san francisco love

Posted on September 12, 2021 by | 2 comments

Sometimes music can redirect one from heading into a mental funk.

This brought on an immediate righting of the ship.

15 nice remixes of San Francisco Love by Royal Sapien. The CPM Edit is my favorite. I heard it on SomaFM, then found the 15 remixes on Deezer, both great sources of music. Youtube probably has some.

San Francisco was a beacon of hope and love for me when I was a teenager through twenties. I think much of that has drained away from that city, but I can think about those old feelings.

lucky lottery coin

Posted on September 12, 2021 by | Leave a comment

My lucky lottery coin from the NC Lottery that I got yesterday at the NC Folk Festival. It worked. I bought a $10 scratch-off which qualified me for a spin of the wheel (a la Price is Right). I won $50. 💰

Somebody’s washroom is breeding Bolsheviks again. 🧻🧼

And thar it was. Right out there on Greene Street. 😲

I’ve slapped things on traffic signal boxes before, but this one’s not mine.

last supper

Posted on September 8, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Thinking of when a good net friend in Iran sent me on messenger a selfie of him smiling under a portrait of the Last Supper.

I waited awhile and said, “you’re actually going to send me that with no explanation?”

He replied, “lol, I thought you’d find it funny, so I was waiting. They aren’t rare here. (the portrait)”

My friend is a good one with good humor.

On the cheap side but drinkable. Plenty good enough for the Nature Preserve.

At least the 1.5L bottle will last a few minutes. .75L kinda small. 🍷

200 milliliters in spanish please

Posted on September 3, 2021 by | Leave a comment

I was watching a video of this Mexican woman making a recipe, and when she said “doscientos mililitros de agua” (two hundred milliliters of water) I almost laughed because it was so beautiful. She was singing it out.

For me, Mexican Spanish appeals the most. The vowels can be so clarion.

The Spanish of Spain, Castilian, is all messed up. 😂

another e-mail mess this week

Posted on September 1, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Whenever somebody sends out an openly addressed e-mail with 100+ recipients (or more!), I always say, “Oh boy! Here comes a party in my inbox.”

The “reply all” thing from the recipients springs into action, and your inbox is busy for days, maybe a week or more.

Then there is the bonus of extra spam from people’s compromised address books.

I feel like posting the attached image as a tutorial, but I don’t want to get into it right now.
