I know there are aspens somewhere in So Cal...

October 16, 1974: long time now.
What I take from this is that so many people opened their homes that they did not need to use all of them, and that they wrote thank you letters to everyone who did so.

This looks trippy AF

Just saved this little guy who was stuck in my neighbour's recycling bin. He was causing a helluva racket.

some helpful thoughts for those of us in the northern hemisphere as we head into the season of low vitamin D

I've been deep in homeowner DIY-world the past few weeks, doing mold remediation work throughout the house, recently painting parts of our ancient basement. When I put on the full protective gear, I thought it would be funny to take a selfie for my family. I also noticed a costume viking helmet nearby, so added that to the gear. This snap was accidental, I was checking the timer settings when I got it. It makes me laugh, like I'm some demented Muppet Show character.

I have been meaning to post a photo of these shelves for ages and realized that it would be a perfect substitute for the my9albums app, except I have to list out the album titles:

Brian Eno/David Byrne "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"
King Crimson "Larks' Tongues in Aspic"
Autechre "Amber"
Jorge Ben "A Tábua de Esmeralda"
Can "Ege Bamyasi"
Parliament "Mothership Connection"
My Bloody Valentine "Loveless"
Velvet Underground "White Light/White Heat"
Stooges "Funhouse"

Back in mid July I decided I wanted to plant something other than the weeds that were dying in my planter out by the sidewalk, so I ordered some cosmo seeds. My first attempt was not successful (poor watering plan) and nothing sprouted. Undaunted, I tried again, even though it was now mid August. I thought I had failed again but my little plants finally sprouted and began very slowly growing. Just about the time they began to bud, the weather did a very Seattle thing and went from sunny and 70s to overcast, drizzly, and down into the 40s at night. Today the first bud finally fully opened in spite of everything and a couple more might just possibly bloom before they succumb to the cold.

And now I know how to get them going which means next summer is going to be lousy with the things.

Thursday is a travel day. I leave Waltham ~8:40 and arrive on MV at 12:45… usually. Then I need to catch a bus to Edgartown.

Sometimes, most times in the summer actually, I can’t make it to the coffee shop before they close at 1:30.

Today was not that day.

Among my favorite spots in the world.
