I helped a friend
fill a dumpster with crap out of his house. His girlfriend was there
supervising. Many times he said "in the name of domestic tranquility
this goes." Then yet another piece of crap would go out. I stopped at
my bike to divert these things from the waste bin. Not shown are
another three of those tacky rolls that are already keeping my door
carpet from drifting towards the door.
These are absolutely
the last tomatoes my vines produced in 2010. I say that with authority
because after I picked them and put them on this saucer I pulled out
the vines. Walking across the parking
lot towards the dumpster with the large handful of carbon that had been
pulled from the atmosphere on my porch as my plants,
I found one last tomato in the vines. That's the one in the center of
the dish.

10/16/10:
I
figured
it
was
time
to
figure
out
whom
to
vote
for
for
State
Assembly.
The
LWV
had
a
debate
scheduled
in
Los
Altos.
I
showed
up.
Turns
out
that
the
only
candidate
that
responded
was
the
Libertarian,
Tim
Campbell,
so
they
canceled
it.
I'm
voting
Libertarian
for
that
office!
For 10/10/10 I
went to the farmers market, ate leftovers with fresh lettuce salad on
the porch, rode my bike to Sunnyvale and figured out how to send a
picture from a cell phone, rode home and cooked myself supper. Then I
saw Gore live on TV and put this picture here.
Does
it
take
a
conspiracy
theorist
to
think
that
climate
crisis
coalition
mailing
was
time
stamped
at
one
of
the
most
urgent
sounding
minutes
of
the
day?
