Z had nearly run out of breath. The altitude was taking its toll. A local merchant along the path said, "You will encounter the ghosts of the mountain." z was thinking that coca leaves would be damn handy about now, alas, the merchant had none of those. So z trodden on upwards and was intercepted by to the one side and from another flank "what brings you here up on this mountain" said yet another "It is a journey I am on, I was sent this direction by a mountain lion and an owl, they said for me to ascent to the Stronghold. one of the cats said, "Follow me."

Thank you @Trunk As you know, I consider TDB a vibrant community. And with COVID, our community, as the larger world community, was rattled by COVID. We reacted as was thought best. And upon further reflection understood that Personal Space has always been a fundamental cornerstone of TDB. There are rights and responsibilities that go along with that as well as being part of any community. I expect some criticism and feel free to express your thoughts and opinions. COVID has been rough and taken its toll on all of us, in some form or another. Respect each other is the core "law" of TDB.

as z started to wander away from the river bank and towards the ascent to the Stonghold he glanced back to the edge of the river, where a lone squirrel, or was it two?

And here were forests ancient as the hills, enfolding sunny spots of greenery. "This is where we part ways." said Big Cat. "what, wazzup, wasabi?" z said. "WWW dot com, amigo, Thanks for the burgers! find your way up to the STONGHOLD" Said Big Cat as it vanished Z followed the river, five miles meandering with a mazy motion, through wood and dale the sacred river ran. z ran along. For he on honey dew hath fed, and drunk the milk of paradise. This must be Xanadu, thought z. And Owl arrived saying, "Oh I see you've found your way afterall." "To Xanadu" z said. "Whoooooooooooooo, no, no, no you are in Altai and must start ascending to the Stronghold." And Owl flew off.

TDB is known for our unique cats, not to be confused with unique rabbits z himself is out on a new road with a big cat, what type of kitty it is remains to be determined, their destination, yet to be determined

"Me either, here is a basket of food, and I'm taking off for a bit with some new cat I just met. Remember, I got your back."

brought tears been covered many times since 1964 ,, not quite like this

It was nearly noon and z was putting food in baskets for the famished troupe "Just waiting to take these burgers off the grill." z said to himself. When the tall grass revealed something large was moving through it towards the direction z was holding a hustler in one hand to flip the burgers with and his beer in the other hand. In broad daylight, Owl flew in, and z dropped the hustler and a couple of burgers onto the dirt, but he held that beer fast. Owl, shaking its head, said "Typical, but I am here to tell you---" At that moment rushing out of the tall grass was a mountain lion. Owl flew off; Z asked the mountain lion, "How do you like your burgers." The lion replied, "Oh, thankyou, medium rare to medium is ok with me. actually, the two you dropped on the ground will work fine." "No, those are for Nungali. I will grill yours to order." and z picked up the hustler and dropped burgers, knocked some of the dirt off, finished the beer, placed the burgers on a bun and dressed them out, put them inside the basket. I wonder what owl was trying to tell me, thought z. "Don't worry about it, I appreciate the burgers, but I am here to give you a message.' said the mountain lion. z looked curiously at this magnificent feline. "Take the basket over to the troupe, return here and then follow me." said the big cat. "Follow where?" z asked. "I cannot divulge that." the big cat shrugged. then added, "you need to contact @dwai @ilumairen @steve "

For a short time in February — if the conditions are perfect —Horsetail Falls at Yosemite National Park appears to be set ablaze when the sun’s light hits the waterfall at just the right angle, illuminating the water and mist to a brilliant orange fiery glow.

a boabab tree ?! well that makes sense. i thought it was a carrot

on this day the energy of spring on its way begins. so tune into it and each day build your energy. now is the time. avoid sweets this month.

Why not, maybe they have a package deal and you can get a pointy nose too. maybe get a pointy wizard hat,

Z dispatches a raven to his friends Deep Green Resistance and at the blink of an eye, they respond "We hear you, Green Left Hand, we have set up position, await the loggers"

as he was in the habit of doing, sometimes, rarely even, z sent out a tracer to make sure his psychic message was received and it was, however, not to the intended receiver, questionmark, the actual receiver was @peter falk who had been hanging out with @Cameron & @Yoda z thought, perhaps, the mention of time travel near the moment I sent the message caused a form of entanglement which sent his message back in time. z sighed, I wish @Brian was here to explain to me about quantum phenomena. z focused more intently sending a softer wave form of psychic message you're not the only one been time traveling on this thread, the clues are there and he thought for someone skilled in time travel, seems a little mind reading should be easy, alas, you can never figure how some advanced skills bypass other skills along the way,, and isn't it interesting that psychic is psy-chic Then z asks the group, "where has @Earl Grey gone, did he ever recover from the schmoozing & boozing? and It makes sense he had to get some booze in his system, to combat covid...." z understood that even if this latest message failed to be received, we could always rely on using some psychedelics to boost the chances.

z tried to send a psychic message to questionmark ----still rather brilliant though-----
