I stumbled on <a href="http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/trailmix/">Craig Crawford's little blaze</a> . It was an amazing little salon, with a marshmallow toasting on a coat hanger feel. Something about Young Crawford , he has a pretty interesting set of friends. It was a treat to visit the clearing and see what was cooking on the fire.<br /><br />Some times the flames roared-up, and caught a sleeping bag or two on fire. But Craig , has managed over the years to control the flames, and not set the woods on fire. No mean feat when one considers that the campground he chose is in Washington D.C., home to a lot of dead wood. <br /><br />Craig has talked about from time to time about moving the campground back home to Florida, and starting a fish camp. This was mostly when he was confronted by just how much dead wood there is in Washington. And I joked about what to do when fish heads were left everywhere, around the campfire, instead of empty bags of marshmallows & bent coat hangers. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The TM Fish Camp</span><br /><br />Over the years, at our little fire, we watched the world, and informed each other about things of day , music, books, history, life/death, jokes, ( Lot's of jokes ), big events, and the small events as well. These discussions are real treat for me, and have been of great value to my life. When the Great Haiti Earth Quake struck. We were all discussing what we could do to help, and I began poking around looking for something that would let us all not feel so helpless in the face of such great tragedy. I came across <a href="http://www.shelterbox.org/index.php"><span style="font-weight:bold;">ShelterBox</span></a>, and because one of the things I learned at Craig's campfire was how to build campfires of on my own, I set - up <a href="http://tmfishcamp.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The TM Fish Camp</span></a>, as a place where we could band together to help the people of Haiti. At first, all we were hoping for was to chip - in , and buy a few of these ShelterBoxes. Our plan was to follow these messages of shelter to where they will end-up in Haiti. Little push pins on a map , and see if we could learn the stories behind where they landed. <br /><br />But then , a funny thing happened , some of those interesting friend's of Craigs began to help us as well. It began as a shout-out from Keith Olbermann on Tuesday night last week. Then the next morning Craig appeared on Don Imus's show, and in the following days, we went from giving shelter to 30 people, ...... to giving shelter to 870 people. Our campground of just a few souls, exploded into a village of hundreds. Mixed in among all these gifts , are the contributions of Imus & Olbermann , one of the things we love at Crawford's campfire is irony. <br /><br />As of this morning, the last day of January, we have raised nearly $70,000.00, and we are working on buying our 88th <span style="font-weight:bold;">ShelterBox</span>. That's over 870 people, and that's a village. <br /><br /><a href="http://tmfishcamp.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Join The TM Fish Camp here</span></a>.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Colorado Bob</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7952121087416419658.post-7513563634139610682009-12-03T21:26:00.000-08:002009-12-03T21:39:29.665-08:00Tony's LampsTony Greer has figured out how to make oil lamps out of light bulbs, I know, it's really retro , but they are damn cool. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oTStYowgvQM/Sxifsiv-Z8I/AAAAAAAAA-o/Ql_HnEGPrY0/s1600-h/Tony%27s+Lamps-1"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oTStYowgvQM/Sxifsiv-Z8I/AAAAAAAAA-o/Ql_HnEGPrY0/s400/Tony%27s+Lamps-1" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411250539876739010" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7952121087416419658.post-84240146975200905742009-11-16T10:28:00.000-08:002009-11-16T11:28:40.915-08:00" Fat Elk Speaks "<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IVnwjTKFGzY/SwC9K8_o1hI/AAAAAAAAAL8/AK3V0wwKG2A/s1600/spiderbird+005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 1280px; height: 960px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IVnwjTKFGzY/SwC9K8_o1hI/AAAAAAAAAL8/AK3V0wwKG2A/s1600/spiderbird+005.