a picture a day. that is what this blog is about as of today. more or less what i've been doing for awhile anyway. glyphs, symbols, the stuff that i've been posting for awhile now.

these will be all over the map, variations, alternate takes, works in progress.

from time to time some words may be included.

went to bev's birthday yesterday afternoon. very small gathering, mostly the younger folks.

i really enjoyed playing music w/ these folks. all kinds of instruments, folks picking up whatever thing they could emanate sound with, no point or goal except to echo the now.

my age group with a few notable exceptions seems to have lost this knack and it is such a loss. it was a real lift to me to see that it is still in the air and happening thank god.

yesterday douglas falls.

i couldn't sleep last nite. at all. when i looked p frrom the monitors where i was hoplesly looking for ariadne's thread, it was light outdide. tried laying down but nearly vibrated out of bed. so i showered, took care of some household perpendicular angels, and hit the road. errends. when i got back the day was so loely that i drove and hiked to douglas falls where i osmosised HDR photography, example above.

don't know if you saw charlie rose last night. my all time heroine reporter naomi klein was on along with xx. it as the best rose i have ever seen. te guests calmy and with good humor nailed obama not for being a socialist, but for seemingly restoring the ante-staus quo.

i voted for him to change the stranglehold the finance mirage has on you and me. he seems to be changing it back to the warlords, masters of the universe, the demented and disconnected from life.

boo hiss.

checkout the rose interview it can be found on NPR.

ysterday was the first day this i felt sort of comfortable, caught up on major tasks, just a few details left. so i yawed, stretched, and sort of gloated. then i sat down at computerland, took care of a few long neglected glitches, looked up and saw it was light outside.

picture above is one of the results of this whiplash metabolic staccato limbic world.

got hung up trying to create/upload the above. if you can play it - and see it - you're good. i can't.

so consider it a teaser and i'll get it up tomorrow.

meanwhile i'll take a long walk. i am happy to report that i'm almost caught up on all fronts, and it feels kind of.... strange.

**i'll get used to it. the movie plays fine on a fast machine.

vague huh?

i'm back from 5 day home bound retreet. what you see is what you get. or is it vice versa?

i'm taking a break until this coming sunday. no posts no radio no tv no news. if you need anything before sunday talk to my manager in the sky.

picture of a rock i took the other day during a long walk on the parkway. unfortunately it didn't offer an opinion about how to sneeze or how long it takes for the inhabitants of this planet to wake up from the consumer dream that is nothing but a detour, a diversion from any future that might be.

"The problem of Web 2.0 music culture, which often gets overlooked in the hype concerning DIY music culture and digital empowerment, as I see it anyway, is how the internet overexposes music culture, breeding and intensifying a kind of fiendish hunger in everyone -- corporate marketing experts, brand consultants, journalists, bloggers and musicians -- to attempt to pre-empt sonic innovation, to get ahead of the curve, so that anything new that happens can be viewed retrospectively, and therefore its shock absorbed. What happens as a consequence is that the time gap between real invention and mass marketing approaches zero, or even inverts. That's why older notions of futurism are so highly problematic in the age of Web 2.0. I think the shadow of the internet will become an increasingly small but interesting place."

i think it was friday nite (?) or thereabouts. when i went to bed i turned on the radio and heard the first news of swine flu in mexico. as the night progressed i would wake up briefly and hear more news. now california, etc. by morning the word "pandemic" was being used and it was reported that here were cases in charlotte NC, about 2 hours away from where i live.

i remain astonished by the speed and progression of the news. not talking about the disease but the conventional world view we all live in. what a difference one night made. coupled with the economic meltdown last fall that seemed to explode in a week or so, this phenomena seems to corroborate the feeling that so many have that the idea that lived experienced time has speeded up and continues to speed up.

meaning that "tomorrow" will bring the new that used to take lifetimes?

this blog is in penultimate phase. i had so much fun on retreat i'm going back to it.

ok that"s fiction. i worked my ass off pulling "stuff" from dwelling because i was feeling. . . claustrophobic. i've got loads for goodwill, landfill, wherever it belongs. and i'm not finished so i'll be back next week.

besides, after years of a daily word i'm done w/ it.

i got involved during the week w/ twitter to find out what was happening w/ the fire in myrtle beach. i could not handle it. yesterday i was describing what i could figure out about how it works. a Buddhist practitioner, he opined that receiving a fast and furious endless real-time string of short disparate posts from the entire world reminded him of the endless noise of discursive thinking one can become aware of during meditation.

me too.

