they updated it with some youtube videos if I remember correctly, so not so much.

maybe they just made the website to push links to avoid having the "sexual assault case"
appearing in the first Google page, because I just realise it's the case here in France.

I'm not a SEO specialist so it's just another guess

touring with a new album would be logical, but probably another tour playing the hits

Imagery is returning.  I use a lot of imagery when I'm storytelling.  Writing is a great adventure for me.  Knew I was due for one and it's happening. 

I got a clue yesterday when I was feeling lines from a song, Terrapin Station, "inspiration, move me brightly", "statements just seem vain at last" and my sig, "but the train's put it's brakes on and the whistle is screaming, terrapin".  Thank god, writers' block is such a bitch and kind of lonely.

But back to imagery.  I see it with my second eye.  It's not a hallucination; it's not that real.  But I do see parts of the scene and can feel some of it.  My second eye is more like a daydream but I didn't start it or control where it's going.  Today, driving along, I was just thinking how all the things I had going on have been completed.  Some people see that as juggling balls in the air.  I see it as ropes hanging in the air to be tied down.  Some you can just grab, others you really have to latch onto and struggle to get to the ground.  Todays were as easy to pull on as if they had been attached to a balloon, gather them up and make a pretty balloon bouquet and let them go.  How easy was that?  Unlike those ones I really have to struggle with and now my forearms feel the strain of that thought.  Might have gripped the steering wheel a little too hard when I saw that.   

No story in mind but it will come.  My novel characters might come for me.  They left me as a caretaker in a graveyard and cut out.  The birds have been presenting themselves.  They are great as a short story or important cameo appearance.  And I've got a grandbaby now.  My daughter always use to ask me to tell her my stories rather than read her a book.  Must have been good at it as they never put her to sleep. 

1) if the purpose is to keep somebody else from faking one, it would have done years ago, at the begining of the internet.
2) he personaly doesn't need a website, or probably haven't a big interest having one. as stated before, he already has Twitter to express himself.
3) so it's a record or publishing company thing, they made the website.
4) why do you thing a company spend time and money, even if it's a modest website? to promote something.
5) there are apparently legit sources who are talking about a book, even if you talk that with a grain of salt, there's no smoke without fire

I'm going with number 3.

GNR aren't the best at using the internet to promote themselves.  As for number one, yes they should have done it years ago but number 2 didn't give give a shit.  As for 3 and 4, there's not enough put into that site to have any faith a company using it is planning on something big.  It was a waste of time but one of those have to things.

I haven't been back to the site since the initial glance.  Have they added anything?

The only smoke I read was from the cranky, old man's site and you can't believe anything you read over there.  Where did you read smoke?

Bunnies as in chocolate Easter bunnies.  I was thinking paint a couple of bunny statues chocolate color or white chocolate to set in the garden.  I don't think the other girls were all that hot on the idea.

Got to the garden at 6:40.     I had a cramp in my arm that only work was going to get out.  By the time Donna's crew got there I had washed two thirds of their pots they were going to do.  Left at 10 as it started to rain,  One of those rains like we got in Denmark.  It was small drops but soaks you.  Not sure if they got to finish.  Went back this evening and helped Theresa with her bed.  She had been there since one and was glad for the help.  I was on a cardboard run for the Salvation Army Garden.  Tomorrow's project.

My ex gave me Lilies for Mother's Day.  I could smell them walking up to the car and his windows were close!  He's forgotten I'm allergic to flowers or maybe I haven't told him how bad it has got.  First thing I did when I put them in my car was to pop an allergy pill.  I drove home with the windows open in a panic.  He suggested I put them in the house so the whole house smelled, oh hell no, outside with those.     They're very pretty and very nice of him.  They're white so I think I will plant them in the moon garden.  There use to be this easy rhythm, flow, timing thing between us but it's just another reminder of how off it is.  He's trying but the connection doesn't work.

Who knew the SIL knew how to plug a tire.  I'm taking it over there tomorrow.  Solves one problem.

The grandbaby took 5 steps to me.  Would have been more but the dog wanted attention.  Can't wait for him to walk.

Cute but it melts.


So much for googling chocolate ideas for the garden.

I've been working on hardscape for the Bee Bar.  Normally I don't care for all those bee signs like, bee kind, etc.  But I thought this one described Beka, Bee Sweet and Bumble.  Not in the fuck up way but in humble, which is Beka, sweet and humble.  Got some metal bumble bees, one really large one.  And a bee hive.  Melanie is working on the name signs for the Bee Bar and the Chocolate garden.  The Bee Bar will have some of the bees attached.  Not sure what she's dreaming up for the chocolate garden.  Hard to come up with hardscape for that one.  Chocolate melts in the sun.     I should look at Hershey's gift shop, might give me some ideas.  The moon garden we are using the large silver plates but I haven't got Melanie working on that yet.

I picked up 34 and 35.  Another long headed cone that will go in the ground and another rattle snake master that is staying in it's pot at home with me.  Any bets on when I chip my nail polish?

Here's the Bees from Amazon.  Not the really big bee; that's from Hobby Lobby.  They had Fall and Christmas items they were putting out.     Amazon has no chocolate ideas.
