Camonica Club of North America: quotes

1979's 'Breaking Away' was a very memorable film. It's one of those movies with a lot of depth and background, despite it's relatively simple message. There's a lot about a young person trying to find themselves and their place, which is very relatable. The film is based on an actual race held annually at the University of Indiana, and the film was filmed in Bloomington, Indiana, and the cinematography was excellent, and really captured various moods.

The filming of the film's fictional 'Little 500', although again it is an actual race attended by 25,000 spectators annually, was excellent. It might have been filmed on the same day as the actual race. If you haven't seen this movie, then you probably should read no further! I love the metaphor of the final stage of the race, where "the Cutters" are well behind, and the protagonist David is exhausted from carrying the team on his back. Two of the Cutters are ordinary at best, then Mike was strong and athletic but is not a trained cyclist, and David is their superstar.

As the spent and banged up David comes in for his final stop, Mike jumps on the bike and through sheer determination and vitality, gets the team back within striking distance. Then comes one of the great underrated metaphors of film history! Going up against these well-trained collegiate teams, they're incredibly still in it. The other two teammates tape David's shoes to the pedals for the final stage, which powerfully symbolizes "there's NO going back now." No more substitutions, no more breaks, no more water. I don't really know if that would ever happen, as what if the cyclist had to stop for whatever reason? Then through guts and talent, David wins the race. In life, we all have a few ace cards that we can play decoy with, but eventually we have to just put our best out there; win, lose, or draw.

Looking back at the film "BREAKING AWAY" from 1979

Louis Rondoni

I'm related to Louie Rondoni as he was known, who was a very good competitive cyclist from San Mateo County back in the '50s, and maybe before that. His family, related on my paternal side, had come to the county earlier in the last century from the Ironwood-Hurley area.

Nature is BARBARIC

Some time ago, I was looking out our front window back home. There were no houses across the street on the hillside, and there are a lot of trees, mostly pines, and a good number of birds. However, during the last couple of decades, ravens have moved into the area, and they don't like other birds around, so we saw less of them than what was usual before that. So on this day I spotted one of those pretty little white butterflies. I call them angels of the day due to their bright appearance in the sun, and their angelic motion. As I watched this white butterfly move along, and pondered my last days living in the home that we had for so many years, out springs a small black or dark grayish bird from the trees! To my surprise, it made a beeline towards the butterfly! It knew what it wanted, and the butterfly did also, and a chase ensued! The butterfly went into a surprisingly high rate of speed, then I lost track of them for a moment due to all of the background colors of the environment. In another moment, I spotted the bird on a branch, and I could see by it's beak and motions that it was clearly eating. It ate the butterfly.

After the ravens moved in, things would change in the local food chain. The ravens didn't tolerate anything except humans. They would stoop low and lunge at small dogs or cats. They particularly went after other birds, even going so far as to try to intimidate an occasional hawk when they entered the area. They kept a safe distance, but they at least tried to intimidate them, usually two-on-one. I think the animal they despised the most were sea gulls, who occasionally crossed over the mountain from back and forth between the bay and the ocean. One day I was in the kitchen, and I noticed a large amount of white feathers in the air, which really got my attention. When the feathers cleared, I could see ravens killing a sea gull on top of the house next to ours. They then fed on it. Although we commonly think of nature as being serene, which it is, we always seem to forget it's brutal side. When our pets enter it, they become part of the food chain, and we do as well!

There are videos of rabbits eating their young. or puppies eating one of their siblings alive. Very graphic videos! If we shrunk down to eight inches tall, and walked in a nearby park or hillside, dogs and cats would suddenly become defacto grizzly bears and Bengal tigers! How do we know that our own pets wouldn't do us in? Of course, there are dogs which can kill adult humans, without us having to shrink down in size. Our cats while we lived there over the many years, were able to live very full lives. They were free to roam, and they did, sometimes far distances, hunting. One of them was injured once, and we never did know what happened. Today, our cats would never survive there. Coyotes have moved in during the last fifteen years, and there is a lot of room for them. They're also active during the day. They will go after small dogs and cats. The first thing they did was eliminate all of the foxes and wild cats. One of our cats narrowly escaped being killed by a chasing pitbull, right in front of us, but he managed to make it to our six-foot fence and leap out of danger just in time.

