Clipping #6 "Babylon"

 

     And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

    And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

    And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

    Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

    So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

    Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

 Hi all. Jason here again!

Sorry for the long pause, I've been feeling pretty swamped with my work backlog, plus a few symptoms are sticking around. I have a weird tickling sensation all over my body, especially my veins, and my eyes are itching like crazy. In any case, I'll post right now before I pass out again. Oh yah that's been happening too.

Hi, Jason here. Sorry for no post yesterday, something happened at work on Friday and I came home with a nasty cough, and somehow It got to the point where I slept straight through Sunday.  I'll try to make this brief since I'm not feeling myself, but I'll try to post tomorrow. It should be easy since I'm taking the day off of work. My boss is very pestersome about getting my symptoms. Probably some insurance bullshit or whatever. 

Clipping #2 "Baltic"

 

I'm reminded of the story of Leif Erikson. Of course everyone remembers that he found Vinland, but everybody forgets right after that, he rescues some stranded Norsemen just off of Vinland. To set sail on the cold north sea or north Atlantic in a longboat must have been to trust a dozen friends, hope against hope your sails were filled and bow remained unbroken, not to mention pray with all your heart that Odin showed you favor, and Thor withheld his ire. And after Leif returned, I wonder how many adventurous young Norsemen sailed off in search his Vinland, only to have their longboats never reach shore.