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />A while back, my friend in South Carolina, by the nom-de-plume of "Sturgeon ", asked if I had a leather vest left over from a past life. I regretted telling him it was all gone. Well I was wrong , I found one in a box, so Friday night I let him know I would pass it along . I made this one on Flint Ave. in Lubbock, in the early 90's. It's made from a very fat old elk hide. I just washed to get it ready to send to him. <br />Hot water and Ivory followed by lot's of pulling on it as it dries out. Then a heavy dose of Carnauba Cream to restore the waxes and oils . <br /><br />Over the weekend, Sturgeon had the good fortune to rescue a Red Tail Hawk. Looks like that old fat elk is going to a good home in South Carolina.<br /><br /><a href="http://bluescrab.blogspot.com/">Sturgeon's Blues Crab</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oTStYowgvQM/SwGhd6e3q_I/AAAAAAAAA98/0_G7tZthdD4/s1600/front.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oTStYowgvQM/SwGhd6e3q_I/AAAAAAAAA98/0_G7tZthdD4/s400/front.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404778563108318194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oTStYowgvQM/SwGhdLDJ9dI/AAAAAAAAA90/287eaIjqjRI/s1600/back.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oTStYowgvQM/SwGhdLDJ9dI/AAAAAAAAA90/287eaIjqjRI/s400/back.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404778550375609810" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7952121087416419658.post-27607462384434122382009-11-03T18:11:00.000-08:002009-11-03T18:40:49.766-08:00My Oldest and Best Idea<span style="font-style:italic;">This is the last gas of an old man, please take it with salt. </span><br />I have carried this idea for nearly 40 years here it is all laid out.

David Tree</a><br /><br />This evening as I write the body count has slowed down in Australia . Now standing at 181, but a report on Fox mentioned that as many as 80 are missing. The fires however are still burning. Last figures I saw were 2 days ago, and the area burnt was at <span style="font-weight:bold;">1,300 Square Miles</span>.

Conditions like in Australia last Saturday. The flames were 4 stories tall, and embers were landing 25 miles down wind from the fire front.<br /><br />From California, to South Africa, from Texas to the Azores, from Utah to Greece. from Idaho to Italy, Spain, Oklahoma, ....... All of these places have burned their way into the record books. They all share common themes now, first the people on the ground no matter where they are all have a common quote :<br /><blockquote>We've never seen conditions like this before. </blockquote><br />It was 117 in Melbourne last Saturday, when this storm blew-up. It had been 114 for several days before the storm really got going. When Utah burned 300,000 acres in 24 hours two summers ago, it's no accident that July 2007 was not only the hottest July on record, but the hottest month ever recorded in that state. It had been 114 in Athens, when the terrible fire storms swept Greece the next month in that year. <br /> So the next time you hear someone say :<br /><blockquote>We've never seen conditions like this before. </blockquote><br />Remember we have seen this before, these events were described , and even named over 2 decades ago. They're called Mega Fires, and they follow on the heels of relentless heat and strong, dry, gale force winds. It sucks the water out of every living thing. From there it's just a question of where ignition occurs.<br /><blockquote>ARSON is unlikely to be the cause of most of the bushfires that ravaged Victoria on Saturday, including the deadly Kinglake complex blaze, according to a special police taskforce. ............ which was announced yesterday to investigate the causes of the fires, had divided the bushfires into six regions, only one of which was now being treated as suspicious.</blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.theage.com.au/national/arson-unlikely-in-most-of-the-fires-say-police-20090211-84sz.html">Arson unlikely in most of the fires, say police</a><br /><br /><blockquote>Climate models based on figures from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predict more frequent - and more extreme - fires for southern Australia over the next few decades. Yet the role of climate change in recent fires has been downplayed, suggests John Handmer of the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre at RMIT University in Melbourne.</blockquote><a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126953.700-climate-models-predicted-australian-bushfires.html">Climate models predicted Australian bushfires</a><br /><br />February 11 -<br />There is one thing that we haven't seen before however, the image of David Tree and a Koala that Australia now knows as Sam.<br />If you wish to donate to the fire victims.
