Donald Trump’s campaign team and two Russian lobbyists last year.

Samochornov, an American citizen, has worked as a translator for Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who led the meeting with Donald Trump Jr. on June 9, 2016.

 Samochornov translated for Veselnitskaya while she represented a Russian defendant in a money-laundering case in federal court last year and accompanied her to Belgium to promote a film critical of a U.S. anti-money laundering law.

Samochornov has a long track record of interpreting for governmental agencies and dignitaries, including Russia’s leading human rights activist and the U.S. State Department.
Samochornov’s work for Veselnitskaya extended outside of the courtroom. 

Veselnitskaya formed a nonprofit group called the Human Rights Accountability Global Initiative Foundation, which employed Akhmetshin as a lobbyist. The group’s stated purpose is to restart the adoptions of Russian children to the U.S. by repealing the Magnitsky Act.

In April 2016, Samochornov interpreted for Veselnitskaya at an aborted screening of an anti-Magnitsky Act documentary in Belgium.


Federal prosecutors claimed in court that Samochornov was an “officer” of Veselnitskaya’s group. 

In one exchange from May 2017, prosecutors and defense attorneys sparred over whether Samochornov should be allowed to serve as an interpreter for Denis Katsyv, owner of Russian company Prevezon on trial for money laundering.


Samochornov was named on Friday by Rinat Akhmetshin, a lobbyist who also attended the Trump Tower meeting. Samochornov’s mother-in-law confirmed he was at the meeting in an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast at his home on Thursday morning."

https://www.thedailybeast.com/man-who-joined-russians-in-trump-meeting-just-an-interpreter-says-mother-in-law

"He has apparently been engaged in lobbying efforts that seem to have some connection to at least the defendants’ lawyers in Washington,” assistant U.S. attorney Paul Monteleoni said, according to a court transcript."

Trump Tower Russia Meeting

"Donald Trump Jr. arranged a meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer after being told that the Russian government wanted to share damaging information about Mrs. Clinton.

 After the meeting was uncovered by The New York Times, the Trump team pushed a false narrative about the reason for holding it."

Bloodgood Nurseries, Flushing NY, established 1790





The project site originally was part of the Bloodgood family homestead, which was
acquired, probably by early Flushing settler Franz (or Francis) Bloodgood (or Bloctgoct), in
the second half of the 1600s, although archival sources differ as to the exact year (Munsell
1882:90; Anonymous n.d.:16; Chapman Publishing 1896:1192) Soon after the

Bloodgoods purchased the land, though, a house was constructed on the east side of what
would become Main Street, within modem Block 4978. This house, later known as the
Garretson House, after descendant Eliza Bloodgood's husband, Garret R. Garretson, stood
just north of the project site, within modem Lots 104 and 107, until its demolition in 1911.

The core of the house was a small structure, presumably dating to the original construction,
but over time the house was lengthened and rooms added, as need warranted. The length of
the house paralleled Main Street. 

A description of the house during the 1880s, which by
then had become one story with a garret, indicated the first floor had seven rooms
(including two kitchens, three bedrooms, a parlor, a living room, a dining room, and a large
hall) and the second floor had three large bedrooms and a garret. 

The front of the house,
facing Main Street, originally had a sloping lawn, but this feature was truncated when Main
Street was widened, and a low retaining wall was built in front of the house to hold back the
cut bank, with steps leading up from the street. A thick hedge capped the retaining wall,
and rose vines obliterated much of the house's facade (Lawson 1952:163-165). A
photograph of the house illustrates these features (Figure 5).

Although the Garretson house was just outside the project site, the homestead associated
with the house covered all of Lot 101, as well as portions of modem 39th Avenue and 138th
Street. Presumably, descendants of Franz Bloodgood lived on the property from the second
half of the 1600s through the early 1800s, but little is known of them, other than their family
name. 

It appears that Eliza Bloodgood's father, Daniel Bloodgood, headed a household and
occupied the property by 1800 and until at least 1830. Federal census records made in
1800, 1810, 1820, and 1830 list Daniel Bloodgood as the head of a household that included
from six to eleven people, depending on the year. 

Daniel Bloodgood was a fruit grower,
specializing in cherry trees (Lawson 1952:163-165). The 1820 federal census, however,
indicates three members of Daniel Bloodgood's household were engaged in manufacturing,
suggesting that the B1oodgoods may have held other occupations as well.

Occupation of 'the homestead during the remainder of the nineteenth century is well

documented, owing primarily to the success of Garret Garretson, who married Eliza Bloodgood and took over her family's land. 

Garretson was born inNew Jersey in 1807, and
moved to New York at age 16 to work as the overseer for William R. Prince's nursery,
which later became one of the largest nurseries in the country, if not the world.

 In 1836,
Garretson opened his own business growing and selling seeds. At the time, there were only
three other seed businesses in the country. Garretson had a 100-acre farm, where he grew
most of the seeds, on Jamaica Road, east of Flushing. His business flourished, and he

ultimately sold his seeds allover the world. Within the project site, along 38th Avenue,
Garretson had a seed store, or warehouse, from which he sold and stored his stock. It was a
long frame building, known as Garretson's Seed House, which endured until 1910, when it
was razed (Chapman Publishing Co. 1896:1191-1192; Flushing Evening Journal March 24,
1910). The Garret Garretson household is documented in federal censuses from 1840
through 1880. The household included Garretson, listed variously as a seedsman or seeds
merchant, his wife Eliza, and their children: Alonzo, Imogene, Susannah, Charles, Frank,
and Jane. The household also usually included one or two female servants, who were often
Irish immigrants.

Several other structures were present on the Garretson estate, as evidenced by nineteenth
century maps. A map made by Elijah Smith in 1841 is the first to show the estate in detail
(Figure 6). Here, three buildings are shown on the property: the larger structure set back
from Main Street is the Garretson house, the seed store building is shown along Liberty
Street (later Lincoln Street, and now 38th Avenue), and a third small structure, south of the
house along Main Street, may be what a 1859 map refers to as an "office" (Walling 1859;
Figure 7). Lawson (1952:77) suggests that this structure was one story high, and removed
in 1867, in anticipation of laying out Locust Street (now 39th Avenue), which had been
proposed as early as 1859, but not carried out until 1875 (Kearns et al. 1988:16). Thus, the
former footprint of this structure appears to lie under the roadbed of 39th Avenue, and not
within the project site. The 1873 Beers map shows that the structure south of the house had
been removed by this time; no other buildings besides the house and the seed store were

present on the Garretson property (Figure 8).

Lucinda Mahala Lee Miller


Lucinda Mahala Lee Miller, age 90



"The word Mahala or Mahalla is used in many languages and countries meaning neighborhood or location originated in Arabic محلة mähallä, from the root meaning ‘to settle’, ‘to occupy’ derived from the verb halla (to untie), as in untying a pack horse or camel to make a camp.

In ancient cultures hospitality involved welcoming the stranger at the host location and offering him food, shelter, and safety.

 This meaning of hospitality centers on the belief that strangers should be assisted and protected while traveling."

postcard from turquoise spiral tornado



Doing wine shows in London
 and then Dusseldorf and Hamburg German
 from the 10th to like the 21st
 then come back from Milan on the 27th.
 So maybe one more country in the last week,
 France or Spain probably. 
Wanted to go to Morocco
 but will probably wait
 till we could spend more time there
 cause it's more expensive

Saw my first
european castle!
