The Truth the Dead Know
Gone, I say and walk from church
refusing the stiff procession to the grave,
letting the dead ride alone in the hearse.
It is June. I am tired of being brave.
We drive to the Cape. I cultivate
myself where the sun gutters from the sky,
where the sea swings in like an iron gate
and we touch. In another country people die.
My darling, the wind falls in like stones
from the whitehearted water and when we touch
we enter touch entirely. No one’s alone.
Men kill for this, or for as much.
And what of the dead? They lie without shoes
in their stone boats. They are more like stone
than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse
to be blessed, throat, eye, and knucklebone.
How does it make you feel?
What do you think its the meaning of it?
You left the church, but did not go to the grave site. After you left the church you headed down to the Cape, pretty day in June. You and your partner are intimate, and you comment, there are a lot of people wish they had the same type of intimacy. But the dead are dead and your feeling all this after the funeral, because of the affect it had on you! Sad and thankful –we have life!
Good job, well done!
Without warning Kenny Chesney decided he wanted to do some tailgating in PIttsburgh! Kenny Chesney came out into the parking lots and ended up singing on the river at the Froggy Flotilla boat. It was an incredible moment with thousands of people gathered around the river Kenny Chesney sang Old Blue Chair, No Shoes No Shirt No Problems and more! We’ve gathered some of the video from the event and put it together is this Kenny Chesney Sings on the River in Pittsburgh montage! Take a look…if you were there you might even see yourself.

http://www.visit-ulcinj.com/The Montenegrin coast is 293 kilometers long and is home to some of the finest beaches on the Adriatic Sea. The beaches here are the major reason why Montenegro is expected to be the most rapidly growing resort destination worldwide, in coming years.
In addition to the beaches described below, there are many more small beaches, sea caves, and hidden valleys reachable only by boat or water taxi. It is possible to hire various watercraft or simply take a boat taxi and go on exotic shoreline crusing.
Velika Plaza — Also known as Long Beach (and Plazha Madhe in Albanian), is one of Montenegro’s great natural assets – it is the country’s longest contiguous beach and its most famous Adriatic beach. Some locals like to call this 13-kilometer stretch of Montenegro’s coast, the “Copacabana of Ulcinj”. The beach is well-know for being covered with the finest sand (the diameter of a grain is 0.1-5mm) with such a fine quality that it is reputed to have medicinal and therapeutic qualities.
Ada Bojana — At the edge of Montenegro’s South Coast is Ada Bojana, a popular destination with international travelers to Montenegro, and perhaps most telling, among Montenegrins as well. The area is known for its daily fresh fish catch served at Ada Bojana restaurants, the local nudist beaches, and for some of the most scenic portions of Velika Plaza, attracting throngs of beach-goers to this Adriatic destination on any given day.
Valdanos Bay Beach — a horse-shoe- shaped natural water body, is situated about four miles to the north of Ulcinj’s Old Town, between Mavrijen and Mendra. The bay’s end point falls steeply and suddenly into the sea. The beach at Valdanos is single, composed of round stones 1 to 20 cm in diameter.
Mala Plaza Ulcinj — Ulcinj’s Small Beach is the 360-meter city beach adjacent to Old Town Ulqin and Ulcinj’s city center area. The beach is considered highly suitable for children since the sand is fine and comforting, and the sea here has a shallow bottom which goes some distance into the sea.
Ladies Beach — So-called “Ladies Beach” is situated along Ulcinj’s coastal pine forest, just south of Hotel Mediteran Resort, part of a succession of small natural beaches and quiet covers that exist along this Adriatic coastline. The beach here is known for its therapeutic springs of sulphurous water that is said cure women’s infertility.
Many beaches on the Montenegrin South Coast are now in compliance with Blue Flag standards for safety and services, water quality and environmental management. The manegement of this exqusite corner of the Mediterranean is entrusted to a special company for maritime resources which ensures that this public wealth is open and avaibale to every guest.

I have a pair of Sperry Top Sider boat shoes that I have been (regrettably) wearing without socks. These ones are leather on the inside and (black) wool on the outside with sort of a patent leather accent on a couple of spots. Is it safe to throw them in the washing machine maybe with like dark towels or something and let them air dry?
I should have worn socks with them because now they smell..horrible and I’m not sure how to clean them without ruining them. Thanks for any advice!
This one is a tough one to answer. Because they are wool and leather. But I will give you an idea that I would try if they were mine. If you can’t clean them I guess they are fairly useless, so try this.
Take out the laces and open them up as wide as you can pulling the tongue up. This is the hard part so wear something that can get wet.
Pin up your shoes at the car wash where the mats go. Spray them inside. Let them drip dry for about an hour at home. Either use the sun to let them dry facing the heel towards the sun, or pull the dryer vent hose inside and aim it at the insides of them. They might shrink because of the leather and woolb that is the hard part. If they do shrink, you might have a shoe repair in your area that can stretch them for a few bucks with those wooden or metal inserts that crank open once inside the shoe.
Maybe someone has an idea like lemon or orange sprays, but I personally haven’t known much of anything that will overpower stinky shoes.
Try wearing some powder next time or the real thin booties that don’t show above the shoe.
I hope you get it worked out! Best wishes!
So I’ve been wearing this pair of boat shoes for a while (canvas outer). Since they’re boat shoes, I wear them without socks. Recently they’ve been smelling really bad.
What should I do? I have very good foot hygiene, so that’s not the problem. Any advice would help. Thanks.
The problem is that your feet sweat in the shoes and bacteria grow and you have that delightful odor. Since they are canvas, You can wash them or you could use shoe deodorizer spray or powder. I have found some success with both that or lysol spray and setting them out in the sun to dry and bake.
