It was sunny today, and cold. I walked up to the city county building to do some training so I can work on early voting at the library on Saturday, and there was a girl in front of me with Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead and other hippie-dippie embroidered patches on her backpack. I was thinking she probably wasn’t even born when Jerry died, scuffing along in her Ugg boots and almost tie-dye pattern leggings and big parka with a fur-trimmed hood. I don’t think it was one of the $800 Canada Goose ones that seem so popular on campus this winter – probably a Target knockoff. She slowed down a little bit, and must’ve had her boyfriend on face time – I could hear him saying, “blue skies, baby”. She replied, “want to hear about my salad? it had romaine lettuce and quinoa and olives and feta”.<\/p>\n
I want to make art and beauty and good food to counteract all the ugliness in the world now, with the “mangled apricot hellbeast” in office – thanks Michal Martens<\/a> for the apt description.<\/p>\n I did make some good food over the weekend, but no good pictures – no light.<\/p>\n This 40 second video is good for a smile.<\/p>\n