Another time a couple of years ago, a neighbor's wandering cat narrowly escaped walking through the neighbors yard, being chased by an aggressive border collie. Hawks can sometimes go after a cat, although it never occurred up there. I think that would tend to be a larger species of hawk, and a smaller cat. Wild areas are much like urban areas, where everything can seem fine, then predators strike. I remember long ago when I spent a week at Jones-Gulch camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains one late spring when I was about eleven I think, and right after we had arrived and got off the school bus, one of my classmates was attacked by bees. She must have walked too close to a hive. It was only a few bees, but she was stung a number of times. I remember that day, how warm it was that early afternoon, the rugged mountains and woods. It's not surprising that there are many dangers up there, including poison oak! On a side note, I had mentioned earlier, paternal relatives who has migrated to San Mateo County long ago. At least a couple of them had attended Jones-Gulch as children, in the '40s!

My first experience with the brutality of nature was when I was a small child in our backyard. I would pick up grasshoppers by their legs gently, and look at them. Also, moths by their wings lightly. I remember turning them around and looking at their alien-like appearance. One day, I had two grasshoppers, one in each hand, and for whatever reason I put them together to see their reaction. They immediately clutched each other and started biting and drawing blood! I recall just throwing them in the soil. They didn't hesitate for a second, before tearing into each other. I'm 100% certain that if any human being shrunk down to two inches tall, and ran into one of those large preying mantises, they would clutch the person, and just start feeding on their heads! There are strange aspects of nature, such as we think of wolves as being very violent, and doves as being very gentle. Actually, wolves never kill other wolves, and they mate for life. Humans can't even say that! However, doves are particularly brutal, and kill each other all the time, or peck each others eyes out! So, shouldn't the old metaphor be changed from "the dove of peace," to...... "the wolf of peace?"

The following articles today, got me thinking about this issue:

'Mountain lion tears dog on leash away from its owner in California neighborhood'

'Great White Shark Bites the Head Off of a Diver in Extremely Rare Type of Fatal Shark Attack'

I have something like a second cousin once removed on my paternal side who came out to Hollywood to try to get into maybe films, in the '30's I think! She was striking looking, if not beautiful. One of those smiles and eyes that just lite up. She may have had a bit part in something, but ended up being a waitress for some years. We had some photographs of her, as she had stayed with our earlier relatives who had lived in Brisbane. It's drives me crazy because a lot of these photos somehow got lost. I think I have one of her left, so I'll put that up sometime. She went from the Northwoods to Hollywood! Her photos remind me of Rita Hayworth. It's fun to think that a relative of mine was so glam and fancy, coming from a very historically isolated, blue collar background.

'Scientists Discover Gigantic Sharks in Mammoth Cave... Yes, Sharks!'

Sharon Parry - AZ Animals - February 18, 2023

Not the sort of news story that you would usually associate with Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky bearing in mind that it is miles from the sea! However, as is the case with many inland areas, this area was once an ocean and in those ancient waters there lived sharks. Shark fossils have been discovered miles underground and are allowing scientists to learn more about these incredible species.

La Festa dell’ Inverno: Winter 2023 - Part 2

Post Xmas

I had actually wanted to get this out, with a lot more content, before Xmas.... but I just didn't get to it. On the subject of Krampus.... Krampus is not just from German mythology, but from surrounding countries and regions as well. According to Wikipedia... "Krampus appears in the folklore of Austria, Bavaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Northern Italy, Autonomous Province of Trento and South Tyrol, Slovakia, and Slovenia." [Book: 'Celebrating Life Customs around the World: From Baby Showers to Funerals' by Victoria Williams; 2016]. Although German in origin, it ultimately comes from Norse mythology, and likely traveled within the folklore of Germanic tribes and bands such as Goths, Cimbrians, etc.

