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.
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.
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.

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

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.
