it's always exciting for me cutting new doorways into existing solid walls. here i'm connecting a room that for many years was no longer a part of this apartment....progress indeed!
on the left, the before and the after on the right.
Rebuilding and progress is everywhere in this photograph. The street filled with traffic, the orange fencing and barrels, and the rising dust cloud. The cloud is a result of ground level construction.
The Balkans War in 1999 brought Kosovo out of the grip of Serbian forces led by Slobodan Milosevic's government. Not meant in any way to trivialise this we can say politics and relations between Serbia, Albania, Montenegro,and Kosova were extremely complicated and volatile then and are still so today.
The construction is evidence of the Kosovars intent to move forward.

sorry for the intense glare on this rough pic. i'll take some better ones once he's all done.
i'm adding all the paint for the many control panels that'll make up the final look of the KBOT. the LED text panel and the LED light panel will be added later, too.
the KBOT has 2 big gear wheels that support him, but you can't really see them in this pic. more soon!
The beginning of time for 2007

If we were to contemplate time and how it is tracked we may consider using a scratch on a wall, a favourite for prison inmates in a far off land I’m told. Traditionally of course this would always take the form of a vertical scratch indicating a day has passed followed by another series of five before scratching a diagonal to complete one week. So simple and easy to do, no training necessary as it comes so natural. Hey anybody could do it.
This one week group signifies that a week in your life has now been lost forever never to be repeated, unless you believe in reincarnation of course in which case you may just want to do something completely different the second time around. For our purposes let’s stick to this life.
When we have marked the completion of the second week will they form any significant memory and if so for whom? How long will this memory last and how long will it last if it only belongs to you? Just what did you do two weeks ago that makes it a memory? If your recollection is nil was that a wasted week in your life?
What is time?
How do you perceive it?
At what point did you realise that time was important, were you young or old?
Time is limited – We all get the same amount, or do we?
Time management – Oh yes it does like to be managed
Time is scarce – The lack of it can be used as blame when plans have gone wrong.
Free time – Sounds great but is there anything free in this life, after all if there is no such thing as a free lunch why should we expect time to be free? When you relax in free time this is just another erosion of life itself isn’t it? But when we talk of free time it sounds so very nice.
Going down the pub, why not I do have some free time you know.
I made these pictures in my free time. You lucky thing you
Why waste time looking backwards?
Why waste time contemplating what may have been?
Why not be positive right now and change your life and realise your own potential?
Be positive in your actions and you will see that time may just look after you
Time to talk
Time to listen
Time to live
Time for a coffee
Time to sleep
Time to go
How much can you remember for the month of January 2007? New Year’s Day perhaps, kids back to school? 1st day back to work? Not very well perhaps? A great party?
Or just maybe it was the time that you started to look forward and concentrate on today and tomorrow?
Time waits for no man

50gr of Wisdom of the Sage singles: long colour repeat Sagebrush/ Dark Grey Haunui Handcraft wool (NZ Halfbred), plus some Gotland I've been spinning for a very, very long time - but nearing the end!
This seat is on the "Desire" streetcar—that is, the one used in "A Streetcar Named Desire", and one of the streetcars that rolled through the "Desire District" in New Orleans. Our host at the Trolley Museum explained to us that the little holes you see were actually a sort of flag; if the peg was up, it was for "coloured people" to sit in, and all the seats without the peg up were for white people.
Rather stunningly remarkable, to someone my age especially. Can you imagine? Obviously we all know this sort of thing was common, but every time I'm reminded of it or confronted by it it's a shock.
Thankfully, today in America, any person of any race can sit wherever they like. That, my friends, is real progress.