Back next week

for the last few weeks i've been fooling around w/ yupo paper. above is an example. for some reason i like working with it but folks don't seem to respond to it well. cold and formless, it reminds me a little of marbled paper only not as graceful. probably will use it as a texture, incorporating it into something or another.

i'm taking next week off: i've worn myself out trying to clear out some living space. i'm exhausted and going to retreat into zeroland for awhile. back next week.

yesterday i bought some forks at habitat for humanity. whatever else i did is gone w/ the wind. everything is hind of far away. or in my face.

no news is good news.

no stuff is good stuff.

no nonsense is nonsense.

still, we are in an age where you and i are being redefined. this could be a good thing.

or not.

who decides?

i have no idea of what this photo i took is, except that whatever it is i din't touch it w/ photoshop.

about facebook: i recieved an invite to be a friend the other day from an old friend of mine i have seen once in 40 years or so. i clicked on it and his page opened up, complete with picture and some information that could only be his ("relationships: it's complicated"). i guess he recieved an email that said i was now a facebbok "friend" of his.

only thing wrong is he didn't send the original invite. he emailed me that facething reads yr address book and sends invites out to those on the list.

i haven't even checked to see if this is true or well-known but it's weird enough to be true anyone heard this?

yesterday, easter sunday, a number of these critters popped out of the ground. they were not there when the sun rose.

good friday. home alone, rainy, a little thunder awgile ago. ok w/ me, got camper interior finished yesterday thx to charley and moriah, possible glitch being silicon caulk drying in today's weather.

today i am doing the long putoff: clean and organize. then go camp somewhere quiet with no computer.

from a watercolor on yupo plastic. just fooling around.

do i need to oost a thought or opinion here that might be worth reading?

how about:

"Throw out an alarming alarm clock. If the ring is loud and strident, you're waking up to instant stress. You shouldn't be bullied out of bed, just reminded that it's time to start your day."
Sharon Gold

according to number, the above image was the 11th i took with digital camera.

what about events in the world? i'm disappointed in obama; he seems to be repairing the "system" so it will work like before: umrestrained greed on the part of thoses in the "know" and total disregard for those on the "now".

did above last nite after returning late from charley and moriah's. beautiful day up there. hot bed platform built, looks and rides good. storage shelves still up on the mountain. ripped all caulking build up from gap between camper shell and edge of truck bed in front. this morning my job ist to clean and scour this stuff off, then, if charly is not working today, get back up there and install shelving. then block leak w/ silicone and some kind of cap. like to het that done today, i think rain returns at night.

we have had a "wet spring". topic of local conversation. slept late, 9AM. now i'm running late. it's sunny out at last & i'm headed for lowe's for circular saw-blade and plywood, then on to charly&moriahville to make the camper livable, or at least survivable. later

dithering today, too many directions.

an old foto, appropriate for the deason.

i'm still completely jammed up, just programmed replacement for damaged insulin pump, still tweaking it and now have to go to lowe's and pick up some materials for charly and drive them to the mountain top to work on camper shell.

from a watercolor i painted in az last month.

rainy overcast day. i ran some wet errands, moriah phoned and we canceled upgrading campershell until a sunny day. i am trying to focus on organizing. something i heard on the radio about ADD being possibly a genetic disposition well suited to hunter-gatherer cultures but not whatever one calls "today's" "culture". for the hell of it assume it is true and you are left with the question of when the culture changed enough to manifest ADD. end of hunter-gatherer culture? 10,000 years ago? or twenty years ago when the choice to putter was slowly extinguished?

focus hokus.

foto taken from walk on dirt road. about 15 minutes from my father's house. the mountains are the san francisco peaks outside flagstaff, about 70 miles away. more later today.

did this one yesterday. i have been fooling with printer and am getting reakky nice prints. i have so many that i am going to update image gallery soon.

overcast day, maybe rain?

been listening to Tell Tale Signs by dylan incessantly. the great american songbook will never be the same.

from rolling stone review

"Tell Tale Signs is less an anthology than an album in its own right. It seems designed to tell a story that sharpens and expands the vista of mortal and cultural disintegration that has been the chief theme of Dylan's 1997's Time Out of Mind, 2001's Love and Theft and 2006's Modern Times — perhaps the most daring music he's ever made. Tell Tale Signs makes plain that Dylan knows the caprices of the world he lives in, now more than ever."

have been puttering with small quicktime movie for web. as usual there were a few production glitches having to do w/ codec, think i just solved it, if so watch for it above. (no audio).

