Raining here this week. I love the rain. Everything gets green, including the moss on the trunks of the oak trees.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My son Rudy put a skylight in his living-room. It doesn\u2019t leak!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m playing with Lightroom all the time. Used a blue filter on this color picture to kill the overbrightness of the light fixture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to be reborn as a crow. People used to imagine that animals work really hard to get enough food each day. Turns out, they can fill up with about an hour or hour-and-a-half of pecking. The rest of the day is for hanging out. Cawing and flapping. And no computers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We took two of our grand-daughters to this funny old place in Oakland called Fairyland this week. It\u2019s very much a home-brew folk-art construct. When I was a boy in Kentucky, there were lots of places like this. Disneyland didn\u2019t exist yet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We even saw a puppet-show of Cinderella. I always wondered about the glass slipper. Would it be comfortable?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We hit a science museum the week before. \u201cHow many bones?\u201d\u009d This sign made me laugh, remembering an Underground comic strip years ago that started off, \u201cI’d just smoked two big bones of the good old green and…\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The year\u2019s dwindling down. Around this time it gets to be hard to remember what day of the week it is. The calendar breaks and falls apart. And we take a little rest among the ruins of the decaying year, making merry with our relatives and friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
