Bohemian Justice

Work has taken an unexpected turn... the plant has decided on another one-week shut-down (not enough work to go around); a real downer. I don't know how my fate stands for that week.

The new project turned out to be a lot of waiting around and watching the Looms (massive weaving machines) it’s cool to see how it works though... coloured yarn get pulled from many selves with spools, they're lifted up and down to make a pattern. Hemp goes straight across the pattern and a gigantic reed (which looks like something to groom King Kong with) pushes the whole thing together with a bang... all this happens 115 times a minute... not long before the rhythm synchronizes with your heart beat. I get short of breath from just sitting around. The reed moves back and forth to the beat, hypnotizing. Your mind, once constantly in motion now follows the motion of the loom... nothing else... ... Geeezzz corn hash Bonanza!!! Somebody's been breathing too much hemp dust!

The euro trip is a go. My parents freaked out when I told them I was venturing solo... they talked me out of it those tricky loons!! Guess I'll be going with a tour instead. It would have been fun to see if I could do it alone. I can picture myself lost with a lot of luggage, stricken with panic... but no doubt be getting some of the best highs of my life too. Ah well, some other time.

Also, just heard Queen's putting on a free show at High Park in London this Friday. It's to honour the victims and rescuers. Hope the bastards responsible are watching. A city is shaken but never stirred. No bombs needed to blow this crowd away!
