This is the Vaquero that was originally at the Hacienda, a hotel and entertainment area from the 50's to the 70's along Hwy. 99 and Clinton, in Fresno, CA. At some point it was moved to Mendes General Store on Hwy. 99 and Olive. Now it has been restored and is on display at the Fresno Fairgrounds. Photo by John Walker.

For centuries, different alien races have been described in ancient texts, myths, and modern UFO encounters. From the mysterious Greys and Reptilians to the Anunnaki mentioned in Sumerian history, each has its own legend. Some are seen as guides, others as conquerors—but all remain part of the great cosmic mystery.

 

Dragonflies are symbols of transformation and adaptability.

They spend most of their life underwater as nymphs, and only in the last stage do they emerge with wings, living just a few months as adults. Despite their short lifespan, dragonflies remind us to live fully in the present moment. Their ability to fly in all directions makes them one of nature’s most skilled hunters, catching almost every prey they chase.

 

 

I knew that people on youtube have recorded themselves playing cool versions of the notes written on the butt of the guy in hell in Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights but today I learned there's a bunch of transcribed sheet music online so you can play your own without having to squint into his crack.

 

"Here's to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world. They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. Look for them in this present darkness. Light your candle with their flame. And then go. Build bridges. Hold hands. Bring light to a dark and desperate world. Be the hero you are looking for. Peace is possible. It begins with us!"
