I spent a pleasant evening with some friends the other night.
I ordered several drinks to help relax.
The problem was I couldn't hear a single word they said.
Not surprising when your ears are filled with wax.
My morning shower left water in my ear canal,
Like when that ship got stuck in the Suez.
I kept poking napkins down there trying to sop it up.
Not an easy feat like everybody says.
Finally giving up, I just sat there and nodded my head,
Pretending in the conversation, I was involved.
I feared that sooner or later, I would be found out:
I'd be deaf until my ear wax was dissolved.
Returning home, 10 ear drops I dribbled into either side.
Several minutes I waited for each dose to do its job.
When the gurgling stopped, with my blue squeegee ball syringe,
I squirted hot water into each medicated ear
Until into the sink fell several viscous gobs.
Viscous gobs, viscous gobs --
Why did God create us?
And then place us as unwanted guests
In someone's external acoustic meatus?
Viscous gobs, viscous gobs--
Filled with ear hair and dead skin.
Trapping unsuspecting insects
Until those earwax drops drop in.

Kira doesn't seem to mind sitting in the kitchen with mum and hearing her prattle on about 'those magic people'. I wonder why?...
Would you let him clean your sensor…?

CREW INSTALLING SQUEEGEE INTO THE NEW DOE CRUDE OIL 42-INCH PIPELINE NEAR NEDERLAND, TEXAS, TO WEST HACKBERRY, LA.
THE PURPOSE OF THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVES IS TO REDUCE THE NATION'S VULNERABILITY TO A SEVERE SHORTAGE OF PETROLEUM SUPPLY. THE SITES NEED TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO TANKERS AND PIPELINES SO THAT, IN AN EMERGENCY, THE OIL COULD BE WITHDRAWN AND ENTERED INTO THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. THE GULF COAST HAS THE PORTS, REFINERIES, AND PIPELINES TO ACCOMMODATE THE RESERVES. THE STORAGE AREAS ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED UNDERGROUND IN SALT DOMES ALONG THE TEXAS AND LOUISIANA COASTS. THE FIRST CRUDE OIL WAS PUMPED IN BEHIND THE WATER FLUSH AND BEGAN CREEPING AT LESS THAN ONE MILE AN HOUR THROUGH THE LINE.

Buenos Aires is a grubby city, despite the best efforts of city street cleaning teams and residents and proprietors such as this woman. There are many people working to clean up, but there are more litterbugs.
I did not see a mop in the familiar form on the entire trip. Floor squeegees like these are the norm, and if moisture is involved, a paño (rag or towel) is added around or under it.
VAN NUYS - On Thursday, December 10, 2020, at 10:21 AM, LAFD was summoned to the 14500 block of West Sylvan Street for a flooding. A suspected water main break caused a wide-spread flooding situation that affected approximately seven businesses. Firefighters charged a portion of their four-inch hose (typically used as a supply line from a fire hydrant) and used it to protect the storefronts from further water intrusion. With towels, pumps, squeegees, scoop shovels, and other tools at their disposal, firefighters helped the row of businesses minimize water damage until DWP responded to provide a definitive solution. There were no reported injuries.

Using a sheet of plastic to smosh down a fiberglass patch. I've been using this technique often on repairs. I like to pull edge fibers off around the edge of fiberglass patches. It makes a nice feather edge but is hard to wet out without pulling epoxy filled strands all over the place making a giant mess. Put a small sheet of polyethylene sheet over the wet out patch and squeegee out the excess. The plastic keeps the fibers from being pulled out all over.

'Funny stuff' afoot with the shadows here. I think the scanner was having a breakdown.
I'm lucky I have any images at all after the the film snapped at the end of the roll which then slackened the film meaning the teeth stopped pulling the film along.
Only thing to do now is get some new developer and invest in a good squeegee.

