my crazy schedule pictorial [best if viewed in the set... cause there it's in order]: for an undetermined amout of time i've got a ridiculous schedule. doing a paper route and my regular job [plant accountant/company bitch]. thought i'd show you just how ridiculous this all is.

and you thought i was done!
this is from the earlier train stop. it was so damn hot i had my ac on 4. nice "windblown" effect.

you might wonder why i'm not asleep [though probably not]. it's cause i'm a genius. when i went to buy gas i realized i left my wallet at work. [i'm a genius]. so i had to go to the bank and get more money, and blah blah blah. here i am. i should mention this is now the second critical thing i'm without. the first thing i lost would be the cell. though i was less torn up about that.
Callirhoe species, one of the standing winecups. Bauerle Ranch Park, Austin. First that I have seen this year.
This is an older photo. I have flat bars, different wheels (one wore out and the other was stolen), a 48t instead of the 46t here, Shimano 959 SPDs, a better seatpost (this one pictured came out in small pieces), a comfy and light Serfas seat. Lastly, the bike is set up as a single speed with FR (Shimano 105) brakes and a freewheel.
I have the flat bars because I couldn't figure out where to put brake levers on these handlebars because of the numerous hand positions - none of which are good for brake levers. I didn't want the silly cross levers.
As it turns out, working as a messenger in NYC with a single speed is faster than a fixed gear. As the traffic and congestion worsens and the j-walking pedestrians and NYPD become stupider, the need to carve through everything like tight New England single track becomes more apparent.
There is a certain glamor to high speed sprints through one of the busiest cities in the world on a very simple and lightweight bike with no brakes. On many days I miss it but on many days I don't.
At some point I would like a real road fork to improve the handling of this thing with brakes. With a new road fork (Easton carbon if I can) I would love a new stem and bars (Easton XC90 and Monkey Light) as well as a shiny new, red Chris King headset.
It will be hilarious to have such high end parts on a welded, Chinese-made track frame that's been through absolute hell. I figured I should keep the frame as long as it holds together, just as an experiment.
Of course that can change with my finances.
In this photo and the ones near it, I was visiting my long-time friend Stacey in her little apartment "across the street from the Long Island Sound" in Stratford, CT. She was in and out of the hospital in neighboring Bridgeport, CT for a serious blood clot in her leg. I would take the train from Grand Central Terminal to Stratford with my big red messenger bag and my bike. I rode from the train station downtown to her apartment a few miles away. From there I would borrow her car to drive to the hospital if she was there or just visit and help her with things in her apartment.
I took the time to go to the beach (which I miss) and just relax.
Kindness trumps greed: it asks for sharing. Kindness trumps fear: it calls forth gratefulness and love. Kindness trumps even stupidity, for with sharing and love, one learns.

Puebla., Puebla a 28 de Noviembre 2016
-La empresa ARTA Producciones lo hizo posible, Ricky Martin en Puebla con su “ONE WORLD RICKY MARTIN TOUR 2016”.
Con un escenario que lucía espectacular, conformado por luces móviles, pantallas gigantes de alta definición que combinaba con un agradable aspecto visual, fue parte de la producción que dio realce el magnífico evento que presentó el artista boricua durante casi dos horas.
“Estuve a punto de cancelar este concierto en Puebla, porque no tengo buena voz; todo es por ustedes, que sea lo que Dios quiera, me ayudan” con estas palabras el cantante Ricky Martin piso el escenario ante más de cinco mil personas que acudieron este domingo al Centro de Espectáculos Acrópolis en la capital Poblana
Como era de esperarse Ricky Martin dejo todo en el escenario con gran entusiasmo y ánimo interpretó temas que son un éxito “Mr. Put it Down”, “Shake Your Bon-bon” y “Livin, la vida loca”. Acompañado por ocho bailarines, entre hombres y mujeres, formaron el cuerpo de baile durante las vistosas coreografías.
Cada movimiento de cadera y paso sensual del puertorriqueño arrancaba suspiros y gritos de sus seguidoras que abarrotaron el coloso de la colonia Maravillas.
El momento romántico-nostálgico de la noche la capturo con baladas icono del artista “Tal vez”, “Fuego de noche, nieve de día” y “Vuelve”, “A medio vivir”.
Y así como lograba llenar de melancolía el momento, también le devolvía la alegría con solo decir “Vente’paca”, su reciente sencillo que interpreta con Maluma.
En un momento de reflexión Ricky Martin aprovecho para mandar este mensaje: “Desde Puebla podemos mandarle todo ese amor que necesita en estos momentos Estados Unidos, yo sé que si se puede”.
El ritmo y sabor de temas como “La bomba” y “María” hicieron que sus fans poblana se levantaran de sus asientos y disfrutaran de los movimientos sensuales del cantante.
Ya contagiados por el ritmo de “Por arriba, por abajo”, el cantante realizo su tradicional concurso de dividir el foro en dos y retarlos para ver quiénes son los más ruidosos.
En la recta final del concierto el boricua intentó despedirse sin éxito, el público lo regresó al escenario para seguir bailando al ritmo de “Pégate” y “La copa de la vida”.
Las luces se apagaron y el público quería más y Ricky Martin, no dudó en complacerlo con “La mordidita” terminando con gran algarabía la noche de “One World Tour” por Puebla.

This is different view of an earlier post "Waiting for the Storm" in my "Old Houses..." set. Located in northern Tama Co., Iowa.
Bit of an experiment this one, with multiple lighting. Kind of worked. Well it worked a lot better than i expected it to anyway :) Any ideas how to get a better result in the future?
09.16 -- SONJ's 7th annual One More Tri (triathlon/duathlon/aquavelo) was held on Sunday, September 16, 2018 in Asbury Park. One More Tri is unique because it serves as SONJ's only combination fundraiser and SONJ competition event. This year's event raised more than $70,000.
I've got some new light paintings to share and a few ideas that I want to accomplish soon.
