This is the home for random stuff. For example, here you have Mona Lisa visiting THE Mona Lisa to take a selfie. Clearly the painting doesn't do her justice.

Random Rumi.

 ~ The Yolo County Hermit ~

Sounds like good advice.

Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (1207-1273) was a Sufi mystic. I have 4 books of his poetry translated into English. I found this meme among a bunch of old .jpg files of mine. Thus inspired, I decided on a Random Rumi day.

Shemp. The Blues. Impeachment.

 THE YOLO COUNTY HERMIT

I follow the teachings of Master Shemp.

Government stalking, Merle Haggard, one chicken hawk.

(Stardate 08182026)

Hey. I saw a piece in the news about the Government monitoring everything we do online. Well, listen up, Government; I've been watching you, too. I'm not too pleased with your bulldookey either. Do you really keep track of my step-brother's vacations on Facebook? He's not exactly a dangerous guy. He's seventy-three and likes to travel. Darn you to heck, Government. That's right, I said it. Go watch your own stepbrother and leave Gary alone. 

Art. Blues. Wiener washing.

 THE YOLO COUNTY HERMIT

Please bear with me.

Mayumi Oda - "Hands of Compassion"

I love Mayumi Oda's work. She is well into her 80s now. I became aware of her when she did the cover art for Gary Snyder's collection of poems "AXE HANDLES" back in the mid-1980s. Be all that as it may, I don't see why this is titled Hands Of Compassion. There are no hands in this picture. Just saying.

High school football player finds cottonmouth snake inside helmet

The best cottonmouth pic I could find. This guy died nose-less. The snake died, too. See the guy's knife? It's final words were hard to understand because of the nose in it's mouth, but we think the snake said, "This is snot right."

Random photos. May hilarity ensue.

NINE (magical number) truly random images.
Welcome to The Yolo County Hermit.

January 2029, The absolute end of the Trump administration.

No explanation needed. Here we have a true fan.
I once saw a 1978 Gremlin tricked out for the Dodgers.
I didn't bother with a photo. The Dodgers? Christ.

1922. Cumberland, Maryland's first public transit system.
The lone bus did not run a fixed route; it just kind of cruised around.

I'm not certain what is going on here. Something to do with skin ailments, I guess.

A campaign poster with a digitally enlarged penis.

This is Velma Hubble of Yolo County.
She often vomits up cloth; scarves, t shirts, just about anything.
Once she horked up a large down coat. 

Also a local citizen, this is Abner Ackerton.
Once every daylight hour he rises from his sidewalk chair
and dances the Lambada, the forbidden dance of love.

 

Our final random picture today;
an Epstein party in 2007.

Until Next time,
