For a brief moment last month I put this up for sale. Then sanity returned and I decided to keep it. It’s the best camera body I’ve ever had. Operation is fast, faultless. The image files it produces are a pleasure to look at and work with. Dynamic range, color, and noise are excellent. If I had to find something to complain about it would be that the shutter clack is too loud, but it’s a small price to pay for this excellent Nikon camera.

Campy pedal stamped NJS.

Campy pedal stamped NJS.

Campagnolo older style pedals with toe clips and straps. These have an NJS stamped on the left pedal. This was a mark used in Japan to signify quality approval for Keirin racing on the track. At least that’s what I’ve been told.

A year on…

I was walking down that sunny street

When the news came to sweep me off my feet

head started spinning, heart stopped beating

life is vibration, the words fell to the floor

“you are somebody!” she said.

“don’t let anyone tell you different.”

The summer was short and hot…

Suits are telling us how to live…

Suits are making rules about economics…

Suits have corruption for a god…

Suits have big bank accounts…

Suits want you to follow rules they find

     inconvenient for themselves…

…to be continued…

Politicians

They want me to live their dream,

but I don’t like their dream…

Little Criminals…

Being strange isn’t a crime…

Gossip…

“Karl told Evelyn

that he put his ‘tea pot’

in Sheryl night before last.”

“Did Evelyn tell you?”

The herd…

Politicians relativize everything

into a comfortable mediocrity…

Sushi dreams…

In a restaurant…

“What are you doing here?”

She replies…

“Research. I’m a scientist.”

My sneakers…

will change society…

my sneakers will change your mind…

my sneakers are

so peace and love will be…

Ticking clocks…

no more days and nights

no more smells like fresh cut grass

no more looking into her eyes

no more talk = alone at last

The first day…

I’ve often mistaken light for good

and the crowd for comfort…
