PEOPLE
Remember this from years ago?
This would be me showing up to the courtroom if a UPS truck dented my fender.
I knew a guy who worked at the DMV and he didn't hate people even after years on the job. I was amazed.
If your woman doesn't own clothing with these fasteners is she even trying?
I was wrong. I used to think that people who climbed mountains and such were wasting their time. I now think that anything and everything you can do to enjoy life as long as it doesn't harm another is not only justifiable but should be encouraged.
I am a maker of things. I got hung up on the mountain climbing activity yielding no object. I was foolish and let my own bias taint my reasoning.
I am not a celebrity worshiper but I do respect their work. Imagine waking up, having a cup of coffee, getting dressed, then faking this kind of emotion...over and over again.
And you do it with a dozen people standing mere feet away.
If you want to make some memories add some tequila.
Imagine you get murdered and some girl skips your episode of Forensic Files because it's boring.
PLACES
This is how they heated the public baths.
When I lived in Germany I blew three motors in my 1956 VW convertible. With a friend, I learned how to drop a motor out of a wrecked car in a junk yard and place it in my car in less than an hour - there are only four bolts. I always picked the car which appeared to have sustained major damage in a high-speed collision - figuring if it could go that fast then the motor must be good. We were not always successful in that assumption.
Titillating all the senses - strange sounds, smells, the wafting breeze, constant movement, and, of course, the taste of food and drink.
I would guess there is an entire crew that does nothing but maintain the health of that magnificent living thing.
I'm more of a safety railing kind of guy.
Can you imagine the pride you would have had you taken that photograph?
WARNING: Truth is the first casualty of war.
The person whom I respect more than anyone thinks I have been hoodwinked in my condemnation of Russia. She asserts the sins of Ukraine have been ignored. More at a later date.
Here's an idea: Why don't we take All Lives Matter and make it the slogan for Medicare for all?
Witch: You killed my sister!
Dorothy: Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't control my flying fucking house.
THINGS
I am presently working on one of the best boxes to date. But because of computer problems, I can not download images from my camera. Stay tuned.

I may be mistaken but I think that is more of a boat that "flies" mere feet off the surface of the water.
Did you notice the massive counterweights?
I think the fish are responding to the vibrations of the man's voice.
But some fish do seem obsessed with what's happening outside their tank.
And if everybody was as stupid both of those structures would vanish.
Upon retirement, my brother was given a flag that flew over the Capital.
But then I learned that there is more than one flag pole atop the Capital Building. One of them is used to raise and immediately lower a flag, then another, then another, etc, for just such gifts as the flag my brother was given. Am I wrong to think that sort of cheapens it?
I taught at one of the oldest and most beautiful schools in my city. On the day they rolled in two mobile classrooms and plopped them down on the front lawn the school board approved a brand new administration building.
And remember, students have to make that walk rain or shine.
BTW the mobiles are still there after 20 years.
Do you think it plucked it out of the air or just plucked it off the ceiling?

I think Cinderella should have lived happily ever after with all of her animal friends rather than settle for a man who had her try on a shoe because he didn't recognize her without makeup.
Harry wakes up.
"Welcome back," says the doctor, "You've been in a coma for 8 years since you ran face first into that wall."

