Good morning!

 

I see kayak.

I think "palindrome"

I replay Dead Parrot sketch in my head.

 

Which then sparks thoughts of how my brain works and is an immediate reminder of....

"My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention."

"Ditto"

 

Which then of course leads me to thinking of Lily Von Schtupp which makes make me think of Madeline Kahn (woof! ;) ) which in turn spins my brain to Mrs White and ....

"Yes. Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her, so much... it-it- the f - it -flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breaths... Heathing..."

 

Then I throw on Clue, pop some microwave popcorn and the whole day is shot.

 

It ain't easy being green.

I love meeting interesting people! I met this lady at my photo shoot in Tulsa Violin Shop. I could tell you all the interesting things I learned about, but I thought y'all might enjoy just imagining things about her based on her interesting face.

Note that the speedometer arrow is pointing at zero.

its simply the most remembered thing attributed to him. the palindrome "a man, a plan. . ." was written in the late '40s, well after his death.

It's the same backwards and forwards!

Palindromes. Derived from the Greek palandromos, which literally means "rerun"¹, a palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same left to right as right to left. Disappointingly, the word palindrome isn't one. The history of palindromes, as you can imagine if you've been reading my previous historical dissertations, is peppered—or perhaps lightly seasoned—with mildly amusing anecdotes ending in someone being trampled by rogue elephants or glazed in carob, like so:

 

The first known palindrome was created, unsurprisingly, in ancient Greece, by the poet Sotades, and it went like this: ψ. Sotades was extremely proud of his work until he was stoned to death. The first known palindrome that didn't result in the stoning to death of its creator was by a Roman: In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni, which, being written in Latin, no longer means anything. The Romans also invented the 2D palindromic square (which can be read in four directions), and, shortly thereafter, the toga-wedgie. Sadly, after the fall of the Roman Empire, Western Europe descended into a Mad Max²-like chaos that was made all the less bearable for the scarcity of good palindromes. It was Shakespeare, of all people, who brought palindromes back again, when he wrote "I'd like to hear some palindromes again / or failing that, a flying car would do."³ That's right—that's how long we've been waiting for flying cars.

  

¹ This should tell you something about ancient Greek programming schedules.

 

² Without the guns, cars, and post-apocalypunk bondagewear.

 

³ Yeah, um...here's the thing: I can't write palindromes, because I...have a life...but I can do iambic pentameter.

I love two-toned roses.

he's keeping busy

yeah he's bleeding stones

with his machinations and his palindromes

it was anything but hear the voice

that says that we're all basically alone

 

poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions

when he put his Bunsen burners all away

and turning to a playground in a Petri dish

where single cells would swing their fists

at anything that looks like easy prey

in this nature show that rages every day

it was then he heard his intuition say

 

we were all basically alone

and despite what all his studies had shown

that what's mistaken for closeness

is just a case of mitosis

and why do some show no mercy

while others are painfully shy

tell me doctor can you quantify

he just wants to know the reason why

 

why do they congregate in groups of four

scatter like a billion spores

and let the wind just carry them away

hows can kids be so mean

our famous doctor tried to glean

as he went home at the end of the day

in this nature show that rages every day

it was then he heard his intuition say

 

we were all basically alone

despite what all his studies had shown

that what's mistaken for closeness

is just a case of mitosis

sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis

and why do some show no mercy

while others are painfully shy

tell me doctor, can you quantify?

the reason why

Palindromic loco from HWH DLS...i.e. HWH WDM-3A #14141 was hauling MLDT Intercity Epress

This was the end of the roll of Kodak Ultra 110 I shot in a tiny RX110

keychain camera, part of a contest organized by Keith Slater at

nelsonfoto.com . The pictures themselves were a little more (but little

more than little more) representative of the real world. I like the fact that the number could be 962021 or 120269.
