  1. Late-Stage Wallace was better than Tubbs would be. Not crazy drama Schoolhouse-door Early Wallace, that guy had to have been paid by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
  2. Few years back we were playing with an antenna to look at broadcast TV. There were all sorts of stations that would come and go over the course of a few months. I found one that was 24 hours of Blacksploitation movies. Beautiful photography, fine music, they were mostly just regular detective movies except a couple of the cast were Black and got front billing. I felt like I was back in Westside Jr. High for a few weeks, then poof, another "live" costume jewelry sale.
  3. Young woman from my church among those killed at Brown. She would have been in grade school the last time I was there.
  4. I appreciate that! Just didn't want to overdo it.
  5. It's not arbitrarily divided into valves.
  6. No thanks. In 2003 I was standing in an English class in Mexico trying to teach them words by charades. "Break" came up, and I hit my neck with one hand and the side of my head with the other. A little too hard. There was a pop. For a few seconds I and the class looked at each other, as I waited for my body to collapse under me. Thoughts like "what a stupid way to go out" flashed through my mind. Pencils are cheap. Snap a pencil in two if you're teaching English.
  7. You need to load the goo into a water pistol. I mean a goo pistol. Take it to shi-shi events, fine dining, open houses.
  8. Depends on what mayhem happens in the Republican primaries; when Jones won the senate seat the republicans were coming off a corrupt governor meltdown (Dr. Skeletor) and a three-way split to run for senator between Angry Snow-Monkey Mo Brooks (whose sorcery did not extend south of the Tennessee,) Luther Strange (comic-book villain and bland frat-boy who'd probably have won except he was planning to pardon Skeletor's crimes,) and Roy Moore, because that bible's not gonna thump itself. Alabama deems it meet and right to have open primaries, so I and a multitude of Dems voted for Moore, because, wrench. It was still a probable Republican win until a combo of Washington Post kiddie-stalking stories and Republican rebellion brought Moore down. Half of the Repubs stayed home. About 1/10 voted write-ins. Dems smelled blood and turned out. Squeaker, but it happened.
  9. True. I submit to y'all that the money barely matters.
  10. I believe in a benevolent monarchy descended from George Washington (last I heard this was a truck driver in Iowa,) a peaceful nation who pay Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas to fight all our wars, monorails and airships servicing all villages (pilot training avoided because they'll be trained rhesus monkeys at the tillers,) required attendance at Anglican Church of America services wearing polished jack-boots (for the women, men can do whatever they want,) all children attend boarding schools where they study Latin, fencing, and horseback riding as well as one elective pertinent to the management of panicky foreigners, and every household receives a basic monthly income with extra bonuses for purchasing art, which will lead to distorted economies similar to the old days where Mom would send three individual children into a store to each buy 3 cents of candy with printed Food Stamp dollars, receiving a total of $2.91 in change, which they'd then fetch outside to Mom who would come in and buy a bottle of Thunderbird. Also, we'd discontinue the use of nickels, dimes, credit cards, crypto, and all apps except Venmo because they haven't pissed me off yet.
  11. These goofy metal climbs remind me of my first trip to Mexico. Guide book (early 90s) said they had a "New Peso" that was 3 to a dollar. I budgeted for that. Get there, and it's already 7 to a dollar. My backpackin ass suddenly had twice the cash. Oh to be young again.
  12. First time I've heard that word used outside a seafaring novel.
  13. 2025 winds to an end and I am done with shows for the year. Wasn't a bad year. Main difference was adding out-of-state shows, 1 in Tennessee, 6 in Georgia. Tennessee was like sailing around the Horn of Good Hope with shit weather, Georgia mostly sold more (shooing away several large never-sell paintings) but costing more too as two-day venues + hotel, except when I watched foosbaw with @baboso Good way to move old stock and make future previous customers. (There are several similar-sized shows nearer to home that I avoided because they were put on by Mean Old Lady art clubs and I figured they'd draw a stuffy crowd, but I'm wrong all the time so maybe I'll just do them next year instead of all but the best Atlanta shows.) My unreliable little car is no longer unreliable, because it is dead. Now I have a big warm Toyota 4Runner that could hold double the gear I take to shows. It has made driving a joy and maybe in 2026 I'll find out what Florida has to offer. For now, I draw and paint. Several categories flat sold out.
  14. Who are you and why are you winking at my sheep?
