Topic: What goes on here ????
 

This thread is the most on topic thread on the Hubb. A mere recital of the original post might refresh the memories of those who are feeling a bit out of place.

I find the light bulb topic most interesting and am considering writing the National Institutes of Science for a 6 figure grant to pursue the topic, beginning with a peer reviewed article in an established journal.

Once a greater interest in the topic has been established, we might be able to pay volunteer contributors to this thread, that is if they can replicate the interesting posts found here - so far.

Meanwhile, keep those razor sharp insights flowing in and always remember to keep on the topic of "What goes on here"

ps: time limits have been waived, and could someone explain to me about the "fork" reference in a previous post. That I did not get.

The explanation, bit of a long one though:

(Self evidently, with a memory like that, I can't possibly be just 7 1/2 years old)

Lights on at the Ranch, no Luz Mal
 

Well I arrived in FLagstaff and sure enough xfliltrate met me at the little cowboy-theme cafe on his KLR. We had a bite then headed off to the ranch. This is no ordinary ranch, rustic but charming and heaps of soul. Picture LED lighting in the shower and can, and in the Spy Bar (with a cello wrapped whole salmon on the wall) and around the sound equipment with musical instruments at the end, just left to where I was instructed to park my bike.
See if you can codger an invite out of Xfiltrate but I warn you, he is well-read and well-traveled, as is his charming SPanish wife, and no fools are suffered there.
This luz mal intellect/wingnut is a well versed in history, sociology, poetry, and international travel. He is fluent in SPanish so has some choice when he is talking to his wife. And if you are lucky you will buy some very reasonably-price jewelry from his creative wife, Ms. Xfiltrate.
If you spend some time at the ranch you will be recharged and have new friends for a lifetime.

No this is not a review for Air BnB, but a real-life illumination on pure souls met along the way. Is this on thread? Who cares, this is just one drunk who recently vacated the infamous Spy Bar passing on some highlights of his last week to other Hubber drunks.

Larry, of the luz magnifique

We were also recipients of Ed and Elisa's generosity when we passed through Flagstaff in Sept and I agree entirely with what you've written. Ed's background and life experience is visible throughout the ranch and is both impressive and humbling. I won't post up any pictures without permission as privacy is important in these matters but the day we spent with them was one of the highlights of the trip and something we still talk about. A big thank you to both of you.

And now back to the topic in hand. Just remind me, what was it again?

International Space Station captures "Luz Mal"
 

Breaking news: as reported in a previous post, rosa del desierto and I
witnessed a "luz mal" from our bush camp isolated in northern Argentina.

Now, an International Space Station camera has videoed a "luz mal" reported
03nov15.

This is exactly what rosa del desierto and I witnessed as it moved from
mountain peak to several thousand meters from our position. It blinked out
as we began to approach it.

I guess it is time to decode the last of my coded e-mail - which puts this thread right back on track: I wrote "Does anyone know how to change a luz mal? backwards see previous post.

I am continually impressed with those I have the great fortune to meet via the Hubb. back of beyond's group of three northamericans and then canadian larrysimpson all spent time at our ranch and to them I say "mi casa es tu casa" what great people- each one very interesting .... let's see if I can remember some of their credentials - a medical doctor, an organic farmer who instructs organisms -
now that was funny.... a world class photographer and a finally a writer who is actually published by the mainstream press......and
each a very good , decent person who I am proud to say I have met.

Each has brought new perspectives and ideas to our ranch and each, I hope carries with them always an open invitation to return.

Eat, Drink and we are outa here next week.
