Music

Really liking Sandra McCracken, The Builder and the Architect,

and Andrew Peterson, Resurrection Letters, Vol. 2

If you follow either of those links, there's notes from the artists on how the songs came to be and you can listen.

Both are singer-songwriters in the folk-countryish sort of style.

Good words.

Photo Booth and Old Folks

It can be amusing to see how creative minds manifest themselves.

(Looking into the Time Vortex, maybe)

“The old begin to complain of the conduct of the young when they themselves are no longer able to set a bad example.”

~Francois de la Rochefoucald

(who, in case you are curious, was a cardinal of the catholic church in France in the 1600s, or a French author and nobleman of the 1600's or maybe that name was common in France back then and the guy that said this could have been just about anyone.)

Hot Cars

Saw lots of Corvettes tonight, and three new Camaros. None of the Camaros were black, however. One of the Corvettes was a 1982. It was slightly modified. If Danjo's Vette was slightly modified like that, the new Camaro wouldn't be tempting. The guy said it would do a 12 second quarter mile. I think he said it had something like 1000 horses. Maybe it was 1200. He said they were making a new manifold for it. He thought they could get another 30 horses or so out of it. It looked just like Danjo's car on the outside, only maroon. No scratches. They were planning to redo the inside next month. I couldn't really tell what needed redoing. The guy said you could hook up a laptop to it. I don't think he meant for wi fi. I think it was to program the car. He was speaking hot-rod-ese, so I wasn't completely sure.

Saw a white 1964 Fairlane 500 coupe. Looked familiar. I don't think our Fairlane had beige leather seats though. I remember them being grey cloth.

Also saw a 72-ish blue Buick GS 400 with a white top. Vinyl, not convertible. I might just trade the Corvette for that one too.

It's my blog and I can post if I want to.

First of all, Romance of the Forest just keeps getting better. Adeline has had two dramatic proposals in the space of less than twenty pages, has a favorite fawn that runs to greet her, has found some sort of manuscript, and has had some pretty interesting nightmares. That's on top of the tortured guardians and the evil father who tried to force her to become a nun.

Secondly, I was thinking I needed a hobby. Then I remembered all the ones I already have, so rather than starting another hobby (no time) I chose from the long list of readily available hobbies, and you must now be entertained by the resulting chaos.

Can you see the face of...no, not her. Who do you think I am?

Can you see the face of a baboon?

Dry Now

The difference between 110 and 79

Wi Fi

This one you have to guess. He He!

I have one comment and one question about this one.

Comment: Danjo the Magnificent has found this very helpful when making popcorn. He has quit asking me how to make it (why would anyone make microwave popcorn when it's so easy to make real popcorn?).

Question: Why is it that photobooth is like looking in the mirror instead of like looking through the lens of a camera? I had never noticed this before. Is it a photobooth setting or just the way things are? I suppose I could have edited the photo to reverse it, but I have a movie I want to watch.

Who is this man?

Holding Peanut M&M's hostage is an ineffective threat.

I prefer plain M&Ms.

I am shocked and horrified on two counts:

1: If you like peanut M&Ms so much, why were any allowed to be crushed in the center console of your car?

2: M&Ms. Crushed. In the center console of YOUR car? WHAT?