got lower dentures relined, i think they will work much better. now i am looking - but not very hard - for some kind of process or exercises that will help me to enunciate clearly, ie carry on a conversation.

still reassembling living space. plumbing problem is next: i tried to fix and no go. so will contact landlord for plumber.

talked to charly about camper shell upgrade. aiming for wooden shelves and bed platform, storage under neath. he had simple idea for leak which will probably work.

ac seems weak since i got heater motor replaced, need to look into that.


i don't know much about voodoo economics or accounting, but "toxic asset" makes no sense to me. could it more accurately be described as "debit"? is there such a thing as "healthy debit"?

mud season

how to describe our world now:
institutions:
church, town hall, Congress, any government, educational including "higher", chain stores, highways, commerce
a big etc.
have all become obsolete because they no longer work. one time they did.

so the question is why? will they "hit bottom" and work again? no.

because they are all hierarchical in nature, top down, and the worker bees can no longer pretend they are part of a greater whole. the power complex, always part of the institution since the beginning of civilization has become clearly visible. the power mongers ruthless thugs, with no regard for life.

institutional evolution, or cultural evolution where the most powerful survive by dealing in smoke and mirrors.

"everybody knows
that baby's got new clothes
but lately
i see
her ribbons and her bows
have fallen from her curls"
bobby d. from a song about addiction among other things

a quickie. i've always enjoyed clouds. an old girlfriend thought this was an indicator of something not quite right.

terrible night last night. the night before i had tripped and fallen, and my insulin pump was damaged. i thought it was fixed when i went to bed last night. so alarm was going off many times during the night. the last time i think i really did fix it and BG was right when i woke up.

plan for the day: catch up on the undone from a list i made monday. the list hasn't changed much.

puzzle for the day.

don't have much to say about it,

if the forest is full of empty eyes
are trees real?
whatta they care?

another failed watercolor
i did in az, sprinkled magic dust on it here. think it works?

about lyme's disease:
Re: New articles on the website of the CDC

watercolor i did at my dad's place. i did 5 or 7 there, brought them back to make right, and this is the first one i made right.

i'm still dazed and confused by trip, but if i don't bounce back i'll crawl back.

i saw a lot of cable tv which i refuse to have here at home, and overall was amazed at the burbles and bubbles of meaningless activity displayed. junk discourse. there is a lot of talk today of the way the brain keeps changing in response to it's time in the world, new circuits etc and i suggest that being surrounded by colorful winking blipping pixels that purport to signify is way worse then us tranced folks - everyone - can imagine. in large poart it is responsible for the empty stylistics of modern man.

don't worry about the catastrophe; it's already happened.

back safe, sound - that might be stretching it - & ready already.

fome. sleep.

granddaughter natalie taken yesterday evening, who informed me she is princess rose. i'm driving to asheville in a few minutes.

i'm at nicole's, corbin is at school, she is at work,and i'm organizing for trip back to aville. probably leave tomorrow. i slept from 3 in the afternoon untill8 this morning. believe i'll visit lily and natalie tonight, jim in the morning and head out. above is picture of chemtrails over prescott.

grandson corbin looks great, good to see him.

need to get to meher center before late april when there will celebration of great darshan. that will be my next trip out. hope to visit damien and ludie on the way because i don't think i'll make it this go round.

started spook country by gibson on airplane, realized i've already read it, but since i have no idea of what happens in book i'll finish it. again.

two massacres in the news since last night. see muckers to learn a little about this phenomena, and read the damn book it comes from to learn a lot about our lot.

got to nicol's around 3 this afternoon after eli and i drove around the long way back to airport securiy because i jad left a bag
on the curbside which we recovered. slept from 3 pm to around 8pm. will repack, unpack, ratiolize truck, and hope to drive to damien and ludie's in warrington, back in town to visit the eli parsons. hope to visit jim and his new computer tomorrow. head back to aville friday or saturday.

when i get back i have a waccy notion to turn off the electricity for a week, light kerosene lamps, and brood, sleep in the dark for a week.

head for a weekend in hot springs.

spent a week in myrtle beach meher retreat.

the only thing that leaves that i know of is spend the rest of my life.

while away i studied cable tv. what a hoax. noise and lights distracting from life. a zillion babbles. electronic tower of babel. no communication, only news. while in prescott i listened to the late night news in navajo on the am dial and got a hell of a lot more out of it.

to sum up, quote from einstein by walter isaacson:

"he generally thought in pictures...'i rarely think in words at al'", he later told a psychologist. "a thought comes, and i may try to express it in word later."