It seems strongest in the eastern Alps. However, although it's fun to be able to lay some sort've ancestral tie-in to the Krampus legend, the Italian Alps is ripe with many other mythological legends that I'll cover at some other time. On one video, someone suggested that the Krampus legend "migrated" to Trento, the Dolomites, etc. from the Austrian-Hapsburg Empire. This, of course, is absolute nonsense, as the Austrian occupiers were hated in Trento, Lombardy, and the Tri-Veneto! I didn't want to argue the point since it was just all just in fun. Clearly, this cultural migration was due to several small soft migrations of Germanic peoples over the centuries.

From the moment we are born as human beings, the people around us prepare us to fit the herd. We start out as being part of a family, and then we expand our social life with friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and, in many cases, a significant other. People tend to work together and spend time with each other, and thus, they form a well-oiled machine called society.

Living among the herd has many benefits, like safety, security, access to other people including potential mates, and a shared identity that creates a sense of self. But in some cases, the herd doesn’t want you anymore, and you become an outcast. Or you don’t want the herd anymore, and you become a recluse. Or, perhaps, a little bit of both.

No matter what the reason is: some people just don’t seem to belong. And when you don’t belong, you’re an outsider; an outcast. So, how do we handle being an outsider? What about those that don't belong?

This video explores the fate of those outsiders and outcasts that live outside the herd.

Somebody sure needed to state what's on the above image! Sometimes some closed minded right or left wing ideologue is presented with some fool-proof fact(s) that stops them in their tracks, and they immediately do a cowardly "quick google search" in order to justify their position with some scant counter argument, and they use it as justification for some destructive belief that they just can't exorcise from their minds. A real critical thinker---at least in their own mind!---challenges their beliefs by looking at it from the opposite camp, or a whole assortment of other checks to test it's validity. The main point that I wanted to make is that we all need to start physically going to the library again! Also, in our library systems are special research rooms, where records and other information can be found that we should all know about. Maybe we all need to make note that 2023 would be a good time to start using our library system a lot more!

La Festa dell’ Inverno: Winter 2023 - Part 1

La Festa dell’ Inverno

In Italian, within the Stregheria tradition, this means "The Winter Festival." I was thinking that my fondest memories of winter was when it was cold, and when the sky was dark, or even those cold clear night skies. I can even remember something I was pondering during the winter eleven years ago, walking through a wooded trail, amid the cold, under a dark sky, in between the rains. I remember it like it was a few months ago, rather than years. I can remember when I was a child, being out beyond our backyard fence on the hillside, in the darkness of the early evening, in the cold, and looking up through the darkness at my family's large back window shining golden bright. My parents had a few relatives and friends over. My father had the Michigan football game on. My sister Katherine was there.

To me then, it was just another day, but just a little more special as Christmas was approaching. To me now, I wish I could go back and enjoy it again, and maybe change the fate of my family. I guess I would have to have my mind, consciousness, and experience as it is today to accomplish that. Sometimes I think of the oldie 'We'll Sing in the Sunshine' by Gale Garnett. Somehow, although it's more of a summer song about a romance, it defines us in at least spirit as it told a tale of a great short-lived period and an unexpected ending. It could be very applicable to winter, as that is the time of the year that we most remember family, on those winter nights during the holidays. For us, we didn't have much time in the sunshine, so to speak. That's just the way it went for us in this incarnation.

I don't want to think of those times, and even recent years when my mother was alive, with sorrow. I remember after my cat Fred died from leukemia, many years ago, and I was in pain from the loss. My mother told me that after the pain subsides, I would just think of him and it will just be a good memory. My father, my sister, my grandmother, my fiance.... but the loss of my mother last year was the most difficult loss of all for me. It could have been so different for us, which is so difficult to accept. It never gets easier. I remember very few of my dreams, but I had one maybe close to ten years ago which was vivid, in bright colors, and everything was good. Everyone was there, a place where everything was perfect, and time and place were no object. Privately, in my mind, I've named it "A Dream Like No Other." Maybe that is what Heaven is like...

'We'll Sing in the Sunshine'

We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way

I will never love you
The cost of love's too dear
But though I'll never love you
I'll stay with you one year

And we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh everyday
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way

I'll sing to you each morning
I'll kiss you every night
But, darlin', don't cling to me
I'll soon be out of sight

But we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh everyday
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way

My daddy he once told me
"Hey, don't you love you any man
Just take what they may give you
And give but what you can."