In Toronto, we call them "Squeegee Kids". They run up to cars stopped at an intersection, wipe the windows with a squeegee and a spray bottle, and then ask for cash in return. Though they're tolerated, there are some who are understandably bitter about them. If you ask me, squeegee kids are a sign of a deeper problem that requires deeper solutions, not prosecution.
This photo was taken at Dundas and Sherbourne, located within the boundaries of Cabbagetown. The neighbourhood has a long history of being comprised of lower-income households, historically Irish immigrants who grew cabbages in their yards (hence the name). Nearby, revitalization efforts in the Regent Park neighbourhood are trying to accomplish a mix of income levels in the same area to increase diversity and accessibility. Will it succeed or will it just turn into another gentrification project?
Well, it's been almost a month since I've posted a picture to Flickr. When I was editing this picture the other day, it took me a few seconds to remember how to use the RAW editor and Photoshop.
I've picked up my camera maybe three times since Christmas.
School has been incredibly busy (compared to what I was used to), and I really don't have time for much else. I had 7 tests and 4 assignments to do in the last 3 weeks, and now that I'm on Reading Week, I can finally catch my breath.
I took the weekend off and went to the cottage...I did a bit of ice fishing, a bit of snowmobiling, and used a chainsaw for the first time. But I didn't really relax nearly as much as I thought I would. I was thinking that it would be nice to get away from the city for a day, but it started off on the wrong foot because I was an hour and a half late leaving, had to buy some food and get gas on the way, gas was way more expensive than the last time I bought it, the squeegee at the gas station scratched one of my windows, and the traffic through Durham was slow on the 401...so that put a damper on my mood before I even got to the cottage. Unfortunately, I don't have much more time for blatant self-indulgence this week. I had hoped to really pig out on junk food and play some video games for a few days, but I only did that for about 2 hours last night. I'll be taking a few evenings off this week, and studying/working on assignments during the day...so I guess that's better than the previous few weeks, where I went to school during the day and spent the remainder of the day and evening studying!
The good thing is that I've been doing really well in school. All the time I'm spending studying is driving me nuts, but it's also giving me excellent marks...so...while burnout is always visible on the horizon, hopefully this time off during reading week will help me prepare for the next half of the semester. Then I'll get a few weeks off in April...and then it's back for another round.
Which also means that I won't be going back to the Zoo this summer for the first time in seven years.
That's going to be a bit of an adjustment...I'll be going to school through the summer, instead of my old Zoo routine...but in reality, I've been so friggin' busy with school that I haven't had time to ponder anything else, like the fact that my time as a Zoo employee is over.
Maybe as the year goes on, I'll have more time to reminisce about that.
I hope you guys are all doing well!

Nice. There is hope with kids like this...Music started at 5:30 and lasted until 9:30. I got there too late to see SUBURBS VS CITIES and PLAYGROUND AUTHORITY. Sorry. I had dinner at Mountain Mike's Pizza during SOL and Captain Squeegee. I tried to skank at full speed and had muscle cramps after I got home. Being old is only better than the alternative.
about 12 years ago this is how i learned to screenprint. over the years i've had a lot of people ask how to do it, which i can't really explain because it's a process that is easier to show. unfortunately, i am in no position to teach people how to screenprint, but now they can get a kit just like i did and figure it out. go speedball!
Now for the info. Kit includes:
10" x 14" screen frame
9" squeegee
4 oz. black fabric screenprint ink
4 oz. red fabric screenprint ink
4 oz. yellow fabric screenprint ink
4 oz. screen filler
4 oz. drawing fluid
4 oz. diazo photo emulsion
4 oz. diazo photo emulsion remover
1/2 gram diazo sensitizer
paint brush
mixing sticks

Lun got in the hammock with Po to nurse, but Po had other ideas. Eventually he did settle down to nurse. Please excuse the squeegee - the weather is still steamy in Atlanta.
Ker-plunk! Ker-plunk! On the 14th floor of the Tribune Tower, I can hear when the window washers are a few floors above. It's an exciting time, because I just know they will be coming down to my window!--and I get to photograph them! Suhhhh-weeet!
Usually I shoot them with the blinds down. This time I got really bold and just stood there and photographed him with the blinds all up and everything. Having a quick repeated shutter release makes it really nice to get just the right shot.
Next time I'm gonna hafta wave and hold up my Mr. T doll to get him to smile. :-)

A young boy does what he can to earn some money while his mother and little sister beg on a street corner in Polanco, Mexico City.
In November 2022, I returned to physical studios for only the second time since Covid-19 and took part in two sets of courses/workshops (experimental screenprinting and monoprinting techniques).
The underlying image used here was a photograph of an oil painting I had produced (www.flickr.com/photos/77334245@N00/8711102814) as possible cover art for my draft novel Liberty Mine. The photo was placed onto the screen which had been coated with photosensitive emulsion. The screen was then placed into an exposure unit, which developed the emulsion, hardineing it into a stencil/resist for the printing. At first I printed with balck acrylic ink. Then, without cleaning the screen, I added extra colours, creating a mix of results as the squeegee work blended older and newer inks.

This is Tigger's favorite chair. Barrymore just glares at him when he's in it, because he won't challenge him, but really wants it for himself! Squeegee just jumps up on the back where he can look down on everyone!
I thought it was cool that the pillow behind him shows the two, little leopard cubs looking over his back!

Down here, Pine trees are just everywhere! The pollen fills the air so completely that on some days you can see waves of it. Gassing up our venerable Passat wagon this morning I had an idea. In addition to cleaning the lights and windows, I used the squeegee to make a checkerboard pattern on the hood. FYI: this car was washed last week.
This was a theatrical adaptation of Singin' in the Rain at the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, just north of Boston. The single intermission came just after the show's "Singin' in the Rain" number (performed by Gene Kelly in the movie), whose sprayed "rain" left a wet and puddled stage surface. Several members of the crew came out to squeegee and towel it down before the second act began. Actors could slip on a wet stage -- as the actor doing the "Singin' in the rain" number actually did. He slipped and fell and then bounced right up.
Isn't somebody going to come to squeegee the window before we take off? I'm really not looking forward to photoshop'ing out each of these raindrops.
It's a Luigi from the Super Mario Brothers! I hope he is all that you wanted him to be. :)

There's the infamous squeegee that I've noted in several Scandinavian showers. Instead of banking the floor so that gravity pulls the water towards the drain, you're expected to do the work with the squeegee.
The Birkenau paintings are based on four photographs secretly taken in the death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. After a yearlong attempt to render the photographic images, Richter gradually veiled his initial figurative drawings with color, scouring each coat of paint with a squeegee to produce layered, ruptured surfaces. The canvases' distinctive facture and relatively subdued palette reflect the artist's conscious struggle to address the grim documents of historical trauma while curtailing the spectacular nature of the reproduced photograph. Together, the series holds in tension the complex relationship between representation and abstraction, and the opposing forces of destruction and reconstruction.

