Note the condition of the shingles. Progressive insurance (Homesite insurance) dropped our insurance giving us a list of reasons. We fixed the items on that list. They then dropped us a 2nd time for new reasons not included in the first list, including "curling shingles" on my roof. The shingles certainly aren't perfect, but do these look like something that's going to fly off my roof and cost an insurance company a lot of money? Of course, we survived Hurricane Irene AND the post-Irene flood storms JUST FINE ... With zero water in our house. Progressive did not even cite our roof the first time they dropped us. Quite simply, Progressive Insurance/Homesite insurance are ASSHOLES. The roof sure as hell does not need to be re-done if it is functioning just fine. Plus, I just patched it with roof cement to strengthen it up even more! Be smart. Stay away from Progressive. Their low prices aren't worth it. The State Corporation Commission has been notified, but since Virginia is a Republican state, our regulatory agencies barely have any teeth.
The tree touching the roof on the right is an example of tree maintenance I did myself with the pole saw.
You can see some of the $3 Home Depot solar lights that we put on the pathway (once you get out of the range of the street light).
Leaves still everywhere from our tree removal.
Also since then, additional gutter guards have been deployed, and they are uniformly and 100% covering the front gutters at least. Had to cut some into custom-sized pieces to get full coverage.
Homesite insurance, Pontiac Bonneville 1993 car, Pontiac Grand Am 1994 vehicle, Progressive insurance, flamingos, gutter, gutter guards, gutters, house maintenance, jack stand, shingles, solar lights.
Homesite insurance sucks. Homesite sucks. Progressive insurance sucks. Progressive sucks.

[Dirt Off Your Shoulder]
[by Jay-Z]
[album: The Black Album]
[Note: there are some not nice words in this song. Enter at your own risk.]
You're now tuned into the muh'fuckin greatest
Turn the music up in the headphones
Tim, you can go and brush your shoulder off nigga
I got you, yeah
[Chorus: Jay-Z]
If you feelin’ like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
[Verse One]
I probably owe it to y'all, probably to be locked by the force
Tryin to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche
Feelin no remorse, feelin like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the law, nigga grippin ma balls
Stab the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin
All the ballers is bouncin, they like the way I be leanin
All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I'm makin
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the Top of the Pops
Nigga London, Japan and I'm straight off the block
Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the block
I can run it back nigga cause I'm straight with the Roc
[Chorus]
[Chorus Two]
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
[Verse Two]
Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin to get me a Rover
Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir
Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya
But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin
Now fifty-two bars come out, now you feel 'em
Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling
In case fifty-two bras come out, now you chillin
with a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve
At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen
paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean
No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real
Jigga.
[Chorus + Chorus Two]
[Verse Three]
Your boy back in the building, Brooklyn we back on the map
Me and my beautiful beeeeeeeitch in the back of that 'Bach
I'm the realest that run it, I just happen to rap
I ain't gotta clap at 'em, niggaz scared of that black
I drop that Black--Album then I, back--out it
As the best rapper alive nigga ask about me
From Bricks to Billboards, from grams to Grammys
The O's to opposite, Orphan Annie
You gotta pardon Jay, for sellin out the Garden in a day
I'm like a young Marvin in his hey'
I'm a hustler homey, you a customer crony
Got some, dirt on my shoulder, could you brush it off for me?
[Chorus + Chorus Two]
You're now tuned into the muh'fuckin greatest
Best rapper alive, best rapper alive
José Pereira (1901 - 1954)
Botocan
signed and dated 1930 (lower left)

9” x 12 1/2” (23 cm x 32 cm)
Opening bid: PHP 80,000
Literature:
ART Philippines. Juan Gatbonton, Jeannie Javelosa,
et. al (eds.). The Crucible Workshop, 1992, p. 94.
From the Alfonso T. Ongpin Collection
Jose Pereira is one of the pre-war painters who produced genre works during the first quarter of the century. He took up painting at the UP School of Fine Arts from 1923-25. A friend of the art patron Alfonso Ongpin, Pereira was among the staff of the Philippines Free Press and became its chief artist later on, producing a weekly cartoon for the publication, but left due to tuberculosis in 1938. His style is marked by bold washes and dramatic atmosphere, as seen in this 1930 work titled Botocan, with a note to Ongpin.
Pereira’s works are noted to be reminiscent of Fernando Amorsolo’s style, specifically the master artist’s backlighting techniques. However, what sets his works apart from Amorsolo’s pieces is his “sweeter” color palette that reveals his penchant for orange hues mixed with pink. In this work, viewers are led to a simpler time in an idyllic landscape through rich impastos and dazzling colors of nature.

I came out of a client's house, after working on their computer for an hour and a half, to find this note on my bike. Which was chained to THEIR "balcony supports."
Rich bastards.

This is the first test image ever taken with my brand new Canon EOS Rebel T3i. The colors were slightly enhanced in Aperture 3 but everything else is directly out of the camera.
I'm happy with this picture because the strange DOF makes it interesting, in my opinion. What do you think?
One of the many love notes Bruce left me throughout the house before he went out of town. Oh, from a better camera than my phone.
This is the note that a couple of cops in a koban in Shizuoka (Japan) gave us in order to reach the TAMIYA headquarter from the train station with a bus during a trip to Japan in 2008.
I don't know what's written in the note (and if it's oriented in the right way), but that day we reached the TAMIYA headquarter and they were waiting for us with a map to get back to the station: M E M O R A B L E moments!
If you can translate this note please leave a comment!! I'm really curious...!
A detailed story of that day is here.
These fine eloquent hands hold a diary, closed for takeoff of our flight, but previously open and into which this gentleman had added notes extensively in wonderful handwritten script, the details, I imagined, of his journey. His note taking included drawings, sketches of birds, and trees, that I could see. It seemed a treasure he held in his hands. He had fallen asleep holding it tightly, as I took this photo, trying not to disturb. It was held, it seemed, as something highly treasured, as the light seems to tell here.
The Author's note tells the latin name of the fish and plant in the book.
This blank journal was made for a silent auction at a benefit event. It's a sturdy little book weighing in at approximately 200 pages (lightweight acid free sketch paper, hand stitched by me!) and measuring 6"x7". The end papers are green mulberry paper with silver silk-screened leaves. The cover is faux leather with a solvent transfer of the - no joke- Toad Lumpsucker (latin name fish on it. This biological drawing was found in a 1921 edition of the Fisheries Journal - I used a solvent transfer method to print it onto blue paper. the fish is "inlaid" into the cover, not just glued on.The end bands at the top and bottom of the text block are hand sewn on, and the journal has a hollow back which enables it to lay flat when opened!