And you can sing in the sunshine
You'll laugh everyday
You'll sing in the sunshine
Then be on your way

And when a year has ended
And I have gone away
You'll often speak about me
And this is what you'll say

We sang in the sunshine
You know we laughed everyday
We sang in the sunshine
Then she went on her way

Winter Solstice — La Festa dell’ Inverno — December 21/22

Goddess gives birth to the new Sun God, the child of the Holy Union of ShadowFest. The Watchers, known to the Streghe as the Grigori, come to see this new child, but are surprised to see Janus there presenting his new-born child. It is here that we see Dis and Janus are the two faces of the Great God. The Grigori then proceed to the world of man, bringing the new Lord of the Sun. Lupercus, the Sun, once again begins his growth.

My thoughts on genuine fur coats

I came across this online.... a very luxurious bobcat fur coat...

White Lynx Fur Coat with Hood (bobcat)

************

According to Google:

"How big is the fur industry?

"According to a new study, the global fur trade has now been valued at more than $40 Billion worldwide – roughly the same as the global Wi-Fi industry."

************

A new high end bobcat fur coat is approximately $7,000, a new lynx coat is approximately $20,000, and a new mink coat is approximately $21,000. Needless to say, this industry has been under siege in recent years, with the trade in mink fur declining by 45% in the last twenty years, for one example. As a critical thinker, and more importantly a Free-Thinker, that maybe I disagree with other issues brought up by those who are against this industry should not come into play... although it can be difficult to separate the two. One thing, I would never oppose faux fur coats. Animals hides, skins, fur, etc. is a huge part of human history, and it was entirely proper when humans were in low populations and struggling to survive. One of the big problems is that the best fur comes from the most beautiful animals.

Also, somehow waiting for an animal to die of natural causes is totally impractical for numerous reasons. Canine fur apparently is not luxurious, as it's greasy and odorous, and more like sheep fur. Since 2000, the importation of dog or cat fur is illegal. Apparently bear fur is similar, although there are still the full body bear fur rugs. Beaver and otter fur is also "good" for clothing, and rabbit fur is used as well, but just not nearly as expensive. A beaver coat goes for about $1,200. Faux fur of any type goes for in-and-around three or four hundred dollars, with "Viking-style" shoulder capes going for about $100.

I like rabbits and lambs, but a dedication to rabbit or lamb rights would be setting one up a staggering amount of disappointment. They're hearty, but small prey animals by nature. Yes, lots of people have them around as pets, and they can be compatible with domestic cats and dogs, but they will forever be vulnerable. In east Asia, all animals are used as meat--maybe not in the full mainstream of society--but it still goes on in massive numbers. I could post videos of dogs and cats being skinned and even cooked alive, but you can just take my word for it.. there are lots of them. That's still separate from the fur issue. Dog and cat loving Americans still have no collective problem with coyotes and bobcats being hunted.

There are strong American laws on the books which protect pets and animals in general. However, laws regulating the damage done by large and/or aggressive dogs are not very strong. This fur industry is based on harvested animals, and not hunted animals. Hunting is an entirely separate issue, although some of those animals can be used for products. The real question is "should animals be harvested for fur products?" Even the leather industry is really a separate issue. Also, it's a question of not just "if" fur harvesting is proper, but if so, how much? It could just go in the general direction it is going, with less demand, and higher prices. If it was somehow banned, just for the sake of discussion, a strong black market for fur would quickly develop.

I would favor the current direction, with a slowing of the industry, and moving further towards the faux fur industry. Also, maybe an emphasis towards more of a generational way of looking at this? An expensive mink coat will continue to be luxurious generation after generation. There is simply no way to stop a very wealthy person to want to own--to use a horrifying example, a snow leopard coat--although there can be stronger laws against that. In other words, someone supporting moderation would need to look at the dark side of "banning" everything that some unelected bureaucrat (with massive funding) decides for you. There are too many people in the world who would be in full support of a Wall Street war profiteer's activities, while at the same time seek to ban the culling of rats in the big cities. I would be more in support for international laws with teeth against poaching.

