Zelenskyy enters the U.N.

Photo of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy entering the UN headquarters with two body guards. He is turning a corner so the side of his face is illuminated while the other faces are in shadow. Coincidentally the colors of the walls are blue and yellow like the Ukrainian flag. He looks extremely serious and careworn.

Brush Removal Crew

A herd of goats in my back yard.
alt text
A herd of goats in my back yard.
When we bought our house in 2012, the backyard was full shade.

Right behind the house is a steep hillside, which had three tall hemlock trees and a few other evergreens - all in various stages of dying. Once those were removed, the sudden full sun exposure caused an explosion of weeds. It's too steep/rocky to just keep mowed. I've tried various methods to keep it looking somewhat managed, including something that looks like a hedge trimmer on a long pole, and at other times ignoring the problem. Ignoring at least brought some now large-ish self-seeded redbud trees, but the rest of the slope continued to be a mix of thorns, tall weeds, invasives, and poison ivy. It also has a bad tendency to look fine, and then go completely out of control in a matter of days.

I got a few prices over the years for brush removal, most wanted a lot of money to cut it all down or spray everything. Then I found out we had a local company that used goats for brush removal. Much to my surprise, our otherwise fairly restrictive village has nothing against temporarily keeping livestock right in town. The price was almost half what anyone else wanted to do the job - and we get a yard full of goats!

The crew of 22 has been hard at work since yesterday evening, and there is nothing leafy remaining within six feet of the ground. They don't seem to be interested in the black raspberry canes themselves, but most everything else is gone. What is left looks a lot more managed, and will easily be removed with the tools I have. I think we'll have these guys back early next summer when everything explodes again.

At some point we should figure out what to plant back there to keep the weeds under control.

22 goats? Imagine the smell…

(We had a couple of Billy goats when I was young and the female family members thought their stank was unbearable, while the male family members —including me back then— had no issues with them, and must have had a very different sense of smell. Hormonal, probably.)

Guitar body clamped in a vise, hand-held drill with an absurdly long drill bit making a very oblique hole in the middle of the body
I've been working on this for a couple of weeks now, and getting into the home stretch. This is from last night, drilling the last of the relatively dicey holes that it needs for electric connections. I got that ridiculous drill bit at an estate sale earlier this summer for $2 - i was planning to start this project, and i grabbed the bit as soon as i saw it, knowing i'd need it for this.

(ignore all the dimples in the neck pocket: they aren't holes, just centers from a forstner bit used to open up most of that space)

I'm grateful for our local tool library, which has a really nice wood shop. I did all the initial planing and jointing work there, then the drum sander on the glued-up slab, and spindle sander for shaping after roughing out the body. Their tools saved me dozens of hours and massively improved the result.

I should be able to post a complete shot in a few days, after a few coats of varnish and the slow drying time in our otherwise perfect early fall weather.

New Cycling Shoes

A very worn out pair of FiveTen mountain bike shoes.
alt text
A very worn out pair of FiveTen mountain bike shoes.
I’ve tried various clipless pedals over the years, and always gone back to flats on all of my bikes. Modern spiky flat pedals and sticky shoes are such a great combination. I bought my last pair of shoes, canvas FiveTen Freerider Pros, on some sort of crazy sale just under three years ago. Other than the bottom being chewed up from my various pedals, they were still in seemingly good condition.

However, I've noticed this a lot of discomfort on my road/gravel bike this season (but still good on the mountain bikes). Weird aches and pains, numb wrists, numb toes, and such. I was chatting with a friend of mine about it, and he suggested shoes could be a culprit (and as expected for a roadie, tried to get me to switch to clipless). Once I started paying attention, I noticed my riding shoe had about the same flex as regular gym shoes instead of being super stiff. The real surprise though was checking my recorded rides, and realizing I've put over 4600 miles on these shoes in the three years.

New shoes arrived today. Also FiveTen Freerider Pros, plastic instead of canvas which is a bit of a bummer. These do have the boa system instead of laces though, so no more having to stop my bike to tie muddy laces with sweaty gloves. Hopefully the rain stops at some point so I can try them out.

I'm glad you're not letting someone talk you into shoes you won't like. I have clipless pedals on my road bike, but they're old school SPDs which purists say are only for mountain & gravel bikes. I like 'en because you can walk normally wearing them and they're metal so they last forever.

I have to assume that a deviled emu is just another name for a cassowary.
roonie pro Yesterday
Warning! Sad and gory.
I had a client who told me that her aunt was killed when their car hit an emu.
The emu was happily running alongside the road but veered across the front of the car. An old car, with a thin windshield. Emu is taken out at the knees, rolls across the bonnet, through the windshield and into the cabin of the car.
Immediately starts lashing out with its long sharp claws and effectively eviscerates the poor woman.
Her husband scrambles out the driver's door, dragging the emu by the neck, but the poor woman bled to death in the passenger seat. Emu ran off.
Argie pro Yesterday
@roonie yep, this is the second story of a person killed by an Emu that I've had told to me. First one was very similar, a car in the northwest hit an emu, the bird went over the top of the car and through the windscreen of the car behind killing the woman in the passengers seat.

