So cool, so laid-back, so drunk...
THE BACK of the plate. It say's "Shonfeld's" under the white gunk. They have a web site. It does not totally work.

Hypnotique
I found this nifty plate laying about the place. My wife says she got it at the ninety-nine cent store, along with a red one that says "Bloody Mary" on it. We can't find the red one right now. I can't WAIT to see the picture on THAT one!

Illegal Library
Saw a link to "Yahoo! Answers wins for once." I'm glad I clicked on it. It is titled "Is it OK to run an illegal library from my locker at school?" A student attends a high school that does not allow certain books in its library. The student is running a library out of their locker. It sounds like it is very popular. It also sounds like a good idea to me!
Of the books listed, I think we have about a third of the titles in our middle school library.

That And THIS
Firstly, I made this all-purpose holder for my folders. Bone, that is!
I covered a cardboard tube (from laminating film roll) with an old book jacket, since you asked.
Secondly, (shot while waiting for my épouse at doctor) what is this strap for, anyway?
Risque Accru de Capotage, indeed!
Thirdly, this (also shot while waiting for my épouse at doctor) is the first in a SERIES of images of the crook of my arm.
Be forewarned!
And fourthly, what do you call someone who zooms up the left side of a line of cars waiting to turn right, then noses in near the front of the line? I name them, "line cutter!" Fie on thee!
Ok, I am SO disappointed the picture did not turn out. These handheld-camera-waving-around-while-piloting-a-vehicle pictures never DO seem to turn out!

Of Plague And Yellow Fever
My neighbor is attempting to breed mosquitos.
It is possible there may have been an inadvertent weedicide/oil spill into the tub, however...
I talked to the guy about this container of water a couple of months ago. He agreed it was bad and said he was going to have a couple of guys clean it out soon. I guess he meant Real Soon Now.
I just read a nifty book titled Fever 1793, by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is based on a historical yellow fever epidemic in Philidelphia. Around 10,000 people died. It makes fine reading in this time of scary pig-diseases!

Also Friday
Here's the business end of an RCA 8134 vidicon television camera tube.
Just in case you had the hankering to see one. It's mirror-like!
The tube-type peek-hole in the box.
The box!
The tube!
Link to the datasheet, in pdf "format", for the RCA 8134 vidicon tube. You may want to head over to the home page, it has some vary interesting stuff about television broadcasting history, Iowan (?) postcards, and links to cable car information.
I'm out of here!

Easter Sunday
We went out to The Canyon this afternoon and had ourselves a nice little Easter feast. The kids played with the old games, and the old folks discussed their ills.
Check these little guys out!
Penguin appetizers, can you beat that? Olives, cream cheese, and carrot bits are all it takes. Too cute to eat!
In my penguin ecstasy I failed to notice the flower vegetables, until they were pointed out to me.
I recognize the radishes, but you may have to look at the big version on Zooomr to see that the orange flowers have a kernel of corn in the center.
Of course there were coloured eggs, and I got to take some home. I also got the bubble gum eggs!
Little plants in coloured eggshells, how cute is that? You get the LARGE version here, for enhanced cuteness!
There was a bit of drama as the visiting dog (Bug), seen here,
chased the resident cat (Old Yeller) up a tree. At press time, the cat had not come down.
That is all I have to report, except that a lovely time was had by all!

Earworm
My earworm song just played on KCRW! I am saved!
It's Fangela, by Here We Go Magic. I love it!

One Less Thing
A lady at the grocery store showed me the secret of getting the new plastic produce bags to open. Now I don't have to stand there like a dork fiddling with the darn things!
Remember how Johnny Carson would blow into an envelope before pulling out the letter? I always thought that was cool. It didn't work with the plastic produce bags, though!
On another note...
If you wanna see a very nice model of the H.M.S. Victory, dive into Raul Guzman Jr's site. Be sure to scroll down to see the surgeon operating on a guy. It's so gross!
