He went out to my van and fiddled a might.

Rewired the console and added a light.

A switch and a viewscreen, a diode and more.

With a waive of his hand it rose from the floor.

….It turned on a dime and went in through the door.

It floated and wobbled and went to explore

Upstairs and downstairs - indeed every floor.

It scanned and it searched, but what could it see?

Was it looking for someone?

Was that someone me?!

sounds like our sweeper bot - Eufie =;-))

But it's usually looking for rug fringe

With a click of his heels he rose in the night

Shouting behind him, "Good luck with your plight!"

"Those things that I gave you, they have them too"

"What they don't have is your grok of the woo!"

You, "John Galt" (I finally clued in, your pseudonym is from Atlas Shrugged!), never disappoint with your succinct cleverness. And today, with your masterful delightful addition to Clif's masterful delight! Merry merry to you & yours, & esp to your 100 wooded acres!

Thank you!

Merry Christmas!

I sometimes regret the choice to call myself John Galt. I used to use it for burner phones. It's not an uncommon pseudonym.

Clif, in an earlier podcast, mentioned that he wasn't into music; it showed in his total lack of meter; there you beat him hands down, JG. Gut Jul!

I miss having small children to read Dr. Seuss to.

Yes, Teddy G. knew his music. I was going to suggest your going to a children's library and reading to them, but then I thought, well, no, they might want you to wear a dress and makeup.

Odd, because he has often posted song videos pertinent to his posts, & relative to our times & various genres. Not to mention, how do go through the 50's, 60's & 70's as a boy-teen-young man flooded with so much good music & not be into it.

Yes, I know much of what we listened to was brought to us by the clown club & Tavistock as mind-kontrol & social engineering- but it could be another of their weapons we turn back on them., as we have the internet, smart phones & social media. All meant as weapons against us, now being brought down with them.

Remember, TL, Clif was schlepped around Europe and other places as a kid so he probably had a different experience from us witnessing Elvis and the Beatles et al. (I'm a couple years older than he so I did have that experience as an American kid). While I really got into the Doors, the other L.A. bands didn't really interest me (a few Beach Boys singles); mostly English blues rock bands, Cream, Yardbirds, etc.

And don't forget the perhaps greatest band:

Pink Floyd yes of course. Some Greatful Dead druggies can't relate

yes - we can make our own music now

Never could get into the Dead, frankly. I did try, but, meh.

Expand full comment

I've been to a couple concerts with dead heads. I liked their roadies. They had so much cool stuff. "Yeah man, we have a machine shop!"

I agree, the music, meh.

All I want for Christmas is my zpt

My zpt, my zpt

If I could only have my zpt

I don't want to be greedy

and ask for two

one for the house

and one for you

Before you go

Mr. Blue ET

I think I'll press my luck

and ask for three

One for the house

one for you

and one for the old RV!

So this is what’s up!!! Back at ya, bro.

Here we go:

’Twas the night of reflection, the Now in its glow,

Not a clock was ticking, just the rhythm of flow.

I sat with my tea, a quiet refrain,

As Cliff’s woo-like wisdom rang wild in my brain.

The screen hummed a cadence, the tone of his wit,

Each syllable sparking, a cosmic misfit.

His sandbox of woo, where the wild harmonics play,

Lit the threads of my musings, weaving the day.

From the kitchen’s soft warmth to the window’s pale light,

I felt the sun’s whisper, then a brother’s flight.

A car passed by, and I caught the faint tune,

Of laughter and loss under December’s new moon.

With each word, a layer, like strings on a harp,

The humor’s sharp edge, yet the feeling was stark.

A rhythm of joy in the thunder of tears,

A melody sung through the echoes of years.

Now weaving, now dancing, now spinning so free,

The words took on colors, a vivid decree.

Not just syllables spoken, but tones taking form,

As the flow of the day became the norm.

Oh, the marvel of marveling, the formless delight,

The edgeless reflection of what feels so right.

To sit with one’s self, to surf on this wave,

To laugh at the sandbox where the woo behaves.

Cliff’s rhythm remains, a steady backbeat,

While my own day’s light takes hold of its feet.

A tapestry woven, a shimmering chord,

Where humor and depth find love restored.

’Tis the gift of the Now, this song we all sing,

The dance of the light in its shimmering rings.

For what is this life but a sandbox of play?

Where each grain of sand holds the light of the day.

So here is my rhythm, my offering of cheer,

A reflection of love, where all light appears.

To Cliff, to the cosmos, to the sandbox of woo,

I offer this song as a gift back to you.

🙏🏼♊️🙏🏼
