Haven’t posted anything here for a week plus. My mood shifts in normal times. I might feel like putting together content one day and not the next. I have other activities so its not like I am fetal lining in a spider hole. That’s too much like being inturd, a shitty feeling… but do weContinue reading “July’s leading edge”

Juneteenth+1 in Tulsa
The idiot in chief says he made Juneteenth famous. He did put a spot light on it. We’ve seen enough of his clown act to know there are several angles on what he does. He claims ignorance of the significance of the 19th of June for black citizens. Declaring his ignorance, which I guess weContinue reading “Juneteenth+1 in Tulsa”
Micro code as therapy
Not yet being compost my grey matter likes exercise. The website offers some. There’s the drawing. The writing, both prose and the other stuff. Projects in the back yard. I finally put that kiwi plant into weed Valhalla. My resolve to build the tiny house weakens, flickers then flares up again. As the old sayingContinue reading “Micro code as therapy”
An afternoon at Laite Beach
Invisible cats ran over the waterVisible dogs ran across the sandThe cats left cat’s paw dimpled waterThe dogs left sandy divots on the strand Elbows to picnic table, binoculars to eye.A sailor in sailboat long hauling home I spyProfligate jib and mainsail full and spilling air That’s a wealthy sailor, one having wind to spareContinue reading “An afternoon at Laite Beach”

The blue is a mood. The woods are their greenest at this time of year. Its raining now. The plants drinking their fill of this freshest of water. I too collect rain. Two barrels hold between them a hundred gallons. Today’s sprinkle will top them off. We pull water from underground for domestic use. TheContinue reading “Lost in a blue wood”
Will the tourists come?
Whats the difference between a busy harbor and a “tight” harbor? The old timer remembers a harbor busy with lobster and fishing boats. With small freighters carrying all manner of commerce. This beautiful and picturesque harbor is at the center of the town of Camden in the state of Maine. In recent decades, instead ofContinue reading “Will the tourists come?”
Odds and Ends
Odds and Ends it says. That’s because I’ve posted drawings without current context. These days the context is Pandemic and Social Justice. I give attention to those themes but there’s got to be more going on. The drawings were printed in a state business paper in the early 1990’s. I got paid something but notContinue reading “Odds and Ends”
The writing on the wall
I said elsewhere on this site that it seemed like 1967 again. That was over half a century ago. Then as now the pressure cooker of racism at the sharp point of society (police) has boiled over. George Floyd was murdered, quite simply. He became the latest of tens of thousands of black citizens murderedContinue reading “The writing on the wall”
Into June already
I’m kicking around the idea of building a tiny house. There is a movement here in the USA to down size. Its a reaction to a couple of things. One is the ridiculous escalation in home prices and property taxes over the decades. What is ridiculous vs just the market in action, is the restrictionsContinue reading “Into June already”
