"Compass Rose," a mixed media piece. The background picture is a picture of -- wait for it -- garlic knot crumbs in olive oil -- and the top picture is a mirrored picture of a bridge. Both were edited from the mundane into bubblegum magicalness. What kind of world do you think this compass would be for?

My grandfather fought in the Somme and as his birthday is due, This compass was issued to him as an officer during that conflict. He never spoke of his time in the trenches and was gassed twice. He lived to the ripe old age of 93 having worked on the Railways before and during privatisation. He was appalled at what happened to his beloved railway, he refused my Father permission to join the railway and he subsequently became a solicitors clerk before he joined the RAF. My Grandfather was also serving in the ATC and the scouts at the same time.
The compass is still accurate today as it was over a hundred years ago.
The Golden Compass is an anti-Christian movie, based on an anti-Christian book. I agree with this, having read and enjoyed all three books in the series. Note I say enjoyed. I’ve read all sorts of heretical books. They didn’t prevent me from eventually rejecting atheism and finding faith any more than the New York Times did.
Compass in particular is not just any sort of heretical book. It is Gnostic in its theology. The God of Christianity who created the world and angels and the carnal and spiritual natures of man is split, in the Gnostic conception, onto two gods: The Creator who begat angels and human spirits then withdrew from his creation; and the Demiurge who imprisoned the spirit sparks of mankind in gross matter and doomed them to hell while demanding worship as Yahweh. Gnosticism, then, reverses the moral relation between Lucifer the Lightbringer and Yahweh the Demiurge. Obviously this leads directly to Satanism and all sorts of dangerous moral choices. So the fact that Pullman went into Gnosticism didn’t phase me, for I had already encountered the glamor and falseness of the Gnostic worldview, and rejected it.
The Gnostic worldview, and its moral inversion, is also on display in National Geographic’s terrible mistranslation of the Gospel of Judas, a gnostic text that was published last year, and retranslated this year, reversing almost all the controversial conclusions.
And of course the whole conceit behind The DaVinci Code, with Jesus shacking up with Mary Magdalene and founding the Merovingian dynasty, was more Gnostic (in the sense of “hidden knowledge”) claptrap spawned from the same conspiracy theorizing that inspired Holy Blood, Holy Grail. It reduces Jesus to just an ancestor of a European King, rather than the Son of God, and is typical of the Arian heresy that has somehow found its resurgence not only in many modern-day Christian sects but also in Islam.
Back to Pullman. The book that the His Dark Materials reminded me of most was Job, by Robert A. Heinlein, which I read probably 20 years ago. The conceit behind Job is that God and the Devil have a wager over whether the protagonist will end up in Heaven or Hell. The twist is that Hell is actually a nicer place, run by a nicer guy, than Heaven.
I believe that one should find inspiration in the knowledge of what one opposes, not in remaining ignorant of it.

Thirty years ago, as a painter, I had a studio. That fairy tale come true lasted for four years and three months before I went into the Navy. I always wanted another studio, a devil may care place to dream and create. For a couple of decades, it remained an elusive fairy tale dream. Now I find myself in the fairy tale again.
I wore green at work today for St. Patrick's Day. After work, I attacked the West wall, all 100 feet of it, with a vengance. Underneath the paneling and wallpaper I found eggshell blue to complement the institutional green on the East wall.

She left yesterday on her adventure - over a year long! First stop is with luckybells in Ohio!
In addition to her T-shirt and sweater outfit that I made, she has a custom box with a protective quilted blanket (great for packing and sleeping! :D), and of course, her dearest confidante, Teddy.

The second 'Honk for Hope' UK coach event took place in Blackpool on 14/07/2020 and attracted around 200 coaches for a convoy along the M55 and along the Promenade before returning to the South Car Park at the end of Yeadon Way.
The purpose of the event was to raise awareness of the plight many operators currently find themselves in. The UK government has offered no financial help to coach operators due to the Covid pandemic almost wiping out their businesses.
The event was very well organised and attracted plenty of media coverage along with enthusiasts possibly enjoying their only event this year!
Compass Bus Enviro 200 MX62 AKY in Haywards Heath this morning, 23rd February, 2022. It was new to Sheffield Community Transport and also served Seaford and District.
Former Arriva London DW126 (LJ05 BNK) is one of three DAF DB250 Wright Pulsar Geminis currently in the Compass Bus fleet and was caught working an 8A service on Worthing seafront on 6th November, 2018.
One of the oldest coaches in the Compass Royston fleet at the time of my visit on 24th April, 2009, this Volvo B10M-61 Plaxton Paramount 3500 had been new to Wallace Arnold as FUA 382Y. It would be sold to a County Durham operator in the Summer although I am not sure whether it was used by them.
One of Compass Bus' relatively new Enviro200s, SN66WKC, passes along West St in Chichester yesterday.
What did we ever do without our smartphones???? ;D

One of the big, bold sunflowers now starting to poke up high above the other plants in the prairies. It has it's common name because supposedly the large leaves at the bottom of the plant turn themselves toward the east and west to catch the sun, therefore the leaves point north or south. My observation is that this is not too reliable.
With grateful thanks to:
