Unfortunately the sound of a well tuned ballpeen makes a distinctive sound when abruptly occupying the same space as skull bone . Not only does it carry for miles its distinct sound may be traced back to its wielder .

"It was a dismal and stormy night .
Suddenly a distinctive Tungggg rang out from down a long dark alley . The world knew Nasty was on call and one less zombie roamed the night . "

it amazes me not so much that people have filters - they do mostly to ignore the stuff that otherwise drives them apeshit (city living... oiy can't do it)...

but those filters block all the subtle stuff too. in fact, much of everything. i think it's a problem with a lot of people/society in the american culture and why we need such shocking thrills and chills - the subtle is no longer good enough.

a few many years ago, as a matter of health and diet, i've pretty much given up on anything sweetened with corn syrup, most added sugar things; and was going with diet coke and such for some years. it's amazing after getting to the "less sweet" taste of diet coke, that corny syrup coke tastes VILE. so sweet and cloying. occasionlly, i would try some REAL sugar coke or other drink actually sweetened with sugar - it's not bad - but more carbs than i want. we've become so habituated to HYPER sweet, that nothing less will do - many kids won't touch fruit without adding something to it. same for salt, and many other flavors.

in the last 3-5 months, i've pretty much even given up diet coke, mostly drink tea (bottled though a lot), and water, and milk. man, anything sweet now REALLY is overkill. a lot goes a long way.

in a yet similar way, i've never been a smoker, and don't hang out in bars, my nose is off the scale. when i hit puberty, i noticed some women felled "funny" and some didn't. too a little bit, but i keyed on that i could smell their cycle. whoa. people wearing perfume annoy. i love the smell of lakes miles away, and approaching rain clouds, and the various kinds of salty to stale to fresh water on the wind. wolf nose i guess. ear? same same - never wore a walkman on HIGH or attended major concerts (earplugs the few times i go), never shoot without earplugs AND earmuffs. can still hear bat squeaks. eye? need glasses, but i hide in the shade and protect them - i seem fairly adept at seeing animals hiding, even far off. on road trips i'll say "look, deer" - nobody sees them. have to stop and point them out. a mile away "hawk!" where? nobody sees it. they thought i was always making it up, but i couldn't understand how they couldn't see it. weird.

after reading a few of tom brown's and other books, i now realize that a lot of people are basically blind - even me - his books have made me slow down EVEN MORE than my usual, and i'm really noticing tracks even more subtlely, and some things i ingrained as taken for granted; i've shaken up my perceptions yet again. i practice stalking now too. will be going camping for 4 days on 80+ acres of woods. i'll stalk beavers and people and ... yar. so, i recommend his books, but the basic deal, is get out there, and don't move. slow down, breath slowly, don't present a profile as human, don't make sounds or fidget... just be. then observe. don't make judgements. smell and taste and sift and feel. things will come to you. make a mile take a day. a week.

yar
