Note inserted on a separate sheet of paper with my new house insurance. It's the first proper evidence I've seen of the effect of the European referendum on me, directly - without directly attributing it to Brexit.
What it's saying is that I have bought a policy from a company that intends to move its head office from the UK to Luxembourg soon. This means if I have any complaints about their service, the local authorities will only be able to deal with a 'branch' of the company, not the company itself. To do that, I am obliged to consult one of three alternatives, two of whom I have never heard of (because my mother tongue is not French). It could also suggest various other things, but I will leave the viewer to decide what they are.
But what it says to me is that this is the thin end of the wedge. Expect to see more and more of this, particularly as your various insurance policies expire. How are we 'taking back control', if all the smart money is shipping out?
One of the games we started at the Wynn was to leave notes for each other in the elevator bank. This is just one of many, and I swear some people took them because they thought they were funny. This was inspired by a private joke and meeting Nick Manning.
Okay, this looks like a picture of a boy and a cat. It was a cat that lived at the Chapel of Peace on top of the mountains overlooking Acapulco.
I don't know what else to say other than this cat was like... the toughest badass cat I'd ever seen.
He was all beat up looking, missing part of an ear, and his eyes didn't open all the way... but he was strangely content with the world. As we all stood there, someone showed up with a dog. Not a large dog, but bigger than the cat.
The dog barked and barked at the cat, who ignored it for the most part. Eventually, the dog figured that he had the upper hand, and moved in closer.
You know those scenes in kung fu movies where the ruffians start terrorizing a town, and eventually they find this little old man who doesn't want to fight back, and they start pushing him around and humiliating him, but the old man doesn't do anything until the ruffians do something that just goes a little too far, like insult a little girl? You know what happens next.
Well, that's what happened to that poor dog. Crazy old cat kung fu whoopass.
NOTES is a series I started in 1968. NOTE TO ERIK was the second one completed but the footage goes back to 1966. When I saw the footage I loved it, but didn't feel ready to deal with it. Seeing Sharon Moss again, who had moved to NYC from Storrs, CT inspired me to return to this footage to make a note to a mutual friend ERIK KIVIAT. It took about 2 years for me to feel I could respond to the generosity of her performance and the images I had gathered and shaped in my camera. Sharon Moss and her cats play and dance naked in the snow.
I regularly find notes like this in the notebook I keep with me. Until I found this page I had no recollection of jotting this down.
Finished my Physics today. Felt pretty good.
Welcome to my morning.
P.S. I have a tumblr now. Check it out.
P.P.S. Lightroom is amazing.
A Hawaii overprint note is one of a series of banknotes (one Silver Certificate and three Federal Reserve Notes) issued during World War II as an emergency issue after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The intent of the overprints was to easily distinguish US currency captured by Japanese forces in the event of an invasion of Hawaii and render the bills useless. These were all recalled in April 1946 and most were burned in a Hawaiian crematorium rather than ship them stateside.

A twilight after work meant I didn't get home until bath time. Teeny had left me a note in case I wondered where they were.
My future wife, making notes on a train.
Was drasticly underexposed, a mistake which with the help of computers need only mean 'some shadow detail lost, more grain than normal'.
I've just started scanning in some of my old photographs, so expect more grainy, years-old photos to come...
