Where the Antelope Once Played the Elks Have Strayed

sized_GMC_01

The BPO Elkes #1625 of Lancaster California refer to themselves as the “Rage of the Sage”. Linda Dove on the other hand refers to herself as Linda Dove. I suppose she rages in private but then again I wouldn’t know. She has wild parrots as friends. She told me that she once won a pound of bacon. She had me over for a “lets beat the crowds” 4th of July celebration (held on the 2nd). You might say I saw fire in the sky before you did. I also saw Linda’s parrots in the sky. Guess what? I make parrots. Linda hasn’t seen them.

  2. No, I didn’t. Do tell! I have seen bees, I’m certain.

    It was great to chat last night. Thanks to you and Mr. V for coming on down.

  5. Okay, so you said there’d be parrots.

  6. The sounds and sights of your video gave me a big smile and a free trip to America for your big day. Thanks.
    Now where are your parrots?

  7. You got the finale, that was fun!

  8. Great shooting & great RW&B shot with truck. I just love that. (My shot for today is really missing a flag!)
    Looks like a grand time was had by all. We’ll probably be at the San Pedro Elks Lodge 966 to watch the Cabrillo Beach & LB fireworks.

  9. OH, I’m so glad you got this! It was fabulous sharing the evening with you and Mr. V.

  10. And, Linda has a collection of poetry that’s coming out this summer or fall.

  11. Hi PA. Could you ask Malcom if he really made our statue? I searched high and low and couldn’t find much info about it.

    Dina - July 4, 2009 at 1:21 pm

  12. hi Pasadena! Happy birthday a bit late…you make parrots?

  13. “The Elks” You realize that means our dads knew each other.

  14. Grand Fred was a grand poobah for the Shriners. Mid Fred skipped the whole thing in favor of bowling. Bitty Fred has a GED

  15. Dina
    This is Malcom in his studio; same building our space is in. Who knew he played a flute (or had a girlfriend) or was on you tube….

  16. Lurking about Lancaster “home of the free and the brave” or is that nearby Palmdale? Linda must be raging.

  17. Thats not Malcom’s girlfriend. Malcom hired her to assist him on a project. She and Malcom’s nephew returned to Israel to marry. Nice girl.

    Mr V - July 5, 2009 at 5:09 pm

  18. Fireworks is an appropriate theme for your PA site, Happy post-4th of July!

  19. Such a good job on that vid. SHRIEK!

    altadenahiker - July 5, 2009 at 10:56 pm

  20. Linda: defiantly bees, sometimes fleas, sometimes cockroaches. Maybe a trade? Ruben has something I want…. Great Party. One day I will reciprocate

    Petrea: Thats what I call them….Pete-ees. I’m up to three. The kiln gods hate them. Difficult to fire

    PJ: Howdy

    Laurie: It was nice to meet you and yours. Do visit more often. We outside the daily photo community get lonely.

    Jean: I’m a tease. I’ve got an idea centered around them that I’m trying to get a city agency to get behind. Maybe one day you will see my birds in a public setting.

    Dina: Presently my parrots are keeping watch in my back yard. I was hoping they would attract other parrots but my artistic skills may not have been enough to fool them. The Malcom connection is above. I think I got Malcom’s work mixed up with the guy he used to share a studio with. M’s work is much more elegant.

    Vanda: I did..I wish I had kept it going a little while longer so that I could have gotten more of “us” blathering away

    Tash: I can always count on you to pick up on the esthetics. I don’t want to toot my own horn but toot toot toot! Thanks for noticing. I thought so

    Vetti: I’ve made three from a mold I took off a parrot I sculpted in clay. We have a ton of green Mexican parrots that have taken over the area. They weren’t here a few decades back. All sorts of legends surround them.

    Pinky: I think I know who you are now. Please stay Pink for awhile until the storm clouds disappear. (and listen to ramona)

    John E: I hope she’s not raging. It’s not easy putting a patriotic holiday, the Elks club and a parrot loving poet in under the same roof. Now you’ve gone and thrown in killing defense machines into the mix. Yikes

    Mr V: thanks for the clarification. Malcom is single and owns two dogs but doesn’t hate cats.

    CO: Thanks..Did you dine on hot dogs?

    AH: Mr V can be heard commenting on patterns. I’ve been hit up with jury service. Downtown no less….crap

  21. I would like to verify that Linda Dove did indeed win a pound of bacon. She is a bacon-loving poet.