European leopards

The Modern African savanna existed in the ancient tundra of Eurasia

Today, leopard species--whom are all very similar--exist from the southern tip of Africa, to the Caucasus, to the easternmost part of Russia, down to Sri Lanka, and down to the island of Java in southern Indonesia. Amazing, their range once included all of Africa and Arabia except the remote deserts, all of Turkey and the Middle East, as well as almost all of the far east portions of Asia including Korea and even further north. However, they also very much existed all across Eurasia. I suppose it's likely that perhaps a century ago, the leopards who still exist today in just a few small patches in southern Turkey, also were present in a couple of remote spots in nearby Europe.

However, I'm speaking of a very widespread Eurasian species at one time in the very deep past. I'm guessing that this European leopard may have been similar to the amur leopard of east Russia and northern China (see image above). They have a heavy coat in the winter, which sheds in the summer. The fossil record for this European species goes back to about 600,000 years ago in France, and became extinct 24,000 years ago. It's assumed that snow leopards probably migrated to Europe during the ice ages, but there's no definite proof of that.

During these glacial movements, the Eurasian tundra apparently looked like a frozen African savanna, with very hairy mammoths, wholly rhinos, lions which probably had a thick mane covering their whole upper body, hyenas, leopards, and all sorts of stagged/hooved species just like on the African savanna! So along with huge cave bears and wolves, this would have been a very dangerous time for those people who lived there. Also there were wild horses, yaks buffaloes, and I suppose huge saber-toothed cats. Another curiosity is that those lions and hyenas may have had a similar struggle on those icy plains as they do today on the hot savanna.

Pleistocene Park

Pleistocene Park is a nature reserve on the Kolyma River south of Chersky in the Sakha Republic, Russia, in northeastern Siberia, where an attempt is being made to re-create the northern subarctic steppe grassland ecosystem that flourished in the area during the last glacial period.

Organic imparted wisdom

We all partake, in one manner or another, of the age old process of both learning from or imparting wisdom. Often it's learning from elders, and imparting your own wisdom to those younger. It may not always follow that exact pattern, but overall it tends to. In today's world, often it's a learned person of your choice, probably at least as much as elders in your family. "Elder" was once a term of deep respect, much more so when people lived in smaller clans. The word comes from the Saturnian god El, a god of time and wisdom, whose learned teachers were referred to as Elders. It wasn't specifically or necessarily about "age."

When I find myself taking everything that I know, focusing it onto a particular subject, and processing it onto what I want to say in completion, I see the faces of those whom I have learned some of these things from. Many have now passed on, but I think of each one for split seconds as I process the knowledge and information. Sometimes I feel like I should give them a mention, but that wouldn't be practical as there could be a dozen of them. Also, each one is coming from a particular principle, if even just an organic principle... a parent or grandparent for example.

Some of those principles I may not have been in total agreement with, or reflected certain trains of thought which I'm not really a part of, but they were still teachers. Sometimes I can think of two random teachers within this context, whom each would not get along ideologically had they actually met, because they were of two different principles... two different disciplines. In MY mind, I believe that I can "keep it straight." I don't want to miss out on the knowledge, so I decided in these instances to open my mind and rely on my own filter.

I remember recently of watching a Jordan Maxwell video, and in the comments were people who had written how Jordan was their teacher. In Jordan Maxwell's case, this makes more sense since he was not any type of political pundit. However, even he had his biases. We all do. Those people clearly had chosen him to be their teacher. In the old village life, the youth followed their own parents and family, and the established local Elders. In those days, those people could be counted on more reliably to dispense good knowledge as they truly cared about their little societies. Where my family came from, it was a grouping of small villages, and the next grouping of small villages were five or six miles away down through the mountain trail.

Nurse and Captain Joyce Riley

In a society like that one, trust was important. They could really count on their families and Elders. Today that is not at all the case. As painful and frustrating as it might be, even some of the most trusted individuals may have something important wrong... or even "wrong" from someone's perspective. This is why communication is even more important today, rather than individuals being essentially required to speak in "political layers".... to speak differently to different people. Someone extremely close to us, we can trust with virtually everything; someone still quite close, we can trust with a lot of things, and so forth. We naturally form these "layers of trust." This socio-political dynamic is relatively new to humankind.

