Ain't Showed Me Nothing............

Who wants to speak this morning?  ' I do I do'......... Says Cadbury................ as he laughs......... thank God for laughter the saving grace........ in retrospect........

What shall we talk about?  'Well I don't know?'  originally  I was thinking about speaking up about discrimination,  Have you ever experienced it?

 'Not much, but I think I got a dose the other day and to tell your the truth I did not really care for it , not in the slightest really'

What was it over?   'Oh feeling I was discriminated against because I was a big fat old gringo in a third world country trying to get some mother fucking blood pressure pills that have in essence already been pre  paid for in full............I don't think I really want to elaborate at this time' I might be found guilty of something and incarcerated for libel.......... or something equally as strange in paradise.

'Oh ok.'

'So what were you dreaming about then?'

 ' Well I was back on Big Pine and sleeping in a lovely   big green dumpster.. it was an experiment you see?  The idea was to sprinkle a powdering of  yeast in  the filthy empty  dumpster bin and sleep in there with cuts on your body and , well you know see what pops up in the course of things, you know a surprise of sorts................ of course then   the rats came and jumped in the bin on top of the cardboard that you were so comfortable under rudely awakening you.....  I had left my old Burgundy work truck parked up on the Bike Path your see? ... the next day I was walking without a care in the morning sunshine,

towards the truck , I was surprised to see there was not a ticket for illegal parking on the wind screen , I  ran into my friend Kelly walking the other direction from the light , anyway  she wanted to borrow the truck to go  do  something or another  important.. to her.... not me mind you.... but important to her,  well I was hesitant to lend her the truck because it had really bad brakes I had driven it for years and years like that and never had an accident but you always had to look way ahead and of course pray or hope no  one pulled out directly in front of you the steering was superb   , Plus it was  empty of gasoline... so I offered to drive her but I had a broken   key and was trying to make my way up to the hardware store on foot.. to try and have one made out of the pieces...... and wondering if she had $2.00 for gas....  it was like a fancy meeting you here kind of arrangement....'        Both Vagabonding as it were........  with our various needs and desires.....in tow.

So anyway back to this having been discriminated against scenario....  ' Yes it reminded me of a saying a friend of mine who had grown up in the Appalachians would say from time to time in regard to people  or persons or behavior that he was much less then fond of... ,  or a shitty person or a shitty deal......

' Oh what was that?'

It was like so and so.........." AIN'T  SHOWED ME NOTHING" about a person, place or thing..... you know the action words..............

Of course one could say......   'Says Who?'

Yes, I see what you are saying...........

"Ain't Showed Me Nothing".....................

Different Languages We Speak.

I don't know.

Neither does Cadbury.

Cadbury was dreaming about Walt Disney and a Green Gate...........[;;;;;;;

They made him wash his hands... after closing the gate... best he could figure was because of all the supposed germs.

He went by a sign on the paved desert road heading north out of Southern Arizona there on his right was an old plywood Sandwich sign...  that said  ' Who Knows Car Wash' .....catchy name he thought.   He was remembering his first loves panties..........

Cadbury was washing the  old shiny metal flake  emerald  green sedan for $5.00 dollars.. it was a four door Pontiac, all he had was a cheap garden hose it was old brittle and cracking and had some pin holes in it that were spraying and had a   nozzle on the end with a screwed up handle... one of those cheap o dollar store ones plus he had  a bucket of soapy water and a chamois ... the hose just kept running and water was precious so he kinked the hose and shoved it under the tire in the dirt... he had a hard time reaching  the center of the cars roof.. he was not quite tall enough... a small step ladder or milk crate to stand up  on would be helpful.

Cadbury was thinking...... Have you ever noticed how Ball games touch people off emotionally...  why is that?

Hoo Rah... Hoo Rah......... maybe it is something to do with  different languages we speak.

The Bigger Show..................

Why Insult The Cynic?

Cadbury walked into Bougainvillea Liquors on County Road on Big Pine Key... just to his immediate left was a bulletin board............

On the bulletin board was a photo of a 1958 Chris Craft for sale.... it had a Caterpillar Diesel engine in it.

Cadbury left and thought about it a while... he went back into the Liquor store later that day and made an inquiry  of Mrs. Holmes.... She and her Husband and son Billy and his wife Susan owned and ran the Store.

Susan was an eye full.... a good looker.... Penthouse material, and sold rum.

Mrs. Holmes suggested Cadbury go have a look at the Boat.... which he did.

He came back and ask Mrs. Holmes.... how much  money do you want for the boat?

Her replay came... you can have it for free.......... oh... but I would like $200.00 for the big new battery... that is in it.

In a nutshell Cadbury wound up cleaning up the boat and painting the down below in the cabin and Sold it to Victor and Carmen... a Cuban Fisherman and his wife........ the mother of Cadbury's Children had made the cutest little curtains in the world for the Cabin Windows and fresh cushion covers ... that and the free Latex paint Cadbury had found along the side of the road, he was certain had triggered the  sale...

So off the old Chris Craft   went away from the sea wall.

Later Mr. Holmes passed away... Sue got divorced from Billy...  Cadbury saw Billy up by the Laundromat and Billy said he had Cancer... Cadbury said... sorry to hear... Billy's  response is etched in Cadburys mind forever.... Billy said      "Cancers Gotta Eat Too"

Cadbury would see Mrs. Holmes from time to time in passing up at the Shopping plaza and always say Hello.

He never heard any more about Billy or Sue.

Cadbury thought to himself this morning all those years later.... who was it said?

 "Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we practice to deceive"

and........."Blessed are the pure of heart"

He wondered about people that maybe just maybe   are in this World that have never know any Joy...

and then Cadbury reasoned the question...........     Why Insult The Cynic?

The Great Wall Of China, Don't look now World!

Building the Great Wall Of China, Can you imagine the Effort? why Cadbury is exhausted just thinking about it.

Donny Trumps Wall,

Have you ever seen the size of the Texas /Mexico border ? laid eyes on it?......... its Huge....... Enormous.... ENORME....... for my Spanish speaking friends........  a desolate, forlorn, uninhabited, inhospitable place, the feasibility of building an actual physical wall...  probably approaches Lunacy....  and sheer madness.

Therefore Cadbury is doubtful.... very doubtful.... in fact you could call him a doubting Thomas... even.....
That such a fallacy  or imagining  could ever even be built.

'Don't Look Now World'  as sung by Barbara Streisand in my dreams...........

Mr. Henry Ford, please ........... Imagine having a birthday party in a private jet built on your assembly  line idea, you might have to duck to get in or hit your head on the ceiling complete with balloons and streamers and shiny pointy hats and noise makers...with  nose bleeds  from powder and everything.............and  the soiling  of the crushed velour  seats..... oops!  do you have a damp towel? Look what you did! Naughty Naughty............

You do know Madonna (Louise Ciccone)  is a decade older then Gwen Stefani don't you? She is holding up well but I don't think she is a natural blonde.... either of them for that matter.

I was looking at those soft doe eyes of Ms. Stefani... thinking of words..............

Like Consumed and Fragility and baying wolves at her door.......... it must be hard to grow old gracefully with  what is behind those eyes, all that vulnerability ........... among'st beauty.

Crossing  over the Great Wall Of China........up you go over the top.........with  a slap on the ass, atta girl.....

A coin fell out of her jean pocket........ and laid there for two millennia of Church History........

Growing old gracefully without a sound....... one day someone found it and picked it up.

The Great Wall Of China, Don't look Now World!