I can't believe Tiger King was the most normal part of 2020.
I want to see the look on the burglar’s face when he opens the drawer full of soy sauce packets, wet naps, & individually wrapped sporks.
ITEMS I JUST DON'T GET
Stuffed?
What's up with the cable?
Whaaaaat?
Do the kids just dive right in like a pig trough?
I had a Biology teacher in high school who never wore shoes when not at school, but that looks like a whole family.
Maybe a foreign language?
I wondered why a guy in a tux would wear flip-flops then I saw this unrelated pic that could explain it...
????
Why?
It's probably from a movie I haven't watched but I'm still confused as to how that could make sense.
COVID UPDATE
My No.1 Advisor sent me these and wanted me to read them. Now I'm asking you to read them. Please.
The mechanism of SARS2? Endothelial damage. In plain English? Covid-19 fucks up the lining of your blood vessels. All 60,000 miles of it. Blood vessels lack nerves. You feel OK as it eats your arteries. Doesn't mean it's "mild." It means the endothelium isn't innervated.
So, what happens when the endothelium is damaged? Well, the first thing to go are your capillaries and arterioles. They're the smallest blood vessels. One endothelial cell thick. If the endothelium is damaged, they can disappear, get clogged, leak. This won't show up on Xray.
What happens when your microvessels get fucked up? Microvessels are where all the exchanges that keep you alive take place. Oxygen gets from your lungs to your blood there. Nutrients get from your intestines to your blood there. The bad stuff is filtered out there.
So now imagine that those processes can't happen. Or can't happen like they used to. Your skin starves. Your kidneys get polluted. Your labs look normal. Your brain dies a little. Your eyes go bad. You don't die. Your government tells you you're fine. It was mild!
But you'll notice: Your heart beats too hard now. You feel things you didn't used to. If that capillaries die in your inner ear, you might not hear as well. You might hear ringing. People will say this is Long Covid. But here's a secret: It's just covid. This is what it does.
Your overlords have misled you, and you have lapped it up because you like authority and dislike being scared. You want to trust them. It's easier than realizing the people who are supposed to care, don't. They don't care if you die. They don't care if you're sick.
Everyone is in on the lie. If you send your kids into the world to get this artery-killing virus over and over, you're in on the lie. You'd never let them smoke and drink, because you care about their hearts. But Covid is worse. We tell you this. Show you studies. You don't care.
Your doctors? Most don't care, either. They are automatons. Med school weeded out the creative thinkers. They'll give you inadequate tests because the AMA hasn't come up with adequate tests yet. No one is thinking. They follow lists someone else wrote.
Using a CRP test to look for microvascular damage is like using the naked eye to look for distant galaxies. Won't work. Your doctor will say this means you're fine. Men like your doctor threw Galileo in a tower without ever looking in his telescope.
The president said covid is over, and you believed him. Many of you thought it never existed. Many of you who thought that have died of covid. Or will. You cannot express your regrets for being that stupid once you're already dead, so you are very quiet about this now.
It's not over. Americans are lazy as fuck. Easily bored. Attention span shorter than that of a goldfish, according to science. Whiny. Tired of playing covid, so let's just stop playing covid now. Let's do a laugh emoji when you try to warn us, because covid is boring.
Mutations are what cause evolution. Most of you don't believe in evolution. You don't believe in covid. So you sure as hell don't care about mutated covid viruses. You believe in bullying. It's what we do, as a people. We puff up our chests. We beat them. We beat everyone.
We beat everyone by being brave. So we beat covid by getting bored and saying we weren't afraid of a little cold, while that "cold" ate our arteries. I watch all of this and feel...something. What, exactly, I can't say anymore. Used to be despair. Despair that you're this dumb.
Despair that your stupidity will kill us all. It will seem slow. It's not slow. It will be lightning quick, in geologic time. In evolutionary time. Carlin was right. We are a cul de sac. An evolutionary cul de sac. And so it's not despair anymore. I feel this other thing.
I feel a solidarity. Solidarity with all the other people who see what's happening. What's being allowed to happen by people who know and don't care. We are living through a dark time. And you know what? It is quite likely the darkest time in human history. Right now.
So, how do we do it? How did the enlightened people live through dark times in the past? How is it done? This, I don't know. But I think that's what we need to learn now. There's no one left to be educated. They either know and don't care, or they don't care to know.
I knew the collective delusions before. Lived with the marginalizations and dehumanizations every day. The lack of equity. Not fun. But I could live with that. I can't live with this. How do I avoid the air of this shared atmosphere? How do I avoid the breath of fools?

I think she's all rummed up.
This is very subtle. Get it right and I will send the first correct answer one of my installations if you send me a self-addressed stamped envelope.
