you can't tell here but my room is huge. So i've started this thing were i wear that wing earing thing on my left ear everyday now. I love it so much. Speaking of love, i'm going to write a few things i've been thinking about today, that i love. Oh how i love the weather here, we haven't used a.c ONCE since we came here friday, it's great.
˜LoVe˜
√doing yoga while the wind blows in
√jonel sanjuan
√jolly rancher hard or soft candy
√home made food
√wearing boots everyday
√the sound of laughter from strangers
√the feeling of my hand gliding across the page, in my journal, as i scribble down my thoughts, new ideas, and etc
√music i haven't listened to in forever
√eating dinner with family, just bonding together
√the endless amount of things to learn in this life
Short of revival, the most honourable end for abandonment is letting it all fall down naturally. I'm a firm believer in the beauty of dereliction, so it always brings me down to see a story cut short. This barn is hidden from prying eyes, so maybe the firesetters and bulldozers will miss it too. If all else fails, this is exactly the ending I always dream of witnessing. No one comes through here by chance. The old driveway is overgrown and invisible, the former home nothing but a foundation, and the fields were farmed so long ago that they've almost fully reverted to forests. William Durland raised these walls long before anyone living was born. When they come down, it might well be the last thing raised by his hands to crumble. Most of us don't measure the notion of leaving things behind – it's hard enough building a life without the weight of legacy. I don't worry much if my memory lasts, that'll be up to you in my absence. Maybe there's an afterdeath after all.

Cottony Cushion Scale (Icerya purchasi). Thanks for the id wildernesscam.
1.3 cm long, on trunk of 'wedding bush' (Ricinocarpos glaucus), tended by tiny ants attracted to honeydew excreted by the insect). Perth, Western Australia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icerya_purchasi :
"This scale infests twigs and branches. The mature hermaphrodite is oval in shape, reddish-brown with black hairs, 5 mm long. When mature, the insect remains stationary, attaches itself to the plant by waxy secretions, and produces a white egg sac in grooves, by extrusion, in the body which encases hundreds of red eggs. The egg sac will grow to be two to three times as long as the body."
The first NFL Monday Night Football game is in the books, and like all games, one team has left their fans at home while their team played on the road. What more could fans want than to have that stadium feel even if the game was being played else where. Well the Baltimore Ravens organization did the next best thing, and opened up part of M & T Bank Stadium for fans to come out to the stadium hear some live entertainment by well known local band called All Time Low, gather with other fans, eat some stadium food, have some drinks, and appearances by Ravens Legends LB Adalius Thomas and CB Chris McAlister, Ravens Cheerleaders, Playmakers and Poe. The highlight of the evening, was the fans cheering the Ravens on as they watched them play the Las Vegas Raiders on the RavensVision boards and tv's located throughout the main concourse.

I hate mice! But this is the BIG family of my granddaughter.
The only thing she does after coming home from school and before bedtime is to play all afternoon with these tiny things she calls family...

This Volkswagen Thing at the Englishtown show was clearly a topline model. Not only was that obvious by its white and light blue two-tone paint job,. but it also had a fiberglass top to boot. :-)
The vase was another 75 percent off find at a local Roberts that was closing. The lollipops were covered with simple images of Thing 1 and Thing 2. www.diyingtobedomestic.wordpress.com

Maudlynne begins to wonder if perhaps she needs a new eyeglasses prescription.
No, dear, you're seeing that right. Or wrong, as the case may be.
This is from the website of a chick who promises to help you "write better stories."
This from a chick who claims to have written her most recent "best seller," The 15-Minute Writer, in under ten days.
Apparently one way to streamline the production process is to skip those pesky editing and proof-reading steps.
I know, I know, this could be a mere oversight. It happens. It even happens to me. In fact, when I post these grammar rants online, I usually go back a half-dozen or more times to revise them for clarity and, yes, punctuation errors. Grammar and punctuation errors in a grammar and punctuation rant are a bit more ironic than even I usually intend.
It's just... it's just that I've only looked at two "Writer" web sites this evening, and they both prominently display fairly egregious punctuation errors. Both sites are trying to sell their services to would-be indie authors.
Maybe... no, probably I'm just envious. After all, this chick... okay, I should be more respectful and less sexist... this #1 Amazon best-selling author, speaker, and strategy and success mindset coach "has been featured on Huffington Post, Copyblogger, Problogger, MindBodyGreen, StoryFix, Helping Writers Become Authors, and more."
Whereas all I can claim to have accomplished is... uhhh... having typed snarky online diatribes about people who are more successful, not to mention younger, thinner, and better looking, than I am while basking in the petty self-satisfaction of knowing the difference between a possessive and a plural.
The Type 181 off-road vehicle, called the Thing in America - because what else would you call it? - was popular among VW enthusiasts but not so popular with anyone else. It was too spartan and lacked basic safety features . . . like seat belts.
This is a real SUV, sporty and utilitarian, a light-truck-type car meant for outdoorsmen, not for soccer moms and computer nerds. This is a 1973 model.

