New Growth

An amazing thing, after a forest fire.

Be it sooner or later; sometime after the fire has wreaked it's havoc, after all that remains is but soot, ash and scar.  And......

....  LIFE, which makes it's appearance, anew.

And as with every forest which has ever existed, this cycle repeats through the ages.  Over and over and over again, from ancient millenia past, to the tiny sliver of time we call history, and into the future, long after we're gone, and are but ash and dust our own selves.

So now, from the dust of Acidman's ashes, which is the state he wished to return, rises a new growth.

A blogdaughter.

I found this in the comments to today's celebration of Rob.

I am at work right now...so can't be here for long. *sigh*

post'hu-mous: adj.
born after the death of the father

It's with this dictionary description of the word above that I am letting you all know that Rob has become a blog-daddy again. I have been wanting to have a blog for quite a while and even attempted once but chickened out.

Somehow I have the courage now.

That's Rob's longtime commentor, Cindi.  Go visit and welcome her.  Rob would have done it for her; I do it for her now.  And for him.

Got your back, Blogfather.

I surely do got your back.

We can use a few more people who appreciate the TRUTH, as I told Cindi in her Comments.

And ya know, Cap'n, anymore, I don't give a got-dam what political stripe a purveyor of the TRUTH has on their back, it's the same color as the stripe on mine, and that's good enough for me.

Our enemies are those who refuse to use logic, reason, truth and civility. Whatever political side those who DO use those all-important qualities come from is FAR less important than the fact that they have and use those qualities.

We need to use our blogs now to check those stripes and then get this pride of smart, truthful and civil lions together to do a little hunting and eating. There are a lot of food animals out there now, Cap'n, so none in our pride will ever go hungry.

Hi Jim,
I'm glad you've got his back.
Kim have told us many times that you are very good.
I left a poem/rhyme for us at my site.

Cheers

In similar news, did anyone notice the flesh and blood baby announcement posted in the comments on GR? *grin*

I love that everywhere I go, bloggers are writing volumes. Nice post. I'm about to go send a tiny launch to Cindi as well. Thanks for the links and the great convo last night. That chat did me a world of good.

Oh Jim! I was not expecting this at all! I was off work today and spent the whole day with my parents. Just got home not long ago, checked my email and found all the wonderful comments! Came here, and when I read this post...uh... all the emotions I have been feeling came to the forefront again and here I am sitting here fighting back the tears. Thank you so much.

Now is the scary as hell part. I have so much I want to say on my blog but I am worrying about saying things the right way. Whatever that is! I am just going to be myself and if I sound like a doofus...oh well! Thanks again for the kind words.
