back-trackin'
Ahem.
August 27, 2009: Light-blue metal plate within intersection of Sewall's Point Road and A1A/SE Ocean Boulevard, Sewall's Point between the Crary and Lyons Bridges; plus two black-painted small metal ribbon-type clasps, flattened, one on Crary Bridge walkway and other at intersecton Sewall's Point Road and A1A. Two small pieces of brown beer-botle glass on west access island below Lyons Bridge, occasioning discard into trash receptacle and rest at picnic table. Green glass pieces along south shoreline remained in water as observed during previous visits and were picked up to toss in trash receptacle. Short, hard once-bags of cement lie intact or broken along the water line, resembling tombstones.
One lone soccer ball and a golf ball lay near mangrove cluster. Ospreys with other young birds scoped out seeds and other goodies in backpack. Some sprinkles of rain fell earlier in the afternoon, followed sunny and bright skies -- a change from a morning of overcast, cloudy conditions. Small pieces of clear bottle-glass also remained where previously encountered during walk to/from west island minipark area beneath the Lyons Bridge. Brown beer-bottle glass also found broken on rocks beside bridge support structure nearby non-grabbable part of same bottle visible between some other rocks.
A 'jack-of-all-trades' heavy-metal pice of equipment was protected beneath the Lyons Bridge yet seemed out-of-place where nearby some feces lay in the sand that appeared to be dog droppings, as focus or just more confusion for hurricane survivors. Rainshowers fell during the late afternoon. while I was making notes from newspapers-of-the-past-months at different picnic table locations on the island. Loud smackdown 'bang' from thunderclouds overhead after return from west island to Kcc.
Green Rolling Rock beer bottle in field. Tiny bleached true crab carapace about one inch diameter again sighted and packed out of the park. Oyster shells with ultra-thick layers lay strewn about, one with concave depression resembling a small food-mortar to grind grain; plus one corn-cob without kernels. Duh.
8/28/2009: Soaking in the vinyl cool-pool beneath the shade of Kcc trees, a later afternoon thunderstorm dumped rain upon northeast Stuart, FL, with wind blowing first north then south within a time-interval change of minutes. Long green seed pods are forming in the overhead tree growing feathery leaf-cover beside the condo unit; one long brown pod still hanging. The spectre of worms and lizards eating each others' tails, then regenerating, was not an easy thought-pattern to mentally disperse.
8/29/2009: Thunder rumbles for hours, that are heard to be the natural precursors to modern explosive fireworks displays and other controlled atmospheric phenomena, with continuous lightning visible from afar.

