Well, May

So.

It is May here, and do you know what? Half way through we get

 

Snow?      SNOW?

To quote Mr. Peavey, "well now, I wouldn’t say that"


 It was just a little snow.

Just stuff post

NO S-M-O-K-I-N-G! NO SMOKING! 

 Yup it is Twilight Zone day once again.

Oh, I get it, it's your birthday! that must be it! you can't eat hamburgers with peanut butter all the time, right?

If you saw the movie, you would get it.

On another note;

Some how, 

"non-judgmental life coach, please refrain from imposing white, eurocentric perspectives and  implied beliefs, consciously or subconsciously, in the pre-eminence of European culture on my multi-cultured, rainbow inclusive identifying belief system, or I will have to shelter in my safe place over your views on vaping in the gender neutral relief station"

is not the same as 

"Teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules, cuz everybody knows that smokin ain't allowed in school. 

Smokin in the Boys room

Smokin in the Boys room..."

Tombs, travel and trouble, the adventures of Lawrence Griswold

So,
Poking around the internet, I came across this guy:
Lawrence T. K. Griswold, Jungle Explorer, Adventurer.

In the forward of his book, Tombs, travel and trouble

http://www.amazon.com/Tombs-travel-trouble-Lawrence-Griswold/dp/B00085UOS0

he wrote:

'In fact most of the time I was either scared to death, too busy to think about it all, or just damned annoyed. Adventures, in retrospect are pieces of extremely bad luck that missed a fatal ending. A set of circumstances starts a chain of consequences. If you are in the immediate vicinity the chances are you are about to undergo an adventure. If it turns out fatally for your side, it's a tragedy. If it turns out fatally for the other side or with nobody hurt at all, it's a comedy. One or the other, tragedy or comedy - it's never adventure when it's going on!'

In 1935 he was a passenger on The EMPRESS OF ASIA, under the command of Captain A. V. R. Lovegrove.

They concluded a Pacific crossing upon reaching Vancouver on June 21st, 1935. On this crossing Hawaii was called upon prior to reaching Victoria. Over 100 passengers embarked at Honolulu. The ship reported an uneventful passage. Cargo included mail and a large consignment of general freight.

Lawrence Griswold, however, had in "general freight" boxes of live white monkeys and
cobra snakes for zoological institutions in New York and Washington.

Try getting a box of cobras and another of monkeys, of any color, on a ship today.

In fact, today you would get Samuel Jackson beefing about "Snakes on a Boat"

Later, while exploring South America, he noted

"When I got clear [of the jungle] there wasn't a man in sight. As I stood looking for one of the foremen, another of the mestizos broke out of the forest to my left
about thirty feet away. Dressed only in cotton pants he carried his
machete threateningly and his expression was murderous. He loped toward
me, his body bent slightly forward and the long machete swinging easily
from his right hand.

Everything suddenly seemed perfectly simple.
I stood my ground, raised the revolver and shot him."

Sounds like I think I have heard this before.
