The tree jutting out is a favorite perch, used to be nesting spot where one pair of bald eagles is often spotted. We look there for them or canoe around the corner and see them in the trees past little shore on the way to surprise cove. I am always careful not to disturb them. Then we took a tour on the Amoeba which has a new captain since the man who built the boat passed away five years ago, his son and son's wife have taken over. The new captains call to the eagles and throw dead, frozen fish in the water. The Eagles soar over, make a U-turn, then swoop in for the fish right by the boat. Best views I've ever had of these majestic creatures. Though it made them seem so domestic that they were doing tricks for this man. Could shatter one's image of the wild-ness of the Eagle. I doubt it will make them dependent on dead frozen fish dinners in front of the TV. It must not be a crime to feed the eagles as this is a high profile big business boat, Everybody knows.
We also learned a little more about the Bells and viewed their homes from the boat. Mabel, Alexander Graham Bell's granddaughter and our connection to Nova Scotia, passed away this past spring at 101 years of age.
This is my brother and I discussing life ever-lasting. He plans on being frozen. He wears a medic alert bracelet to ensure his body's safe arrival at the cryogenics lab. His new book, "God Wants You Dead," just came out. It is about thought control. Organized regligion, government, corporations controlling your minds, even making you believe in death as an inevitability. I haven't finished reading it yet. I figure I have plenty of time....
We went to see the State at a dive bar in Detroit last Saturday. It was the second day of this fundraising event for a guy with Cancer. The guy later said he didn't really have Cancer but really he is just an old junkie who has decided to self-medicate, as he would only know how. Seems logical to me. This second show was giving all money directly to Cancer treatments for all, rather than the junkie who took the money and ran. The second show had a lesser turn-out, but we were there. I won second price in the raffle, a thirty dollar gift certificate toward a piercing at New School Tatoos in Detroit. Caleb won a CD, which he hasn't played yet. I doubt if I will make time to get pierced, but we had a great time. We stayed with Aviva and Preston last week for three nights and are now at my mom's at the lake in the rain. We finally purchased tickets to Europe flying in and out of Amsterdam, training it to France and everywhere else. Our dates are September 18th through June 10th. We intend to stay in Amsterdam for a week before going to Cluny, but are waiting to hear from people in France first.
I had a full line of lovely laundry but forgot to photograph it and then had to stage one (top)
Then I decided next time I would have to invite Laura and family to visit Nova Scotia on business of course. She can not leave a laundry line like this unrecorded.
