Fish Naked

In the third floor clinic in the Wangenstein Building at the

university, a woman with Parkinson's is raising her foot a few

inches and slamming it down, over and over, into the pedal of

her wheelchair. It is clear the foot is doing it, not her.

She is

about 80, and sick, and in her sickness she spins the chair

around and topples a large oxygen cylinder onto its side, and it

rolls away across the waiting room corridor, snapping breathing

tubes loose and dragging them after it.

A man with spiky black hair who had been sitting near her goes

to help. It's clear he is a stranger, just another patient in the

waiting room. He is wearing a burnoose, like Little Steven, and

he has an aggressive air about him. If I saw him on the street, I

think I would avoid him.

He stops the gas tank from tripping nurses and patients and

drags it back to the woman in the chair. He mumbles to her

about getting fixed right up. She mumbles back, but beats him

on the wrist with her fist to tell him thank you.

He tries to reattach the oversized tank but it just doesn't match

up to the chair. A nurse arrives with a portable pack which loops

neatly over the back of the chair. The man kneels by the

woman, and says, “I'm right here if you need help.”

He stands and returns to his seat, the eyes in her shaking head

fixed upon him. When he sits I can read his t-shirt. It says FISH

NAKED.

Do not google fish naked. That was very disturbing.

Lmao

I was a nudist growing up in Northern California . Now I cover my skin and bones as a favor to others.. but let the youth be proud and go naked like I did.. One thing I’ve noticed during my times spent in cancer centers is that others are suffering much more than I at the moment . I go tri-monthly . Every time I’m grateful I’m as well as I m . Far from perfect but still kickin. Thank you for your writing...

Come on man .... we’ve seen your cacti photo shoot , you still got it in spades ... shames most of the rest of us yayahahahaya

in reply to Kaliber

I don’t know what “ it “ is ... but I do gave cactus photos .

Kaliber profile image
Kaliber in reply to

What “ it “ is ? ...... yayahahahaya

Well, just put me in that same photo instead of you and you will instantly get “ it “ .

Think of it like this ... remember Ghost Busters .... memba when that gigantic Pillsbury Dough Boy was stalking down the street between the sky scrapers ... memba that ... now put that Doughboy on your road with the cacti in the background ...... the doughboy does NOT have “ it “ ....

You could just as easily put on that Marlboro man Stetson, pull down the brim , lean against that horse and cast that long glance at the far horizon , wrinkles wouldn’t matter , even better , more rugged. That’s “ it “ .

Still ..... put a biker jacket , ragged steel toe boots and a doorag on that pillsbury doughboy ... hang a hammer on his belt. THAT would absolutely scare the $hit out of everyone .... no ladies casting a glance at him tho . See what I mean.

Might be a lot of Japanese fans photographing him tho .... just no “ it “ yayahahahaya no attractive mature ladies thinking of an evening by the campfire with the poor doughboy.

Just say’in

in reply to Kaliber

We are the same . Just me skinny and you with a bit extra ..

Yea I can be thin if I wanted, have been many times. Even if I was thin , I’m still the studious college professor or mad scientist in a TV script ( you know, the guy in a bland neat suit, studious long stemmed pipe, short haircut , glasses ...solving Quadratic equations to stop the killer tomatoes ) and you are still the Marlboro man yayahahahaya yayahahahaya. Not quite the same yayahahahaya I’m good with scientist, I like that role ..

The Marlboro man does ride off into the sunset with first prize ... and lives happily every ever with her ...everyone wants that.

I just have to lump it with second place ... that national science award and the $500,000 grant that comes with it yayahahahaya yayahahahaya. Not your first choice, but some ladies do love a good provider. It’s all good.

You are absolutely right my brother ... peel off all those good looks , magnetic personality etc. ... underneath ... we are exactly the same and that’s a damn shame isn’t it ... a shame for both of us. Neither of us would wish this on anyone. I think both you and I are facing our misfortune just fine tho, .. both of us well up to the challenge. We got this brother ... for damn sure. 👍

Groovy ✌️

Btw : I have this very elaborate 3 screen sim pit I have put together ( x-plane 11 , Saitek ) ...and I’ve been flying a Cessna 170 over your old stomping grounds up in Marin County for the last couple of hours. it’s a beautiful place up there my friend ... Lots of fun.

in reply to Kaliber

Bravo Hombre!

in reply to Kaliber

I read this late last night. And I put myself in that Cessna flying over the Marin headland. Spectacular Beauty there . The Faralon islands pro ales bay . God it’s beautiful. I’m flying vicariously with you .Made my day . You always remember the place where you came to age... Thank you Sir! Safe passage through the holidays brother.. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thank you too my brother .... world class natural beauty. Today’s sim apps combine up to date visual data from Google Maps and very trick A.I. Programs ... giving you the latest accurate scenery below and the A.I. Part adds in people, traffic on the roads, air traffic etc. it’s very realistic and accurate ... it’s a trip ( trip ..get it .. trip .... pun ... lame ..... never mind yayahahahaya)

Preciate it buddy ....✌️

Chocolate Chip Sea Cucumber

The National Ocean Service web site explains

that sea cucumbers are not actually cucumbers,

nor are they vegetables or toll house cookies.

In fact they are animals, echinoderms, like starfish.

The misleading site features a picture

of a delicious looking chocolate chip sea cucumber

with no warning that the chocolate chips

are not really chocolate chips, rather

they are some kind of brown protective camouflage markings --

and the name does them a Darwinian disservice,

undermining the dignity they are entitled to in the biosphere,

and disappointing to people hoping to enjoy the taste

of real chocolate chip cucumbers.

Beware of chocolate chip cookies on the beach. They invariably have a hook in them, and you will be reeled into the ocean.

... Ok let’s see now .... Some tarter sauce flavored K-Y lubricant..... bucket of live bait ( no artificial lures for this fine lady ) ... side of fries ....
