You give me discord and I give you a panda and an amendment.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The only reasonable way to stop a handful of assholes with box cutters is to undermine the rights of 300 million people. Nothing else will do the job. Sleep tight and don’t let the data miners bite.
We should be watching for these guys. They be data-miners.

Is that one of your creations, Knucklehead? I remember you having some cool images in the photo fair last fall.
Rise of the machines.
It`s a photo I took at a memorial for an artist friend of mine. There was a big biker turnout & this was a headlight on one of the bikes. It`s full scale & has a gold tooth. I melted the front forks into leather & made him a data-miner.
Nice of you to remember.
the brain corral and other pix made an impression. We’re already talking about doing another fair this year, hope you’ll participate. (probably in October again)
It’s interesting to go back and look through those diaries now …
I had forgotten about what pix I put in the photofair. That`s how my brain really functions. Like it`s in a maze.
How do you access the photofair from last year. I `d like to go see all those photos from the participants.
I see the “Flower Lady`s” thumbnails all the time & they always remind me of when I was out sowing the wild oats.

Oh that would be great. Actually, I was on the orange road when I saw a billboard about a photofair & went to see what it was about. I`m still doing photography & I`m still here.
I also have set up a few more reefs here & have quite a few new specimens.
Here`s one I`ve been trying to trap for three yrs. & finally got him.

What is that?
It`s a fuzzy crab that I call “FLUFFY” but it`s actually a natural born killer.
The showing part of the glass he`s in is 4″ wide. It`s one of those animals that hitch-hike in on live rock or corals. They`ll be hidden in a crack & you don`t see them untill out of the corner of your eye one night you swear something moved. When I went to search for “Natural Born Killer”
I found it in a BOOMAN folder so maybe this was in the photofair.

Well, he does look fluffy. This is a great shot too, but the one of him in the glass is really superb.
And nice painting you linked to of your friend’s work!
I’m going off to bed now … thanks for sharing your photo links KNUCKLEHEAD.
If it`s not rude allow me to show my friend`s artwork. It`s an oil,
done about 30 yrs. ago.

Nerdified Link.
As I understand it, that declawed tabby chased the bear up the tree twice.
it’s real, here’s the AP story. Moral: don’t mess with Jack
Anybody here besides Chris and myself recognize the source of the title of this diary?
One of Charles Mingus’s greatest compositions.
Go here to hear a sample of it.
And pay attention to Mingus. Not only was he one of the five roots of the bebop revolution (The others being Thelonius Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and Max Roach.) of the ’40s and ’50s that absolutely and forever changed what we know of as “music” (Harmonically and rhythmically, what these men devloped in a little basement club in Harlem has indelibly influenced every note of popular music that we have heard for over 60 years.)…he was the ONLY one to clearly and plainly state his politico-social opposition to the emerging PermaGov in unequivocal terms.
Musically AND otherwise.
A visionary and a genius.
Check his shit out.
Later…
