Paul Carter: 1 Second Revolution, 2004

a tall man dressed in black with a dark hat and face covering stands in a cobbled street holding a wooden sign.
Written on the sign, and giving off considerable smoke, are the burning words
"you're not alone"

The Louis Vuitton building

Color photograph of buildings in New York on a sunny day with puffy clouds in the sky. In the background is a stone-clad skyscraper (and behind that an even taller International Style building). In the foreground is a six-story building that has been wrapped and decorated to look like a stack of five pieces of Louis Vuitton luggage.

How to deafen a friend and burn his neck and hand, all at one time
The source for this image is a "PhotoShop Battle" Reddit. Here's a pretty funny one that someone did featuring Bugs Bunny:

Meme from The Simpsons
<Bus driver is driving the bus>
“Don’t make me tap the sign.”
<Bus driver’s hand tapping a sign>
“The only dems who will get my vote will have to commit to holding all of these fascists accountable. It’s non-negotiable.”

We had a neighbor keeping chickens and a rooster for a while. The chickens would respect the low wire fence they'd put around the pen but the rooster wouldn't, and he would usually cross the woods and end up in our yard. I had to herd him back to their property a couple times.

"Arctic Pulse Sámi Reindeer Migration. From above, a migration becomes a living heartbeat with more than 2,000 reindeer flowing northward across Finnmark, Norway. Guided by Sámi herders and ancient instinct, this seasonal movement reflects a rhythm older than borders, where survival and culture move as one."

Take a Cutting, Leaf a Cutting

A "propagation station". Like a little book library, but for plant cuttings. A dozen or so little vases on a shelf with plant cuttings.
The misspelling of propagation is a bummer for a neat idea.

“Is it PO or PA in propagation?”
“I dunno, better use both”
“Is it PO or PA in propagation?”
“I dunno, better use both”
This is excellent, and I am _enchanted_ that propagation is spelled two different ways.

I visited the used bookstore he worked at a few times (it's gone now) but I honestly couldn't tell you whether I'd met him there because I'm more or less celebrity-blind (Mac McCaughan took my ticket at the gate for a Mergefest and I didn't know it until my wife told me later -- and that guy's like 6'5" or something). Any gossip I've heard about Wurster though always makes him sound like a pretty great guy.

@ardgedee which store? Chapel Hill became so impovershed as a place to walk around and shop in my years there, in 1994, when I came, there was a lot more than T-shirt stores and beer/burger/wings places.

Arch of beans
This year was a cliffhanger, blossoms just weren't happening.
Turns out the new irrigation system over watered. Now we have beans

A milestone

I worked for an engineering firm that specialized in utilities. I got to have a tour at a coal-fired electric plant. How they work is shockingly complex and at a scale that is hard to grasp. It took hours to see and walk from the coal coming in by train all the way to the towers where water condensate reclaimed from the steam turbine was cooled for reuse. In between the coal is crushed, powdered, blown into a giant furnace, the exhaust is filtered with miles (literally) of fabric that gets washed, the water is boiled and pressurized into a turbine. They burned a half-mile of coal train every day.

Solar beating coal? Yeah. If course it does.

A recent mental journey (Pub Quiz > Nixon Founded the EPA > Wikipedia EPA) resulted in me reading all about the Love Canal disaster which predated/precipitated both the EPA and the superfund list, which made me look up what fly ash was: coal combustion products, which lead me down a coal rabbit hole. I don't know what I expected but the more I learn about coal, the less I like. I cheer its decline.
Randomly, my friend Naeem was in that exhibition in the source link.
