Nitrogen fuel

     Just read the article about Nitrogen fuel for the new cold engine production. This will change the way the mega oil companies do business. I expect them to try and sabotage this new and astounding development. 

    What happens is this...Mega oil will do its best to beat down any and all competition.  They will go after the patent first making it impossible for this startup to gain any investors. It has happened before.

    Remember what percentage of our atmosphere has Nitrogen. It is the most plentiful gas of all gases.  Extraction takes a very cold temperature to liquidfy and store.

     This is easily accomplished.  The energy generated as it returns to a gas is truly impressive. The engine design is already established.

Eugene the Clean

    The homeless in Eugene left the fields burning with desire for them to be gone. It is the annual ritual of disbanding by embarrassment in the press. Setting fire to fields illustrates their displeasure.

      The fencing around Jefferson Park worked. It was a slow process to get them to move on.They went back home or to another vulnerable city.  Move on or else was the only choice given to them by the Eugene Sheriff's Dept. They are sending them back to the bewildering Wilderness of Life. 

   Eugene returned to the quiet college town it was designed to be despite the liberal demands. They had their say. 

Now comes the sanity of decent city leadership.

    I kept my distance by living at the famous Eugene Mission. Forty acres given by a horse rancher who had sympathy for the homeless.  Two huge barns filled with donations was a big part of the deal. A huge dorm for homeless men was built and instantly occupied to full capacity. The displaced women's dorm came later.  All was given by the good citizens of Eugene.  There are even accomodations for children.

    I met Javier who introduced me to Clay. Clay had a room for rent in a shared room. At least I am not living with the 150 homeless and struggling men at the Mission.  Smokers be gone.

     Nearly 2 yrs I spent at this Mission it was not bad not good. Three square meals a day, showering everyday was all part of getting savvy about Eugene. New duds for finding a job was the object. Surviving is the thing for all who come to Eugene and have nothing but a hungry belly 

     The move to a Clean & Sober Living house registered with the city was the next step. These houses cater to felons, drunks and addicts who have sworn off their addictions and criminal behavior for good.  What can go wrong will go wrong      

    Things are still not quite right even at Clay's house. Better here than there. Only 550 a month and you learn to feed yourself. Food stamps are the salvation of poor Americans with injuries like I have.  It is super hard for DHS to even give us158 bucks a month for food called EBT Electronic Benefits Transaction.  This needs to change immediately. The price of food went up 25 per cent.

     It is so hot for the time being as my birthday approaches. July 13th is the date. I missed perfect 7's by one day being that my Mother was induced.

    Today's temp was 102 same tomorrow and Tuesday. They are saying Climate Change. Scare tactics do not work for the savvy. The Hurricane has a lot to do with the weather.  It sucks moisture from everywhere to feed that 6 inch deluge in Houston.  

    Look at the curve of the Gulf of Mexico.  Hurricanes have shaped the shoreline for eons.  The more things change the more they stay the same.

You are welcome.

     

Australian Trains

      Australian trains have a clean feel
Just like the north coast countryside
they travel through.
        The pastoral scenes of horses and cows
The struggling, water-starved trees and brush
Clinging to every drop of Mercy
All the cows and calves bow their heads
As if in group prayer
Worshipping the very ground they walk on.
       The moment in travel soon begins again
stopping to stare at nothing important
As if looking into a mirror
seeing yourself again happy
to be free of the constant worry
     Eager for the next moment of wonder
Enchanted by children on the train
Enchanted by the train itself
Becoming one with the Great Iron Snake
Moving from place to place
Always searching never finding

The train is ultimately boring as it can be as it plows through the countryside 

Stopping at every small town on this epic journey

I met two friendly children traveling by themselves on the way to meet their father. I gave the girl a handheld mirror. It was the very first time she saw herself.  I protected them from strangers.

   In return, the father invited me to spend the night at their palatial home.  He took me to an Australian breakfast. This was way too much for a skinny guy like me.

He simply encouraged me to visit again, dropping me off at the train station.  I continued ever northward.
