It Snowed! (and tomorrow is Imbolg)

It almost never snows here. The first things I noticed when I stepped outside today were that it smelled very cold and that there was ice on my bicycle seat. I was just reading about how global warming incorporates "colder" in its process. I know extremes can bring people together, and I love snow, but I seriously think we should phaze out fossil fuel use without further ado.

In this town there is a hardware store called Oh Joyful and a "snack girl" bar called Harlem Fucker. Just some of the things that endear me to it.

Hi, lux! This is a very interesting blog you have here. Some of what you write about brings back a lot of memories (which explains my latest post at my blog). Sounds like you're having a good time over there.

Feel free to comment back or e-mail. Thanks for your comments!

Define and Concur, wild like cloudlight


The Writer

Wooden boats, musical instruments and fireworks are some of the best inventions. And cameras. I don't believe in following any one person or set of ideas. There are tiny satiations like orchids along the viny forest floor, blooming unseen, more gorgeous than some could keep from weeping over. Whenever I see the occasional sun rise the colors always surprise me like the flavor of tahini in Holland. Subway cars make great rhythm along the tracks, as does wind in treebranches, the sound pattern of running engines, and sometimes clothes in a dryer. I like Sumerian poetry.