a multipolitical walk along SE Ocean Boulevard
September 2, 2009:
The Stuart News obligingly published a notice describing the Martin Memorial Hospital's Auxiliary Book Fair, which was found to be open-for-business within the hospital itself, after brief questions to personnel asking whether it was open to the public or not. That the bacteria-count of potential book-buyers could be checked as they browsed is most probably one actual rationale to set up the book sale. The walk was an easy one to Hospital Avenue from Kcc, with multiple items to keep attention along the way, including the sight of a white car sitting in the Ocean East Mall parking lot that held a "Virginia Tech' license plate.
Various small metal items continued their flash and potential danger discarded in the bike lane; a yellow plasticene fishing lure six+inches long was lying on the Krueger Creek walkway wall, with three sets of rusting triple-hooks on the fish-shaped lure, north side SE Ocean Boulevard. Walking along Osceola Street from Palm Beach Road north towards Hospital Avenue was also an easy bypass of the St. Mary's Thrift Shop since birthday purchase was one purpose of the sale attendance. The Book Fair was accessible through the main lobby of the hospital, through one hallway and down a short set of steps into a recessed room filled with books, gifts and miscellaneous gadgets, as advertised. First, though, a small Starbucks bottle was removed from its placement wedged between two tree limbs alongside one of the hospital parking lots and tossed into nearby trash container.
After perusing the selection and choosing an appetizer cookbook to purchase for a close relative, the many red exit signs of the ground-floor facility were necessarily reconnoitered after payment because the main lobby was initially too crowded to negotiate exit (including mothers with small infants). At one point in the hallway, I faced one corner directly as if the dunce while worried hospital personnel attempted to re-conduct me towards an appropriate exit. Leaving the hospital the same way entered after the crowd cleared out, on Hospital Avenue, I decided to walk all the way to SE Ocean Boulevard and discovered a thick swath of dropped berries and a few acorns from trees in the St. Mary's churchyard -- paradoxically enough, while lawnworkers in an adjacent property operated a very noisy leafblower. The many small berries were in fact a slippery sidewalk hazard in front of St. Mary's Church, and a small pile of them were toed together with a foot, picked up and removed from the corner (placed into a plastic bag for all those observant small creatures too timid to access the bounty).
During the walk to the Book Fair, a small green coconut had already been removed from the sidewalk beneath its parent tree and carried away from dried brown and lifeless predecessors, to be tossed creekside at Krueger Creek, north side SE Ocean Boulevard. During the return walk from the Book Fair, the aforementioned yellow lure (resembling some kind of deadly faux banana) was removed and placed in a trash receptacle within the nearby creekside minipark, where much of the bagful of berries was scattered at water's edge and on grass for wading (AND waiting) birds and other aquatic creatures. A brief rest at Hospital Park's pond had been also another brown/broken Budweiser glass-bottle pick-up, to be bagged and tossed into the minipark trash can with the lure; a rusting metal rod separated from others used as transplant-tree-stakes, about a foot long, was removed from the intersection of Palm Beach Road and SE Ocean Boulevard, then set in some gravel under some private-property palm trees at the northeast corner.
Many dragonflies were hovering by Monterey Commons, some accompanying me a short distance along Monterey Road and KTR. The mushrooms were decimated by yardwork; an occasional berry was tossed to tiny/small lizards, various birds and dragonflies as well as to fish in the slough at the entrance/exit to Kcc from KTR while raindrops fell.

'Nursing Center faces wrongful death lawsuit'
The 1/15/2009 issue of the Stuart News describes "Palm City Nursing and Rehab Center...2007 death of Palm City resident Reynold Sousa, a Korean War veteran who for 20 years worked as a landscaper at First NAtional Bank & Trust. ..."
Prior to this incident local schoolchildren were working on a project to collect memoirs from war veterans residing in this Martin County, FL, region and were heard to be quit insistent.
The rooftop of a Palm City (FL) condo complex not a long time ago was damaged during a direct lightning-bolt hit, as shown within Palm Beach TV news broadcast at that time.

ce appelation tres differente
Find the sheaf bug.
The Stuart News dated 4/19/2009 gives us, 'Bagworms are occasional Florida garden pests' from Carol Cloud Bailey, 'The Yard Doc'. I prefer the term 'sheaf bug' because the bagworms appear here in Kcc after the grass is cut, crawling over and among the oozing blades of grass, and the little catepillar inside the 'sheaf' peaks out to reconnoiter. I have captured a few views from the little vinyl cool pool; they behave to some extent in a similar way to hermit crabs but have the one-upsmanship of the self-made 'bag". The bugs as a general orientation seek out iron and can be found with bags attached to screening and near other wiring, as well as on stucco and cut wood. The bags are also abandoned and have a simlar appearance to cut-grass 'shake' that is spun-off from lawn-mowers and adheres to walls and other structures.
As anyone who as seen a split caterpillar can divine, the bag protects them from overt handling and manipulation. Little moths appear, just as 'The Yard Doc' says. Dousing them with pesticides seems sacreligious.