I wish I could adequately thank my various teachers, but I probably couldn't because of this layered system: "YOU listen to that guy!?" I may disagree with half of what that person says, and could probably debate them in a manner that would be anything but friendly. However, they may be good on a particular subject, or they may be on "the other side" on any particular subject, and I might learn something from them. Of course, if they're totally hostile to your concern(s), then you probably wouldn't be listening to them at all. However, if someone wants to be a knit-picky ideologue, then they will just dismiss and/or prejudge anyone who they disagree with on even just one thing!

Just this morning I came across 'The Power Hour' website and podcast, which was founded by retired Nurse and Air Force Captain Joyce Riley, who passed away in 2017. Someone could prejudge this program as "right wing Christian," although I could almost laugh as I recall her husband making a few truthful statements that sounded very old school "left wing." When she ran for President as a write-in candidate, I actually voted for her! I indeed marked the write-in circle and wrote in "Joyce Riley." Of course her running for that office, and traveling and campaigning, was an attempt to raise the alarm for numerous issues not commonly brought up in mainstream politics. I would consider her a teacher. When we impart wisdom, those various tidbits of knowledge carry the energy of all of those various teachers. It's almost like an occultic tribute to them though your words, and how you affected someone else's understanding continues to live on, and those whom they teach, and so on, far past your lifetime... maybe forever.

The Barbary lions once inhabited North Africa - they were said to have magnificent manes and were supposedly the largest of all lion species. So, what happened to them?

"The interesting thing is that Barbary lions were not the only lions to look like that, there was various lion populations throughout Africa that looked similar. They were generally found in the colder mountainous regions, with the exception of the Cape region of South Africa, due to it's Southern location it already had a cool climate. Anyway, these unique looking lions were mostly found in the most prominent mountain ranges in Africa, from Mount Kenya, the Aberdare range to the Ethiopian Highlands in East Africa and then the mountain ranges throughout Southern Africa.

"Lions once lived in the coldest and snowiest country in Africa, the small mountainous country called Lesotho. This southern African country has frosty, sub zero winters even in the lower altitudes, at higher altitudes snowy conditions occur frequently in winter and natives have lived there for centuries despite the harsh conditions. So lions would've experienced very cold and snowy conditions in this region, they would've preyed mostly on the huge mountain dwelling elands, can you imagine lions chasing such huge prey in a snowfield? That would be an awesome sight. Leopards also roamed Lesotho, so they would've looked similar to the Amur leopards in appearance and likely larger in body size too. Lions were confirmed extinct in Lesotho by the late 19th century, the last verified Lesotho lion was killed by a missionary.

"Most of the unique African lion populations I mentioned have been killed off, with the exception of the very elusive Ethiopian lions. Lions still grow similar sized manes in the wild, although not as impressive as those unique African lion populations, they're still impressive nevertheless. You'll still see a good amount of lions with long impressive manes in Ngorongoro Crater and occasionally in the Serengeti plains, both regions are quite high in altitudes especially in the Ngorongoro Crater. Southern Africa has the occasional impressive manes too, especially in the plateaus or the southernmost regions.

"Thank you for your patience whoever got this far, because I know this was quite a read, I can't help myself sometimes."

'Rare all-white bald eagle spotted in Oklahoma by student home for Thanksgiving break'

Orlando Mayorquin - USA Today - December 1, 2022

An extremely rare white bald eagle was spotted in Oklahoma by a college student returning home for Thanksgiving last week.

Justin Briley said he noticed the bird feasting on an armadillo carcass alongside some turkey vultures and grabbed his phone to nab a few photos.

“At first I thought it was an albino turkey vulture,” Briley told USA TODAY. “When I was looking at the pictures, I zoomed in on them and I could see its distinct white head and yellow beak.”

The bird perched itself on a tree after it finished eating. Briley captured more photos and videos of the iconic American bird with his phone using a spotting scope.
