Bok!

dictionary

Turkish, bok, -ku slang 1. shit, crap, excrement, dung, ordure, feces, etc, etc; this according to my copy of ‘Langenscheidt’s Standard English-Turkish Dictionary’ (First Part); an erudite description of the word in question considering its place between the covers of this aptly-named tome dedicated to understanding between peoples.

Would that the bok that squits from the mouths of our political ‘leaders’ could be added to the steaming heap! The ‘system’ that drives our world drives me to despair – I expect that it does the same for you. With that in mind here’re a few images from a recent sunny day’s wander from our house to Kocadere Valley and back. As the human race slides towards oblivion, taking countless other species with us, may your spirits be lifted together with whatever glass they happen to be in.

  1. Hey, Alan. That stuff you brewed up in the last photo looks like good bok! Enjoy. Of course, the other photos are lovely as well. Hope you got to some camel wrestling this season.

    1. went to the first ever local match – small not very well organised. The weather has kept us indoors for those venues we really enjoy – still time though.