Hmmm, hoping these aren't the same urban myth told differently
Argie pro Yesterday
Edit: actually, no, I do hope they're both urban myths and nobody died by emu
roonie pro 21 hours ago
@Argie I don't know for certain, of course, but what I do know is that the lady who told me is a very down-to-earth, elderly, country lady, who wouldn't have had the time or inclination to entertain "urban myths", and she was not one to exaggerate. Plus, she said she was directly related - the victim being her aunt.
Having driven around outback Queensland a bit myself, I can vouch for the emu's ability to surprise, on the road. Large body, large eggs, maybe not such a large brain?
Argie pro 19 hours ago
@roonie oh I'm sure both stories are likely true, I was just hoping they weren't. Both are horrific endings
Australia
Horses: ~11 deaths per year
Cattle (Bovine): ~4 to 5 deaths per year
Dogs: ~4 deaths per year
Kangaroos: ~2.5 deaths per year

seems reasonable that Emus make an appearance every now and then

I remember in college, we read a book about Williams. His widow recounted unannounced visits by young and aspiring poets. I think Allen Ginsburg was one of these, at one time. Williams would let them in, read their verse, maybe offer a little advice. He was kind to them, but sometimes, when he had gotten rid of one, he would say: "The darned fool".

I worked in a museum and heard "is it real?" a lot. A long time considering why this is important to people has led me to believe that this is at bottom an instinctual attraction to authentic items and people, perhaps something animal in us, and that there is something extra transmitted to the observer that is not there with a replica, which may have its own positive effects on the observer not available to the original. Not talking about fraudulent attempts to pass something off as authentic, but plainly stated replicas, even elaborate, expensive ones. I'm sure the philosophers have thought on this for millennia. I should find their work.

An older friend of mine had a big party nominally about her house's bicentennial but really just to hang out and eat indecent amounts of snacks. I showed up two hours into a three hour party and this was "all" that was left. 😂 House is in the background, it's a nice house. This lady calls me whenever she needs to update her email signature file.

I had a party like that when my house turned 100, but the snack table wasn’t nearly that long

200!
Our building turns 100 this year and we’re having a party, and we are all excited about that!
Our spread is not gonna look that fabulous though, like wjcstp said.

@wjcstp well, when you have the 200th party you can double the table length accordingly 😏

64 years here, but would be satisfied with 64/200 = 31% of those snacks

New lair just dropped

What looks like a giant steel long, triangular shape, with many windows on the one side. It is perked on the very edge of a large mountain, with a sheer drop next to it.

Razorcakes

A collection of issues of the punk rock zine Razorcake laid out neatly on a bed.

A collection of issues of the punk rock zine Razorcake laid out neatly on a bed.
I'm packing up house to move this weekend* which, among other tasks, means organizing the couple of collections I somewhat-reluctantly keep.

This is every issue of Razorcake I've found so far - I wouldn't be surprised if I stumble across one or two others in the coming days. Earliest I have is No. 107 and the most recent issue, No. 154, is at the bottom. I haven't dug into it yet, but I'm especially looking forward to the Dead Bob interview. It's not a clean run through those; over the years I've let the sub lapse a time or two or lost one while traveling or given an issue to a friend that was a big fan of a featured band or something, which is fine. I'm not a Collector, I just have a couple of collections of things.

*Not moving very far, about a mile and a half. Same zip code even, just the opposite side.

I was going to say that I had officially slipped into squaresville by not recognizing a single one of those bands but Hammered Hulls, whom I've seen live (although I guess Mary Timony doesn't tour with them any more?), are on one of the covers.
snarkout pro 22 hours ago
Carnage Asada and Grudgepacker are both A+ band names.
ufez pro 19 hours ago
@snarkout It's always been the case that it's relatively rare that I recognize any of the names on a given cover, but doubly so since (it at least seems like) they've really expanded their global coverage over recent years.

(and yes to both!)
nikkuneko pro 16 hours ago
good luck with the move! even the 1-2 mile ones are no small feat.

and hah, i happened to zoom into a cover that featured xetas! i either saw or played shows with them a couple times when they passed through here and they were great!
ufez pro 4 hours ago
@nikkuneko Oh, that's rad! Unfortunately that issue that has taken some damage - looks like something wet was laid on top of it for a bit so the cover got all wrinkled.

And thanks! It's not by choice (change in ownership of the place I've been), but I'm actually kind of stoked about the place I was able to find. Other than the physical/financial pain of moving, I'm hoping this will wind up being a positive thing.

I'm wondering about that detached arm at the bottom, partially behind the snare drum. Did it drum an arm loose?
joost 3 days ago
Looks great.
(Probably AI though)
bitslayer 3 days ago
Yeah, the loose arms do seem to imply a nonhuman artist, but my wife reads some Japanese and says the katakana on the side does phonetically say Tokyo Jazz Club and the kanji at the bottom looks like a plausible address in Tokyo. Google Maps shows no current club in Tokyo of that name.
