Injunction not forthcoming. Score one for Homeless friends.

Year and more gone by now. 
City of tent shelters 
At plot of land beside 
VIA TRAIN STATION. 
weber and Victoria streets. 
And so cold. 
They are heroic. 
NOT lazy or shiftless. 
Some are ill, mental issues. 
Cascading from exposure, shame 
Boredom and blame. 
But their vocation latterly 
Has been survival. 
Eeking out some community. 
Even some fun. 
Water, sanitation, light, heat. 
Respect, (you hear me 
Respect.) 
Empathy 
A listening ear 
A fair minded media 
A High Court with a heart 
Relating to the common people. 
They got it, oh yeah. 
Homeless score One. 
High posted bullies…ZERO. 
Charter of Rights argued. 
And legal costs to boot. 
Great morning Saturday, January 28th 
Newspaper happy for a change. Eh?

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

Harp lesson for young Dante, age eleven.

This will help get you going young man. Have fun. Believe that undoubtedly you are getting the techniques. And pleasing some listeners. Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge. Robert Service poem https://internetpoem.com/robert-service/the-song-of-the-mout-poem/ Adam Gussow, good teaching, bluesy stuff. “Sloppy” stye is needed.