what happened now?
Local and national mass media have been quick to describe the death of a short-stature young woman at Yale University and the suspect surnamed 'Clark'. In my hometown of Bradford, PA, the outlying township features a 'Clark Lane' and Clarks were invariably athletes. When a Clark crashed into an Oakland woman years ago in his car and she died, the 'Clark Bar' (a candy bar invariably seen in movie theatres) was lost for the family and he the driver was convicted of a negligence crime and sent into San Quentin, CA, to do prison time.
The 1/17/2009 issue of the Palm Beach Post (FL) newspaper describes, 'Scooter rider hit by car not buying driver's explanation', "...50+ years of driving...never stopped...77-year old seasonal resident...grandmother of eight and cancer survivor...living Hunters Run subdivision...hit Matthew Clark, 25...riding along Congress Avenue...". Bradford, PA, has a 'Congress Street' located within city limits.
Now a younger Clark is the suspect in a different kind of female death, the victim said to be strangled and stuffed into a wall. We can suspect that 'a laboratory technician in Yale' as a word combination is also code for sentiments about 'a way' to spring Clark from prison in CA, where at least once the prison population was sufficiently bonded to perform a rock concert (the word 'jail' is pronounced with a soft or silent 'j' in some language, resembling the pronunciation of the word 'Yale'). A music group calling themselves 'The Clarks' have also banded together to perform in Pittsburgh, PA, environs.
Which is background enough to relay an account of today's almost-hit encounter: While walking from Kcc along SE Ocean Boulevard southside towards Ocean East Mall, two young men riding bicycles approached from the opposite direction moving east, one on the sidewalk and the other in the bicycle lane as a stream of traffic also approached the Crary Bridge over the St. Lucie River. This meant that the only choice for a pedestrian -- only me -- was to walk at the rough-edge of the sidewalk near the curb between the bikers; the one in the bike lane then elected to join his fellow on the sidewalk which put me still at the curb but nearby then-empty bike lane.
The serious expressions of their faces said a lot. The outside-edge of the sidewalk is artistically rough as a sort of concrete basket-weave pattern that affords a good grip on the pavement at the curve of the roadway. They had to propel themselves alongside the heavy-metal barrier between scrublands private property and sidewalk without slaying me, and succeeded.
As previously reported, a middle-aged Japanese woman for some reason died in the region within the past few years after her daughter and I trashed a storm-weakened metal handrail beside some steps leading into/from Cedar Pointe Plaza, also nearby a former Japanese restaurant (that was two hurricanes plus Tropical Storm Fay). The character of the restaurant has also changed, from solely Japanese to Japanese-Thai. I suppose it was easy for mobsters to blame them for the crumpled handrail, but in reality I already had a previous, similar experience in a supermarket parking lot in San Francisco, CA, near the University of San Francisco when I alone ripped off a metal entry/exit gate which had rusted hinges.
"To keep the peace" -- a favorite telephone-terrorism phrase oft used to demand specific actions from those deemed miscreant -- I was almost run down today or was almost horribly ground-up between relentlessly-moving metal-frame vehicles?

Since posting the little vignette about bumping the school boy with a pack of toilet paper from the supermarket, Walgreens Sunday newsprint ads have featured an immediate return of their occasional 'bath tissue' coupon, two weeks in a row.
For those who immediately take up by-mail offer to have a 'free' telephone, beware -- that might be the beginning of the end of a lifestyle if recipient already has a telephone but takes the offer anyway. In other words, "this is only a test" might mean that the 'free' telephone should be dumped at a local Salvation Army or other charity if social pressure intensifies.

