Diving to 400 metres we saw a light flashing green.

It was a luxury camp site with muticolored lavish and large tents.

Susprisingly even at this depth we did not need a mask, the water carried oxygen – or so it seemed.

But our impression was short-lived, when we realized we were at Mountain Heights, not Green Depths.

The wrong address, the right results.

Hidden behind the dusty pane of glass.

A brave new world.

And a wonderfully well equipped launderette.

Next to that tribute to the high church of a functional service facility, was a cafe.

They served a crisp Chardonnay which allowed one to view the world anew, as a sort of virtual garden of eden, a source of everything, a wormhole or foundational distortion warp field.

Somewhere to hide.

Grey or brown is unsafe at any speed.

A dark color is not a conspicuously safe choice because…it’s not conspicuous at all.

It’s also surprisingly unsurprising and fails to add to the Joie de vivre and feeling of flippant innovation, discovery and possibility, that adds sauce to the daily staples of life.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Even if we didn’t.

Because we are powerful, persuasive and politically connected.

And the last of those should ring alarm bells!

A chance to sit and sip and be honest.

What a relief, what a way to be!

Trace and place the lace.

It was a doily handed down by three generations of grandmothers.

This means that it was crocheted in the early 1800’s.

The stories that we can file for the many people involved in this line of descendants, are legion, numerous and illuminating.

We learn more about the history of these different eras via the doily story than from a teacher.

Because it all seems so damn relevant.
