My favorite quote from Megan McCafferty's Jessica Darling books is now on my very own ring!
I blogged about it here at write meg!
Came across this young man in deep thought on my way to get my shoes repaired.
Sitting in the shade of a tree with his cell phone in one hand and his head in the other, still, motionless, like a statue carved in stone...
Shinjuku station in Tokyo is the busiest station in the world. three million people pass through this station every day. Most of them are retreated onto their own island of thoughts.
soft and sweeping thoughts, with distant rain, way above timber line in california's white mountains
Sometimes you struggle to get images and sometimes they just come and sit right in front of you.
Full Frame and SOOC
This is what my bandmates came up with in a brainstorming session about me, over a couple of beers last night.
The winter is made and you have to bear it,
The winter web, the winter woven, wind and wind,
For all the thoughts of summer that go with it ...
Wallace Stevens (1879-1955)
From: "The Dwarf"

"Hmm, do you taste like chicken" and the other thinking "Hmm, do you taste like pigeon"... And a motherly voice of reason in the background saying something like don't get too close.
For many years, the dropping sea level was not thought to be a problem. Beach operators got accustomed to it and considered it part of the routine. Lifeguard towers had wheels attached so they could be moved forward every year. New steps were constructed from time to time and access pathways were extended.
When the first reports of sinkholes surfaced in the 1980s, they were regarded as a geological curiosity. By the end of the 1990s, however, the anomaly had turned into a problem. Sinkholes appeared in date groves and in the parking lot which had to be abandoned.
The drop in the level of salty water enables the penetration of fresh groundwater into a salt layer that lies between 5 and 60 meters underground. Fresh water dissolves the salt and creates large empty cavities underground. These cavities rise to the surface like an air bubble in water, until the uppermost layers close to the ground suddenly collapse, creating a pit.
Just like the falling water level, the rate of sinkhole creation is speeding up. In 1996, there were 220 sinkholes; by 2006 there were 1,808; and now, the number skyrocketed to over 6,000. 500 new sinkholes open up every year, an average of more than one per day.