wow it's back
o August 20, 2009: The brown manila envelope has returned to the Kcc mailbox, and my father carried it into the condo the second time within a few days. Knowing that the stamp company routinely sends stamps 'on approval' which must be returned to the company, a 'New Poll' entry was made at http://www.topix.net/ that asks a list of questions about the stamp company's operational methods. This time I dated and dumped the envelope into the Ocean East Mall mailbox receptacle as originally planned.
This learned after return from a trip to the Blake library, a stop made only because a lawn worker was busily and noisily clearing excess leaf cover from the Eagle's Nest minipark, where I hoped to sit in the shade at the picnic table and make some more notes from some past issues of the Stuart News. Waiting in the Blake Library I read the Sunday issue of the Palm Beach Post, then walked across the new four-lane plus center 'loggerhead' area to sit in the minipark. The usual biker, walker and driver crowd passed through and by while I made notes from a January 2009 issue of the Hometown News that described 'police report' incidents which included the name of a local man whose name ('Hoskinson') was very similar to the name of a young man recently reported as "shot" ('Hutchinson') within close vicinity to that very neighborhood zone. [Also within past months a prominent Stuart News story described bestiality accusations made against a man claimed to have had sex with a horse.]
A torn AA battery was found alongside the curb near the minipark; a length of rusting heavy-duty hanger-wire was coiled in the middle of SE Monterey Road between minipark and library as if it was some kind of hot-plate project, and I was a close-call from being hit by a car turning onto the new road after again sighting the 'man-and-the-little-black-truck'. More small automotive clips and screw-type items were found and kicked from the bicycle lane.
o August 21, 2009: A return trip to the minipark was initially a bit crowded with a few young men conferring about the recent death in the shade of the small but well-landscaped local haven. I made some photos of the cement slab picnic-table support because some kind of saying was carved in it, and the bench where I had sat the previous day appeared to be altered with some kind of brute force movement. The Eagle's Nest minipark was rife with small red ants that day, and the young men were glad to move elsewhere; the ants crawled on the skin of my legs and bit me when I resisted, then were flicked off using fingernails while sitting in the shade which for some reason guaranteed their attention (while sitting in the full sunlight would guarantee a painful sunburn).
A thunderstorm was happening elsewhere in the west, while Stuart remaind clear and sunny.
While returning to Kcc along KTR, a small snake was seen in the bushes at the corner sidewalk that runs a short distance along KTR from Monterey Road, said serpent resembling the snake previously seen at the entrance-walk to the west island beneath the Lyons Bridge (and snakeskin seen a day earlier remained beneath a bush nearby). This snake appeared to be immobile and 'bent'/pinched in a peculiar way near its anal/tail area; tail-shedding lizards were all around the snake, and only a few ants gained access to the stupified body of the small serpent. Another, slightly bigger snakeskin was lying on the roadway within Kcc near one of the complex's swimpools within closest proximity to the KTR entry/exit.
A 'flock' of dragonflies hovered over and around me as I walked along KTR, and a pair of eagles was testing more dead tree-limbs that might bring another total dead tree falling across the slough waters. Many large white mushrooms were growing in a business-premises sidewalk-side yard near Monterey Commons, and for the second time one was lying on the sidewalk (to take?). As I entered Kcc, the same black fly encountered on the trail alongside the retention pond focused continuous attention my way, and again was necessarily swatted. A large 'spray' of blood-red flowers was lying in the grass near the boundary fence with Vista Pines condo complex, resembling some kind of squid or octopus with flowery suckers.

o August 18, 2009: More literature than bargained for from a popular stamp-sales company, so off to the Ocean East Mall postal container to return the brown envelope without opening it, "return to sender" carefully printed on the front with the date. However, why not take the packet directly to the USPO during such a pleasant day, less the extra load for the carrier who already had delivered it to the condo address? Walking through and bypassing the mall outside postal-bin, note was made of a heavily rusted large squarish trash container located behind the Martin County Administrative Building, yet standing and in use beside a new one, just across the roadway from Walgreens' rear wall.
Proceeding in the usual way across Monterey Road and onto 10th Street via a newly-reconstructed wooden footbridge over a sometimes water-filled slough, more note was made of a slender black, battered metal rod about nine inches long with a screw hole in the middle, lying in the cross-street entry/exitway road at Parkway Avenue between Palm Beach Road and a school zone, nearby a newly-renovated power plant installation. A cracked concrete ground support slab was painted yellow at a bus bench area near Forest Lane; it was the crack that was outlined with yellow paint, as a caution and reminder to step carefully. The Pine School is located among addresses including a church and facilities for the aged.
The previously observed small black truck was found parked in a resident yard beside a small house alongside 10th Street; a small puddle of automotive fluid was visible in the yet-new asphalt of Taylor's convenience store. Beginner-style screened porches evident among the 10th Street homes are attached to longhouse-style cement-block dwellings.
After dumping the brown envelope into a bin within the interior of the USPO on Johnson Street, a side street led to Colorado Street past the pond where a few clawed (!?) turtles one large and others small surfaced to accept some sunflower seeds during a rest stop to sit on one of the convenient wooden benches, beside some white birds with extremely long curved orange beaks.
A nasty-looking orange stingered fly lay on the sidewalk near the intersection with Colorado Street, easily snatched up with grip upon wing and tossed into oxygen-bearing grass.
The Colorado Street roadway leading over a narrow, channeled creekbed showed a small mammal pelt that appeared to be that of a young raccoon and was removed from the busy street then placed in the corner section of a concrete/metal railing beside the sidewalk, at a grassy/bushy property line area overlooking that-day's rivulet of water moving from one branch of the St. Lucie River to the other through the city environs. Very noisy insect vibes were evident throughout the entire walk all along 10th, Florida and Johnson Streets; during the brief rest at the USPO pond; and northward on Colorado Street to Ocean Boulevard at intersection dubbed 'Confusion Corner'. There is a SafeSpace Thrift Shoppe addressed on Colorado Street that has the air of an old-fashioned parlor.
After another brief rest on a bench in Memorial Park, Ocean Boulevard (across the street from Wachovia Bank), small (about two inches long) heavy-metal bars found weeks ago were placed in a standing trash can there (one automotive clip-type, broken; the other with the appearance and consistency of heavy magnetic tape). Building progress continues beside 'old' middle school that has plants growing through its front retaining wall, all windows closed-curtained prior to the beginning of the new school year very soon.

