Time and Time Again
This blog goes back 10 years or more…in that time the places I have used to post my thoughts, links and whatnots have shifted from services both self hosted and otherly hosted. I think its now time to think about unifying all the bits and bitness that makes up the loose miasma of my gestalt in this place. And so I will try to once again make this the place all things can be gotten and from which a capture of things can be had. Connect the dots.
Such is the idea…..

Tennessee v. John T. Scopes Trial: Publisher E. Haldeman-Julius, standing in front of the Defense Mansion.
Originally uploaded by Smithsonian Institution
Two great historic items that go great together… The Scopes Trail and Little Blue Books publisher E Halderman-Julius. This reminds me that I need to unpack and continue cataloging the hundreds of Little Blue Books I collected a few years back.

The Family Creative Workshop Books
I found these at a treasure trove of greatness in Portland OR called the Dollar Scholar. I have 20 or so volumes, each jam packed with well written well documented howtos and diyisms. !974 and DIY was a strong force. This jared my memory a bit as I realized back in those times I made a dasheki from instructions I got from mailing in a card to Zoom. I wish there were pics of that…on second thought…

Welcome Home Delilah
After years of saying “no pets!” the family broke me down last night. Bright and early this morning off we went to a local adoption place and found us a new family member.
Delilah is a 4 year old Black Lab/German Shepherd with the pulling capacity of a tank. She took to the kids immediately, told us when she need to go outside to pewp ( a big plus) and is such a slobbering love machine it is now, an hour after getting her home, hard to imagine life without her.