a bit of cryptic fluff for y'all. and im still operating in the pc world, one of the least pleasant working conditions i've ever suffered. my god it is so abysmal, klutzy, bass ackwards, buggy, a pile of gee gaws precariously stacked, i truly never want to touch one agaain. took me all day to do the bit above.

i am well aware that we are living in another age of the warlord, the meaga-vandals, thieves, crooks, and murderers, most dressed impeccably, but parallel to these connisuers of destruction is the pile of crap called windows, probably as responsible for the disappearence of the institutions that make or made up civilization as the gangs - i'm not talking about 16 year old latinos.

rant finished.

i'm leaving tomorrow afternoon for raleigh and environs. ninian is gracious enough to pick me up around 9 tomorrow night. spend the night at his house, he works tuesday, not sure after that but i hope eli can pick me up. i could sleep for a week. probably will. but not yet.

in phx. looks like i'll be in flight to nc either sunday night or following sat nite depending on what dreams and portents say if i have any tonight. the morning will tell. exhausted. unsteady. shaky. ie routine.

what i will or will not do when i get back:

get a passport.

pay rent for last two months

install wooden shelving in camper plus a rain protecter between cab and camper

whip out 5 postcards, 100 each, place in stores around asheville.

produce 2 or 3 giclees, 8x 10 w/backing board, wrapped in clear baggie.

sell quadra and imac, throw away tv, maybe read hegel's xxx. make dvd slideshow from family photos (a big job)

camp out for a month

buy more ammunition for krag rifle

become a member of anarchist artists group to maintain ability to communicate with others should the desire hit me

drive to colorado july stop over in mountain view ark.

practice life and death

buy a yurt

live in it

not worry

not worry about the demise of the age of megatechnics and the evaporation of every institution. move foward as they say. fun bliss embodied transfiguration is the force that drives the fuse.

good night.

going to see doc w/ jane and dad tomorrow. ride to phx with her friday and one way or another crawl home. saw tavis smiley and bob woodward kast night on of all things larry king live. only meaningful thing i have heard during 2 months of "news". they may have even mentioned the megaheist of the last 8 (or more) years.

if i rob a bank tomorrow and am caught and charged i don't get to keep the money.

why not use the law to GET THE MONEY BACK.

you've been robbed. and it was an inside job.

bird in snow. friend of dad's took us to chinese place last night. today emptied pond to repair leak. still planning to head for phx thursday but difficult to plan ahead, more like improvising any plan as i go.

sunday. things shaping up. i'll ride w/ sister jane to phx thusday, hope to see some museums there, and hope to fly to Albuquerque sunday am & visit sr slown in santa fe and see more museums. back at end of week and on to nc.

dad is fine, still hurting a bit, and looks like the deal is to do the low salt no alcohol exercise regimen, wear support socks and increase endurance. he has really been patient and tolerant of my manifold eccentricities and probably gotten a little used to me being around. i'm easy.

today and tomorrow we are going to sipon water out of small pond, repair crack wednesday. jane will be up tuesday or wednesday, we'll be at heart doc's followup thursday morning.

after i get back to aville will have some biz to take care of for a month or so and after that one way or the other will, as they say, move on to the next now whatever it may be.

dad doing amazingly well for an 80 year old and he is 90. bum leg looks like tendinitus exacerbated by edema.

i think i'll be leaving maybe next week. spent half a day trying to get 10 infusion sets for insulin pump which will give me some time. hope they arrive tomorrow.

stay tooned.

picture above i took last week. used pc to make it what a thankless task but here i am w/ no mac or internet access. a challange.

still in prescott. dad is not boucing back like we would like. half hour doing almost anything puts him out. new problem is his left foot which hurts him quite a bit with use. we are going to try and see doctor tomorrow about this. otherwise he has doctor appts thru most days next week. i will begin to run out of supplies for pump soon so some action is required. i hope to go to phx, fly toalbequerque and spend a week or so w/ jeff in santa fe, back to phx, and on to raleigh, drive to aville. his current last doc appt is a week from this coming thirsday sofoloowing friday would hypothetically be the first time i could head for phx. currently he needs someone around, he should not be by himself.

today is Meher Baba's birthday.

tomorrow i may meet a tibetan monk who has been doing something or another at sangha about 20 miles away.

went w/ katie and dave yesterday fo dove release. tried to get them with picture or video, they are really fast.

and last but not least from an email from old friend:

wow. this is the longest time i have been able to access net since ive been at dad's. even got a picture up.

he continues to improve. saw cardio doc this week. he wants to pull pacemaker's atrial control because it isn't doing anything because synch between atrial and ventral has been lost because...