400-Pound Python Delilah Seized From Florida Home
400-Pound Python Delilah Seized From Florida Home
Maybe this is a nondocumented/nonlicensed experiment to encourage the serpent to grow legs...and to think I subsist some mornings on one English muffin maybe with jam and/or peanut butter.

Resting your heart can be diagnosed as "playing dead" or feigning death; it can also be diagnosed as a near-death experience, since individuals needing deep, necessary sleep can be snuffed out using various surprise or stimulation techniques.

This article demonstrates the tendency of regional populations to make use of the word 'oracle' whenever my efforts to describe an oracle-bead artifact (located in Degolia, northwest PA) do surface in some way. One of the initial examples of such word use in the past has been the initiation and failure of 'The Oracle' publication in San Francisco, CA, near Golden Gate Park.

A lesson from the local press
Florida's Stuart News dated 1/13/2009 presents two contrasting articles in the 'Sports' section.
Page C2 with photo describes 'Big catch for little angler', "...age nine...hauling in huge tarpon all by himself...in the Indian River, near the Fort Pierce Inlet in the early evening...estimated to weigh more than 150 pounds and measured more than seven feet in length".
Page C6 tells us 'Youngster reels in trophy haul at Jr. Teen Anglers tournament', where "...at Harbour Pointe Park in Fort Pierce...a total of 26...between ages five and eleven gathered for the free tournament...two-pound mother-in-law fish...".

Seed-droppers are a temptation and the plants sprout easily in sunny areas. This story might describe a return shipment from the U.S..

a different kind of code-talking
The Stuart News dated 1/28/2009 presents an article with a different kind of code-talking:
'ARC receives a $10,000 grant', "...Tau grant from Allegheny Franciscan Ministries to fund the Alternative Behavioral Learning Environment program...people with developmental disabilities...improving overall health status of individuals...AFM, Inc. is a nonprofit organization...". Encoded within this jargon is the possibility that the money can be used to set up and install solar-power fans to cool cars/trucks so that any person opting to remain in a vehicle -- especially small children with limited social skills facing crowded shopping malls -- will not be subjected to high-temperature death during habitat observation/learning time within a parked vehicle.
Who doesn't remember curiousity positively indulged while sitting alone or with siblings in a parked car, or getting some needed sleep, with the windows open while parents shopped? In northern climates, summertime childhoods always included such learning time. In sub/tropical environments (where the competition can be fierce), solar-powered fans can guarantee that heat-related disabilities will be prevented where children are safer outside or preferential about sallies into commercial malls and plazas (etc.), and locked vehicle doors/windows are also a safety option. The family dog or other creature-companion can also rest assured that s/he will not be baked or boiled-in-their-own-secretions alive within an automotive vehicle.
Who will give AFM a call about this issue?
