Dear diary,
I’m not sure what happened after I blacked out in the sirens’ lair. When I finally awoke, I was in the arms of an angelic, mermaid princess! I thought I had died and gone to undersea heaven! She told me I was alive and not to fear. Her father, King Triton, had sent his agents to rescue me from their blood-thirsty cousins. They say I’m “the chosen one”, foretold to complete a great task… When I finally met with King Triton, however, I was handed a toolbox and plunger and then sent down to the trenches. What’s so great about that?!… I wonder if he’s mad that I touched his daughter’s clam…
Pete
For April Fool's Day, I decided to build a tribute to my favorite fool from Bart's "Clumsy Pete" series.
Vignette 15/52 - "8x8x52 Project"
My goal is to build at least one 8x8 base vignette per week, for a consecutive 52 weeks. This is build 15 of 52.
It's been a quiet sort of week. The fact you've been sick had been enough to shake you out of the funk you're in.
Now, it's just time to see if you know how to move past what you were.

This was shot for a production of the Sam Shepard play "Fool for Love," incorporating themes from the play and putting to use my '64 Chevy pickup.

For those that do travel on to Stockton Beach, there are plenty of signs warning not to take your vehicles into the sand dunes outside the recreational vehicle area. Yet fools persist.
The challenge was to see how quickly they, a team of vintage tractor enthusiasts, could assemble an old tractor. The answer is: pretty quickly!
One lone hydrangea dared to bloom in January, fooled by the unseasonably warm weather, only to be frozen in its prime by the first freeze. Bayside, NYC -- 1//7/16
Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!
Bright and yellow, hard and cold
Molten, graven, hammered and rolled,
Heavy to get and light to hold,
Hoarded, bartered, bought and sold,
Stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled,
Spurned by young, but hung by old
To the verge of a church yard mold;
Price of many a crime untold.
Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!
Good or bad a thousand fold!
How widely it agencies vary,
To save - to ruin - to curse - to bless -
As even its minted coins express :
Now stamped with the image of Queen Bess,
And now of a bloody Mary.
.................... Thomas Hood
"Then he told them a parable: ‘There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, “What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops.” Then he said, “This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, and I will say to my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time.” But God said to him, “Fool! This very night the demand will be made for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whose will it be then?” So it is when a man stores up treasure for himself in place of making himself rich in the sight of God.’"
– Luke 12:16-21, which is part of today's Gospel at Mass.

A shot from today's dress rehearsal of 'The Nutcracker' by Scottish Ballet, which opens at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh this weekend and is on until January 3rd.

I had a lot of fun shooting this. Dance is about as difficult as it comes to shoot...but that's what makes it fun. There's a lot of frustration from moments that you inevitably miss, but the ones that you manage to catch, are a joy.
You can see other shots from this production, here:
My thanks are due to Christina Riley and Ann Nugent from Scottish Ballet.

Due to recent government austerity measures we can't afford a Christmas tree this year so instead the girls have decided to decorate me instead.
Just hope the cat doesn't climb up me like she did the tree last year! this is my last pair of tights and if she ladders them well I won't say what might happen
A four move checkmate. This "fool's mate", as it is sometimes known, is only useful on novice players. Anyone who plays chess with any degree of competency can see through it quite quickly.
A fool for all seasons.

"Unit 9S"
"Yes, POD 042?"
"You look different"
9S sighed for a moment longer as he looked ahead. "The bead is a new touch. The hair coloring..I've had to adapt. I know so too did 2B and A2 and a few others."
And truthfully, that is the nature of life itself, adapt and survive. We'll see how long this lesson sticks with me. - Nines, "Joker",et al.
Whilst waiting on platform 3 at Redhill, this poster advertising the 'Only Fools & Horses' musical caught my eye.
A northbound Thameslink service departs from platform 2 formed of 'Pride' liveried unit 700 155. The livery does at least add some colour to these drab liveried trains.
The Fool is one of the 78 cards in a tarot deck. In tarot card reading, it is one of the 22 Major Arcana, sometimes numbered as 0 (the first) or XXI (the last). However, in decks designed for playing traditional tarot card games, it is typically unnumbered, as it is not one of the 21 trump cards and instead serves a unique purpose by itself.
Interpretations
In many esoteric systems of tarot card interpretation, the Fool is interpreted as the protagonist of a story, and the Major Arcana is the path the Fool takes through the great mysteries of life. This path is known traditionally in cartomancy as the "Fool's Journey", and is frequently used to introduce the meaning of Major Arcana cards to beginners.
The Fool card is associated with:
Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment. [If the card is] Reversed: Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity.

Hello and welcome to the Dead Fool's Dance
where music from the grave brings on a trance.
The bones of jesters hop and spin
and glance at you with a skeleton grin.
Beneath the full moon they've set a trap
to lure more fools into an unending nap.
A circle of skulls lies at their feet
around a flickering fire that gives off no heat.
Those victims who came to hear them play
listened too much and are there to stay.
Beware odd tunes on an Autumn night
else the Dead Fool's Dance be your last sight.

Fools in love they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know,
Because this fool's in love again

There is a magical spot on the Metolius River.
Well, actually there are Many magical spots, but this one is extra special. Deep deep pools with huge redside rainbow trout lay waiting for the perfect fly presentation. They are at tad technical, a tad finicky, and a tad lazy just milling about and coming up from down deep to give the eager fisher a tease at what 'could' be their next catch.
And the fisher does come to the call of the wild trout.
And they all stay longer here than any other spot on the river...tying, trying, casting and cursing.
It is known as "the idiot hole", but for the few that actually do catch here, it's pure fool's gold.
(as with all my shots, the only enhancement I might ever do is crop. So like the previous shot, Yes, this IS the real color of the water, at dusk)