Vader turns in his light-saber for a squeegee. He must clean the windows on his Tie Fighter before he goes out and does battle with the Jedi force.
I was helping my mom move and came across some of my toys when I was a kid. This original Tie fighter is almost 30 years old. It is in pretty good condition except for some dust, so I came up with the idea for this shot from it being dirty.

This is the little love of my life, Squeegee. Squeeks started his life living outside the fabric store where I used to work. I had been feeding his mother and father, and eventually, all his six siblings! I wanted to adopt his father, a grey tabby I'd called "Mr. Bill", because of his extreme vocal whining! Mr. Bill turned out to have feline AIDS, and I couldn't bring him home because I had another cat, Noelle, who was old, and I didn't want her exposed to the disease, which is fatal. I had Mr. Bill fixed to stop him from fighting the other males in the neighborhood, and found him a home with a nurse who fell in love with him at first sight!
On a stormy, October day, with the wind blowing up a gale, I managed to catch Squeegee with the help of a good friend, and get him stuffed into my cat carrier, which was no easy task, as he was spread eagle, fighting capture with all his might! I brought him to the vet, and had him tested for diseases. He was negative, so Squeegee went home with me and has been there ever since!
A year after bringing Squeegee home, he got deathly sick and began throwing up violently. I raced him to the vet, and the blood work showed that he was going into renal failure, and other tests revealed all his major organs were enlarged and in distress. The vet sent me to a clinic in Winter Park, which was very expensive. They discovered Squeegee's kidneys looked "bright" on X-Ray, which means they were too dense. Still, no one knew what was causing any of it! They put him on Cipro, a drug given to children as an antihistamine, I believe, to stimulate his appetite, because he'd lost about 5 lbs. in a short period of time. My vet placed him on Torbutrol, which is a narcotic pain killer, because he seemed to have back pain. None of this had an explanation! $2500, two ultrasounds, and a muscle biopsy later, we still didn't know why Squeeks was sick. He was better, though, so we continued the Cipro and Torbutrol, and eventually, Squeegee recovered, although he was never able to come off the Torbutrol, even when I've tried to wean him off it. He still hurts too much when he doesn't get it.
When Squeegee first got sick, I literally went bankrupt to save his life. Many people wouldn't understand that, but as a single woman with no children, my pets are the closest thing I have to that, and the bond is stronger than if I had my own family. It's a substitute, and an outlet for the void left in my maternal instincts.
Torbutrol was always expensive, costing about $70 every 40 days when I gave him 1/2 a pill twice a day. Through the years, that has increased dramatically. I now give Squeeks only 1/4 pill every day, and it costs me $19.50 every 16-20 days. There are days when he just has to have more, because I can tell he's hurting. He should have at least twice that amount, but there's no way I can do it anymore.
Squeegee would have died when he was two without my help. He's now about 13, and I can't imagine my life without him! As personable as Tigger is, and as pretty as Barrymore is, there's still no other cat in the world that will ever mean more to me than Squeeks. Maybe it's all we've been through together, but I think it was already like that when all this started. He's just special. To most people, Squeegee is just a talky, orange cat. To me, he's my baby; soft as silk, and full of love.
There's another facet to Squeegee that makes him one of a kind. I've suffered from migraines from the time I was 7. Shortly after getting Squeeks, I realized that he'd wake me up at night when he sensed one coming on, much like seizure dogs alert a person when they are going to have an epileptic seizure. At first, I would just yell at him to shut up, but soon realized that every time he did it, I was having migraine symptoms. When I paid attention to Squeegee's insistent squeaking, got up and took my meds, and maybe had some coffee (which shrinks the enlarging blood vessels that cause pressure and pain,) I could often make it to work and overcome the migraine. When I ignored him, I would be sicker than death, and in agony! As I've aged, I get fewer headaches, and Squeegee seems to be off his game a bit, which is okay. He's old now, and entitled! I owe him as much as he owes me.
I wasn't keen on trying to develop my own film so had a roll done at my local lab. The negs were fine but the scans were pretty poor. Paid for high-res but the file sizes suggests they might be in low-res. The scans had dust on them and for some reason, they didn't scan all the negs. Strange.
Anyway, I think I will now have a go at developing. Been reading up on this and I think these are the things I need:
Kodak Professional T-MAX Developer
Ilford Ilfostop
Ilford Rapid Fixer
kodak Photoflo wetting agent
Film changing bag/tent
AP tank
Clock/timer
Thermometer
Measuring jugs
Clips
Squeegee
Do I need anything else?
