My Rantings (a journal of thoughts): December 2016

A bit of a disclaimer

This is only the beginning, i'll get a more comprehensive Profile as time allows. what is more important is the content of the posts, not the ego fulfilling profile---at least for now

I have been stumbling over this part of my profile a while. The question is what will this blog to present to me and all of my readers? The simple answer is politics and opinions o the idiocy that surounds it.

I follow the news in general and politics in particular and have some strong feelings that I want to put out there for every one to read and comment on. I have an out look in life that is rather simple, but I think kind of sophisticated too. My language will not be as multi syllabic as some, nor will my insights be as complicated as others. I am a simple person and have simple thoughts, yet I think sometimes simplicity is a more elegant, and perhaps better, way to to accomplish things.

With this blog I want talk about matters with you and other readers. Perhaps we can see issues in ways that the Know-It-Alls will not. Or maybe we can just entertain ourselves with animated discussion.

I will write about something that has caught my attention---spouting my thoughts and hope others will feel motivated to reply. Sometimes I’ll merely state my take on a subject and throw it out there without trying to prove my point with some one else's words. Other times, if I can find a quote that fits my way of thinking, I’ll use some one else’s opinion.

Here are some pics I have taken lately

So we get a massive up load of pictures:

This is a composite of a picture of Mom and some snow I got a picture of last year. The snow is the background.

Nova, the new princess of the house.

We had a celebration for my mother the other day. Here is a picture of the Servanthood House at the Cathedral of all Souls.

This one turned out to be a cider. I thought it was a beer before tasting it. SUPRIZE!!!

I'm gonna work this one a little, but I wanted to post it now. I think I'll photoshop the the background out and just have her pretty profile.

The Princess Nova

The Langunita Dog. I just got this really nice lens and had to see what it could do. The dog is about the size of a quarter!

So we get a massive up load of pictures

Lagunitas the Down Low Ale

Now this is a drinkable beer/ale. I guess it is a pale ale, (that is fun to say, Pale Ale, c’mon admit it) These beers and ales have been coming to our region lately, there are a bunch of different ones out there but this is the one I am looking at (read drinking) tonight.

So far, I have enjoyed all of the Lagunitas brews I have tried, even IPAs, though I am not much of an Imperil Pale Ale type of guy. At any rate, this one The DownLow Ale is a nice drinking beer. It looks fine with a clear golden(amber?) cast. It pours nicely with a controllable foam.

The taste is smooth with only a hint of hops at the end. I could drink this one all night long. Maybe I will.

So be prepared for some interesting pictures!

The last image is one that I sort of bumped into. I wanted to see what would happen if i bounced the light off of the red back ground. What do you think?

As always, your input is appreciated, so on off and let me know if this is a good picture!
