    Took this in Limon, CO last night...

    This rather large man was wearing a skirt or Irish Kelp...and carrying a staff...
    Looked like a character from Lord of the Rings or something...so I took thier photo...but did not come out as good as I thought....

    Don't know if they were wearing that for medical reasons, comfort or style or culture....just looked odd...

    Edit: It's a Kilt. Do you know why it's called a Kilt?:biggrin_2556: Because I Kilt the last man that called it a skirt.:biggrin_2559:

    Do you know why the Celtics wear Kilts? Because sheep can hear a zipper a mile away:biggrin_2559:

    That's your daily dose of Irish comedy.

    Ye, it just looked kind of odd....he was huge...so no one dared say anything....

    I can see where wearing a dress or skirt like garment would be much more comfortable and or practicle at times for all genders...but like most everything else in this country...everything seems to have been feminized...so males are ever more restricted to a smaller and smaller corner of fashion or clothing they can wear without being stigmatized...

    Today...I had to go inside of a scale house to show registration and other standard stuff in Colorado...

    While in there I started chatting with the DOT man...
    We chatted and chatted and chatted while they checked forms for validity...

    Then when he was done...he held on to my licence and said " I'm not trying to be brass or funny or anything, but what are you??, (I think he meant government designated ethnicity)...

    So i told them 'blck'....then I paused...cause he acted like he did not believe me...so I continued...'And a bit of Seminole Indian'....

    Then he was like 'ah ha!'....I knew it...I'm around alot of people, and you just (He did not want to offend, so he chose words carefully)...you just have a different deamenor, attitude and look...."

    All I did was stand there a smile...and think to myself 'you can say whatever ya want...as long as I don't get an infraction...

    I know he wanted to say 'you don't act 'black'...but to say so would have put them in an awkward position...so instead he just said I was 'different'....

    I don't act or behave like no one accept the ghostchildd....

    They almost seemed happy that I didn't 'act black'....

    Whatever...I don't know...

    Anyways...that's a true story that happened today...very nice funny dot man...

    Had many...but these are the only ones I could remember enough of to some what piece together in a understandable written format...

    1. I entered a bathroom...there was a tub filled with water...in it was a kitten...submerged in the tub...it looked dead...it was floating just beneath the surface face up....

    But then suddenly it started moving it's arm...but barely...so I knew it was alive...I grabbed it...didn't know what to do...I felt so so sorry for it for I knew it wasn't alive enough for me to help it all the way back...

    I set it on the wooden floor...suddenly it came to life even more, but now it have visible open fatal injuries...(will not describe)...

    But it was happy to be alive and out of the tub...I kept thinking to myself 'But your going to die'...but the kitten didn't care...it was just happy to be alive and enjoy whatever moments it had, and in whatever condition it was in....(almost makes me want to cry)....

    Second dream...

    2. There was a black man going around conning younger 'white' women into having romance with him...he would razzle and dazzle them...and they would all fall for it....

    I remember thinking...'how could they all fall for this guy?
    These women were smart in every other way...but seemed to fall head over heals for this guy...then he'd steal their innocence...and I remember feeling frustrated, perplexed, and mad that he would take advantage of them like that....

    Then as i was walking away...I opened a door to a room...(I was suddenly walking down a hallway with many doors)...and there was a black woman in there waiting for me....I quickly shut the door and went to the next...and there was another black woman laying on a bed, on her side, and barefoot...doing something odd, like getting herself prepared for me...

    She had large feet...and said 'Don't be looken at my feet...'

    In other words she knew some guys had a footfetish, but she couldn't understand why...and wasn't really into that...but her feet were the only things that made her attractive to me....

    Then the dream sequence merged into something else which is non translatable....



    I don't know what these dreams mean...just felt like sharing them...

    Oh ye?...cool....

    I had to go downtown...I mean smack dab in the middle of down town...a twisted mess of roads and nature lovers and industry all trying to co-habitate a small place...even my gps got lost...a nightmare in a truck...

    On a whole other tip...

    I took this photo in the Wyoming desert a few days ago...

    [​IMG]

    Was parked at a truck stop and felt like exploring...so I treked off into the dersert and ran upon this...I think it's a horse...or was...

    Just like in a movie or something...the desert holds so many secrets...if you dare ventrue a little across the fence...

    And U4EA....below is the photo of that gal who's photo I told you I'd upload...the one that caught my attention during the conversation...

    Their boyfriend and pet dog were waiting behind the fence...

    The sign says...'Full of love, out of gas'...

    I was a scker and ended up giving the gal $5.00...cause as I left the place...they positioned themself across the street to play on my conscious twice...

    I couldn't resist...it worked...they had such a nice smile...phony or not, it just kind of put me in a better mood for a while...
