Lee Shore

 'sup, went sailing on Red Herring.... 16 knot winds. This time I was well aware of the forecast and even chose these conditions, wishing to actually sail, not just motor. It had been a long time since I'd raised sail on Red Herring.

With the main up I breezed swiftly in the southerly winds heading southwest to Scotland island's lee shore from Avalon. Then a Ben goofy move, I kept trying to raise the main higher with one reefing line near the cunningham still in place, ripping the main near the top with the pressure and the wind. It was an old sail and now I'll have to try to get her fixed. 

Obviously in the lee shore of a small island you get a respite from the wind. I dropped the main after photographing the damage and raised for foresail and sailed back, motoring out of the lee shore area first. A pleasure to sail. Listened to Central Coast country music channel. It's beautiful this time of year on Pittwater harbour.

The Pope celebrates Catholic rite in Dili (my favorite word); working for a Sagittarius, the most philosophical of all the signs

 

Philosophical?

https://youtu.be/YSlXjrxqDOE?si=mCbBHVVY3FN0XnXE

So yeah, Dili, it's not just my favourite nonsensical word but somewhere the Pope can celebrate a Catholic rite. Dili East Timor. I tgrew a big party when I was fifteen, the only big party I ever threw. And tongue kissed a girl from East Timor on my couch. Smoochy smoochy.

Working for a Sagittarius once this week. Twice last week and twice next week. She's a lawyer.

Oh yeah Donald and Kamala sitting in a tree by the world trade centre, formerly plural.

Their Royal Highnesses Charles and Camilla visiting Sydney and Canberra next month

 

I shouldn't imagine their highnesses would be listening to NWA niggaz 4 life to get into the right frame of mind....

Issuing an apology to Kerry Packer

 

I recall when I was a bus driver at Burwood bus depot making some derisive comment about Kerry Packer. I now wish to withdraw those comments and issue an apology. After driving a taxi five years full time and then becoming a bus driver I have spouted plenty of talk and heard probably even more as a taxi driver. While I do not approve of gambling, I have to admit I once worked for some Israelis managing they [sic] database for they [sic] online gamblers, including many uber wealthy Russians. The files I managed were a treasure trove of information on all kinds of rich Russians and others. Probably a great way to plan robberies now that I think about it. I note Kerry Packer was good neighbours with Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and most likely was heartbroken by his foxy American girlfriend leaving him. I also went through this disillusionment with American girlfriends.

The main thing is around two years ago I went through a transitional phase of my life, retiring from full time driving to place my own gardening business as top priority, timewise. It was a big shift for me, alongside getting into the sailing community, most especially enrolling my kid(s) in sailing. As I went through these changes and tried to heal from the Shakespearean catastrophe of my immediate family's demise, the only family I knew, coming up as a kid. During this transformational period I was befriended by many wealthy and well to do people, most notably by one chap who is good friends with a major CEO such as folks like Mr Packer would rub shoulders with.

I had to put aside my blue collar prejudices and ignorance and accept that even billionaires like Kerry Packer are people with feelings and no-one likes to be mocked or bullied, least of all when they're feeling low.

Ok so having said that, either:

A) watch Dr Phil talk to bucking bull rider Cody Haysus...

or

B) watch George's drive:

In conclusion, I'm sure my First Australian brothers and sisters will not mind me re-appropriating their spirited and colorful expression: 'fuggen shluts' (and 'fugg off yer farken shluts') now and then as I react to various elements of humanity, and the various Easter bunnys.

Also worth noting the Spanish word for sand is arena.

Ian McKellen: won't let the Balrog pass, uncharitable to British Royals

 Why are the latter even still calling him?

You don't see Lachlan Murdoch calling this guy just so he can trash talk him later in the media.

Are you a Balrog? Don't try going through McKellen....

What a coincidence! I had a hankering on the M1 freeway between Newcastle and Sydney to listen to the hand jive song from Grease. I advise John not to get any ABC news channel or channel ten 'the project' on his shoes, and if he does by accident, wipe them on turf thoroughly and then on pavers and definitely don't walk around anywhere indoors he wouldn't want to smear his soles on, just saying!

So I was at a conference the other day, due to my interest in law. There was this Australian actor there that got absolutely lambasted in court for wearing stockings not around his neck while hanging from them. They were pretty bad taste for a guy though. I don't recall seeing any of this actor's work apart from vaguely remembering he was out there. But when you see him in those stockings in Ricky horror picture show you know he is a real thespian stage actor kind of guy who can pull absolutely any shit off. I would have absolute faith in this guy if I was a movie director.

It made me wonder about a movie character that works one day as a lawyer, another day as something else. Is on pause from working with the cops for a few months. Works two days or so a week as a psychiatrist. I mean it's possible to be someone like that. A practicing part time lawyer and a practicing part time psychiatrist. Then as a different plot in this movie, I'd have two middle aged men and one middle aged woman, thick as thieves, the three of them. Running an acting school, like for teen-agers and young adults. They'd plot a murder, the three of them, then execute it, against a random child. Then the two parties, the individual lawyer/shrink guy, and the three murderous thespians' paths would cross. That's my synopsis. That's the kind of movie I'd like to make! A psychological thriller.
