I wonder !
Sometimes I wonder .
Do I reason why',
To do and die
Or retreat in defeat
Then comes a light
It comes with might.
saying what is right
poem by Lloyd Bradbury upon thinking of a new painting
The flood is gone and on the trail three blck dogs
showed me the way across the bridge'
Do I reason why',
To do and die
Or retreat in defeat
Then comes a light
It comes with might.

Storm at Riverside Il.
I didn't exspect when I painted STORM, I would be in the center of one the next day! Mother is fighting back. She even blocks and foods my trail to Riverside. The winds were over 60 mph and the rain came in rolling sheets. When you hear about in the news, remember this happen at rush hour. The trees have taken the brunt of the storm. The water is everywhere and temp in 90'sVerylittle loss of life. but the damage is widespread. The lightning ground strikes were in the hundreds about the area The radar shows more to come. This is a report from my bunker near the DesPlains River.
tHE STORM WAS SORT IN DURATION. FIRST THE HIGH WIND THEN SHEETS OF RAIN,FOLLOWEDBY WIND SHEAR. aFTER A SHORT REPREAVE RAIN AND LIGHTNING OF LESS FORCE. THIS STORM DID COOL US DOWN TO THE 70'S. tHE FALL OF NIGHT TOOK THE WIND OUT OF IT.TOMORROW AGAIN THE HEAT. THEY SAY IT WILL ENERGIZE MORE STORMS
The lightning is less now but the wind is holloing around my bunker Oh I spoke to soon here comes the lightning again.

Up early. Pad walks blocked with wires and trees short cut over swinging bridge bridge flooded bright side power still on water not inside. But trip to Chicago by train off tracks have debre sun is up and bright and hot, more storms in two hours. I must stay in bunker due to power lines down my cane is made of netel. I have food for a few vdays. McDonalds a few blocks up hill.
It is now the next day...
DesPlains River
The last time it flooded was 20 years ago. The dug a deep tunnel project many years ago to solve this problem, but the rain overwell it.
My trail before the swing bridge two days ago there is 9 foot of water there now, I walked 3 miles and inspected the three car bridges around this area. They will withstand the flood but hones in rhe Salt Creek are already pumping out their basements into the desplains Gaas and oil is seen in trhe flooded areas.and mixed with mud is flopoding basements due to poor storage. I talked to some sanbaging on 39 st. They said 20 years ago the national guard used this street for boats. I live on 39 Street!
Tonight they say no rain, all of it is goinging to Indianaor the East Coast.

I am trying to get the darkness out of mind
so
the lightness i can find
in the darkness dwel my devils
in the light are the angels
in
my mind a battle rages

The first object of the painter is to make a flat plane appear as a body in relief and projecting from that plane.

My Trip
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
A few days ago, I decided to visit Marija. It was a hot day of over 90 degrees. My attire was a T-shirt, jean shorts, high white socks. Sandals and cane.
The doors of my bunker slammed shut as i left my bunker. My apartment is located on the backside of a hill. A square concreate structure with high small windows, a thick glass patio door (made for an atomic attack),and solid large oak doors.
I walked from Lyons across the street to Riverside Lawn. I stumbled on a a road that was last fixed in the 70's,
Riverside Lan has homes surrounded by trees.
It is unincorporated, cottage homes were built as summer homes in the early 1900's. The few streetsltad to a forest trail,
The Trail is a short path tin a wild woods. It is a last stand of nature. The forest path is part of a larger forest preserve along the DesPlains River.
Riverside was founded in rghe 1870's Many upscale homes dot the village Many trees and small parkes surround the homes of the affluent. There is a golf course nearby.
I am headed for the train station. There is a METRA every hoir to Chicago's Union Station.; It is 9 dclock.
Uh O it is CUBS DAY!
I call Marija on cell phone. And tell her I will meet her at 6 PM. So I go home and take a nap. IdDecided to start again at 3. But before that let's stop atGRumps for coffee.
To be continued...........................
It is now 3 and am heading for the Train at Riverside.I put on my bug apray. So that the ticks, inch mites,and other bugs don'eat me. The inch mites are even in the city now. It seems to be a new bug that cannot find it's natural host so it bites us. see them at;

The cause of the region's mite bite outbreak has experts scratching their heads.

I don;t know if iam being posioned by the spry or mother nature!!
At the village ......
Before I boarded the train, I wanted a snack. A sandwich was on my mind. I wanted a 7am sandwich! So the FRESH Express Café was my destination. The 7AM sandwich is served every day at all times. It is egg, cheese, bacon served on baggel. Now on to the train

Insperation
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation; but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.’ Marc Chagall
