Marie Of Euston Station - Dublin

Last Monday I missed the 1:25pm United flight from Dublin to Newark. All my fault. I got lost between terminals 1 and 2. It happens, but United rebooked my flight for tomorrow without offering free accommodations other than the inner security open 24 hours after day. I had seen several travelers stretched out on the stone floor three moons before. there was another option and I called Mollie Rainforest, a photographer for the Trans Gender Festival. she hadn't any room, but contacted Harry, the director of PUPPY GIRL LOVE. He happily agreed to share his 4 star hotel room. Great news, although I had to kill time, since he had a meeting with his producers. Years ago a few hours in a pub was an easy solution. I've been off my drink for over four years. Sober all of them. The hotel the Ashling across the River Liffey had a warm lobby that afternoon. Sunny outside and I crossed the river to the Victorian train station. The sun bright on the tidal stream. Tea. Irish tea. My Nana made a wicked cup of tea. Milky and sweet. I entered the station. The first time in al ost thirty years. Last time with Ty Spaulding heading back to Galeay to catch a bus to Cliften and then a car down to Bally oneeley. The station wss unchanged save for the digitaldepature board and themodrrn cafes. A train was leaving for the West.I walked T o a sandwich shop. A old woman sat with an empty tea cup on the table along with a cigarette butt smoked to the quick. Our eyes met with recognition. She was younger than me. Almost the same age. We knew the last century. She played with a strand of brown gray matted hair

The Best Ordovician Horseshoe Crab in the World - Earth Day

Dating back in time to the Ordovician age 450 million years ago horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils. These ancient invertebrates' eyes are a million times more sensitive to light than humans, but they don't have wear sunglasses, while mating in mud or sand of shallow coastal waters of the East coasts of America and South East Asia. Sadly these extraordinary creatures are threatened by extinction in the Atlantic Ocean, due to pollution and over-harvesting to provide bait for eels.

In Asia their eggs are a delicacy for the Thais.

For ages I thought แมงดาจาน or maeng daa sounded the same as แมงดา to the farang ear, but แมงดา means pimp and it's difficult to tell the phonetic difference between แมงดาจาน and แมงดา when drinking beer at the beach of Ban Amphur.

Few Americans have ever tasted maeng daa roe, but it's delicious or ความอร่อย anywhere in the world, but never after they've made love.

The Timeliness of Horseshoe Crabs - All the Best Earth day

Fotos from beneath the Broad Channel Bridge June 2025

Now awaiting on Clinton Hill for the Summer homecoming of the Horeseshoe Crabs.

Rene Descartes author of The Age of Reason had argued that animals had no intelligence, because they had no sense of time. The rationalist lablled them 'automata'. or mndless creatures. To argue that accusation horseshoes crabs return to the same beach to lay eggs year after year according to the cosmic time of the moon and have for over 400 million years well before Man needed a clock to know the time.

Eternity now

Horseshoe crabs only exist on the East Coast of America and Southeast Asia. A species 440 millions old according to man's calculations. I know nothing thankfully. Happy Earth Day econsume.

SINDAY AFTERNOON AT THE BONEYARD

The only name I recall from the tombstones of the Howth cemetery was Quigley, a young man, they all are to me, was tending to the family plot. I respectably backed off the grave. Brian had lived in Howth all his life as had his antecedents underneath the soil. Tight with words he said succinctly, "Howth a country all on its own." I walked away with a nod leaving him to the prayers and the wind.

Ice Age Fini 2022

The last Ice Age ended somewhere around 11,700 years ago.

Since then glacier around the globe have shrunk from the North and South Poles.

In 2017 I resided in Juneau, Alaska. The Mendenhall glacier was fourteen miles from my house. I have yet to hike the Western Trail to the ice caves.

The couple running the salmon shack near my place of work said I had better go this year.

"Next year they won't be here."

I planned to hump the trail this coming Friday.

5-6 hours.

Alone.

In bear country.

But fuck it.

I am one of the last Neanderthals.

We loved the Ice Age.

Mostly because they were no humans.

Go Neanderthals Go 2016

The Neanderthals dominated Europe and Asia for almost a half-million years. This species vanished from the Earth 24,000 years ago. Anthropologists once blamed the fall of the Neanderthals on their stupidity, while recent studies have revealed that the ancient men had larger brains than their homo sapiens descendants and were stronger and taller than as well as better adapted to the colder climates of the Great Ice Age.

The mystery of their disappearance has troubled scientists, although a report in the BBC suggested that Neanderthals were already on the verge of extinction and the final shove came from drastic changes in the weather.

I beg to differ for I have theorized that Neanderthals did not vanish, but their DNA fused with homo sapiens at the end of the Ice Age.

I actually feel Neanderthalic after a couple of beers.

My brows are thickly padded by bone. My arms and legs are shorter than most men my size. My torso is long. Thankfully I'm not hairy. I detest hirsuteness in a man and avoid bearded women.

I guess that makes me a race traitor.

Go Neanderthals Go.
