Is that you? You look just like an eminent philosopher! ;-)

Yes, it's me.  Boris Johnson with dreadlocks.

Ha ha. Is that a farm tractor?

Yes, it's some kind of abandoned earth-mover. I love abandoned derelict things.

Insomnia, ho hum. ;-) You have a way with words I admire and envy. I wish I could do that. Have you seen those pics of ships that settled on the Caspian Sea floor, speaking of abandoned derelict things? Very surreal. Anyway, with your quips maybe you should run for mayor? You could start with a smaller town, though ;-)

Thank you!!!  Only in writing do I have a way with words.  In real life I tend to ramble dreadfully.  I think I learned to be brief from my friend who is like a broad cockney version of Judge Judy.  Cockneys tend to be very brief and to the point.  Years ago I had dreadlocks down to my waist and I was working in an office where the public came to pay money.  This guy just said to me "Mate, that's some barnet!"  Barnet Fair = hair.  I haven't seen those ships, but I'm sure I would love them.  I like the feeling of life going on in the past and then I'm free to wander round on my own imagining what went on.