(PHOTOS AND STORY BY MY BROTHER JEFF, CHICAGO, IL).
My apartment burned up late Saturday night. Luckily I was out drinking while it went a blaze because my room was pretty much completely ravaged by flame and then subsequently destroyed by the firemen with axes and hoses. I lost a lot of stuff, but I was able to salvage my musical equipment and my photographs. Half of my clothes were destroyed along with all of my furniture and kitchen stuff. It has been a crazy few days, hence why I haven't posted anything since it happened. I'm back in Cleveland right now for a few days to unwind but I'll be back in Chicago starting Monday. I'll be moving into my new place, cleaning the smoke and water off my belongings and slowly starting to rebuild my life. I didn't have renters insurance (who does?) so when I get back to Chicago I'll be setting up some kind of benefit show/dance party to try and ease the financial pain that I'm going through right now. Another bummer about the fire was that about 200 copies of our 7" were under my bed during the fire. We were able to find most of them but they suffered severe water damage to the jackets which we had to discard but i would say that we were able to salvage about 95% of the vinyl (the most important part). So if you've already got your hands on one with the original cover art, hold on to it because the only others that exist are only available through the internet or physical distro and there aren't many of them. So that's all the info I have right now... The most important thing though is that I'm ok and having this happen really puts things into perspective so I just wanted to let everyone how much I look forward to seeing you again, alive and healthy, all that fucking matters...
Keep on keepin on...

We recently had a week’s holiday to take – Jayne’s job dictates my holidays – we went through the usual process of leaving it late and then desperately selecting a shortlist of cities where we thought the weather might be ok, after a reasonably short flight and we can fly from the north of England. Budapest was the chosen destination.
Budapest is touted as possibly the most beautiful city in Europe and we had a stream of people tell us that it was fantastic. It is. I was looking forward to getting there, no agenda other than walking, photographing the sights and trying to get off the beaten track. We certainly walked – over 70 miles – I photographed it ( I’m a bit embarrassed to say how many shots but it was a lot ) but I’m not sure we got off the beaten track as much as I wanted to.
We flew over Eastern England (and home actually – a first for us) and out over Europe. It was a late afternoon flight on a stunning day, one of the more interesting flights I’ve had. I was glued to the window watching the world go by, wondering about all of lives being played out beneath us. It was dark when we arrived. We were staying on the Buda or Castle Hill side of the city. What we didn’t know was, we were staying in one of the most prominent hotels in the city, sat on the hilltop overlooking Budapest. The Hilton sits on an historic sight and features in every photo taken of the Castle District from Pest. We had time to get out before bedtime and photograph the Matthias Church next door – floodlit – like all of the major buildings in Budapest.
Unfortunately after leaving the best weather of the year in the UK, Budapest was forecast to be a bit dull and cool – not what we wanted. There was occasional sun over the first two days but it was generally grey. Now I have to admit, I let the dullness get me down, I took photos because I wasn’t sure how the week would unfold but I was fairly sure that I was wasting my time. The photos would be disappointing and if it was sunny later we would have to revisit all of the famous landmarks again to get something that I was happy with. This is essentially what happened. The next four days were gorgeous and we did revisit, more than once all of the places that we walked to in the first two days. This meant that we didn’t have the time to go “off piste” or venture further afield as much later in the week.
The sun was rising before seven and we were staying in the best location for watching it rise. By day three I was getting up at 6.00 (5.00 our time) and getting out there with my gear. By day four I was using filters and tripod, not something I usually bother with despite always having this gear with me, and dragging it miles in my backpack. One morning I was joined by a large and noisy party of Japanese photographers, they appeared to have a model with them who danced around the walls of the Fisherman’s Bastion being photographed. Once the orange circle started to appear above the city they started clicking at the horizon like machine guns. We all got on well though and said goodbye as we headed off for breakfast – still only 7.15am.
By 8.00am everyday we were out on foot wandering along the top of Castle Hill wondering where to go that day. We tend to discover the sights as we walk on a city break, frequently discovering things as we head for a distant park or building and research it afterwards with a glass of wine. It works for us. We walked out to Heroes’ Square and beyond, returning by less well known streets. We walked along the Danube to Rákóczi Bridge a couple of times then back into Pest using a different route. Having been under the thumb of Russia for so long and considering its turbulent past there are lots of large Russian style monuments, tributes to great struggles, or the working man – very socialist and very much like Prague in a lot of respects. The Railway stations were also very similar to Prague, you could walk across the tracks and no one bothered. In the main station, now famed for the migrant crisis a few weeks previously, there was a mixture of very new and very old rolling stock from the surrounding countries, all very interesting. Considering that this station is the first thing some visitors to the city will see it is an appalling state. One side of the exterior is shored up and fenced off. This contrasts with the expensive renovation work that has been well executed in the city centre. It really is like stepping into the past when you enter the station building. It all seems to work efficiently though, unlike the UK.
Transport in Budapest is fascinating. Trams everywhere, trolley buses, ancient and new, bendybuses, again, very old and very new, the underground metro, yellow taxis in enormous numbers and of course the river and boats. This never ending eclectic mix seems to operate like clockwork with people moved around in vast numbers seamlessly. The trams looked packed at any time of day. Anyone dealing with tourists seemed to speak very good English, which is just as well as we didn’t have any grasp of Hungarian. Cost wise it was a very economical week for us in a capital city.
Once the weather (or light, to be precise) improved, I cheered up and really enjoyed Budapest. A common comment after visiting is that , although you’ve “done Budapest” you wouldn’t hesitate to go back, which isn’t always the case after a city visit. As ever, I now have a lot of work to do to produce a competent album of work. I think I will end up discarding a lot of the early days material – but then again, I’m not renowned for my discarding skills.
Thank you for looking.
