The Day of the Dead procession is this Sunday evening here in Tucson. People, including us, write down the names of people and pets we have lost on pieces of paper. All the 'prayers' are then put in a giant wooden cauldon, hoisted up into the air about 100 ft. and set on fire with some other pyrotechnics going on. Very moving. A lot of the people have lost loved ones and pets very recently, so it is very cathartic. I'll email you and show you the prayer form you can print off of their site. I would be honored to add the Admirals name to it along with our lost but not forgotten people and pets. http://allsoulsprocession.org/ This site has some good images under the View tab.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

You did that when my father passed. I was honored them and I am honored now. Thank you my friend.
The honor is mine. I've got your back.