and a pain in left leg below the knee, not edema but new since hospital. maybe gout?

still unsure of any logistics on my part, will slowly aim east i guess, and visit NM on my way there.

now about "the economy": is it animal, vegetable, or mineral? "

monday. fred & jane drove up yesterday, back t6o phoenix today. starting to think aboutr heading back to aville. appt w/ cardio for dad thursday. still don't think he is up to living by himself but may be soon. checking into returning via santa fe. thinking of putting somr money into camper and camping out this summer.

nothing new. dad doing great. fred & jane coming up tomorrow for 2 days. probably things will be decided. should start aiming for trip home at that point, maybe i hope via santa fe, maybe denver.

just to illustrate that i'm still power doodling. this was done with gimp, a port from linux, running on windows so it was done w/out any knowledge, technique, maybe just a tad of curiosity.

dad continues to recover, his first trip out tonight to a mighty fine breakfast at denny's.

tuesday. yesterday 13" snow out of the blue. dad steadily better, tomorrow should be end of "house arrest". we have to get plan going for future, i think what we have both been doing is taking it very slow. instinct and metabolism.

i'm typing this courtesy of katy next door. tomorrow after nurse's visit and an visit from some care taking outfit i'll go get some stuff printed up at library about CHF.

been painting some.

that's it signing off.

found hip nice place w/ wi-fi. the raven prescott az.snowing outside have to leave before freeze. dad better. much better. nurse will probably release him from bound to home this wed. working on part time domestic help and a panic button for him. missed calls on cell fone.

Howdy. Offline a long time and kind of out of any loops out there. This is the first time I have had time to post the story of the last few weeks so here goes:

erdaughter Nicole’s in Chatham county. Had a day or two there and was happy that Nicole, Eli and Melissa all seemed fine and grandchildren even finer.

Arrived phoenix 15th Jan. son Eric had arrived earlier with Angala and Grace. Dad came down from Prescott Friday and Saturday we celebrated his 90th birthday. Nobody overdid anything and Sunday we all dispersed, dad and I to Prescott.

Don’t remember all details but dad started a loud on and off wheeze and not feeling so hot. Tuesday evening he was worse and I took him to ER. Diagnosed as congestive heart failure triggered by some respertory infection. (everyone from phoenix get-together came down w/ something similar w/ a few exceptions, one of which was I.)

He is home now after 3 - 4 days in hospital, seems to get better each day. Lots of doctors, nurses, physical therapists. Home bound until next Wednesday by which time I imagine he will be ready to get outside. Presently a short walk in park nearby does it. Sister Jane came up this week and was a great help. I have changed my return flight to open so not sure of return date.

I think I’m online now without trip to town so will keep updating her every day.

story so far. i am in prescott az visiting my father. he tuned 90 last week. he also spent 3-4 days in hospital for congestive heart failure. he is recovering well but of course it is slower than he would like.

so i have cancelled my return flight to raleigh while he heals and regains invigoration.

he has a nice house and would just as soon not leave it.

i may get to santa fe after all dust has settled. i'd really like to train from flagstaff to lamy but it leaves 5 in am, logistics not tpretty.

email or net hookup very sporadic. may have an answer to this we will see.

reading new earth by /answer coming/ which i am really enjoying.

it may shed light on a question that has been bothering me: if i...

"Last week, long-time manufacturer Seagate acknowledged a bug that is causing its hard drives to fail."

so what?

times are hard. time is easy.

dad slowly recovering.

i urge everyone to take mellancamps latest cd, go home, and listen to the man. serious as a heart attack.

if i can figure out how w/out photoshop i'll post some images. imagine that.

lot happening since last post. took dad to hospital ER tuesday after return from phoenix and very pleasant birthday family gathering for 90th. congestive heart failure probablac from hospital friday, doing meds, doc appts, nusing at home rehab etc. tomorrow doc appt hope to learn more. things definitly looking up.y developing over time and set off very suddenly by upper respitory infection. b

did this watercolor last week. part of my latest fancy, learning it again.

i'm outa here today. bye for awhile.

it took me 10 minutes to find this foto file which i don't recall. i've been looking for painting & foto images to fill out gallery and i'm not finished yet. i am astounded by what i find, some really nice work IMHO and some of it you will find on posts but it won't be all annotated and displayed in one place until i can find my attention which i apparently am in deficient of.

meanwhile a similar phenomena happening with my preparations to leave town. can't find stuff, some of which is critical ie meds.

so my intention is to leave in the morning after an interesting day.
