Befuddled artist & marginally-productive cynic vaguely attempting to hang around & engage with smart, creative people to improve his perspectve. No, really.
And a week later, it was warmer in MO!

Here's how it looked just before sunset today. November's great for bringing out the locals, who know the tourists (anyone not in our zip code) won't be around long when it's only 60 degrees and breezy down here. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from email
Wasn't it Halloween last week?

All the retailers want to sell merchandise before it gets too late for them. - ashish
With Walmart claiming they will reduce prices each week, I suspect we will see a lot of this merchandise hanging around for many weeks as people wait for the prices to drop. - Polly Potter

Neat-o! First day off in 3 weeks, & I awaken to a backed-up bathroom sink (explains the 2am construction noise). A plunger was all I needed.

How to SMS with Google Voice from Any Mobile Phone - Google Voice - Lifehacker
"When someone sends a text message to your Google Voice number, you'll receive the text on your phone–but not from the recipient's phone number. Instead, it will be a 406 number you've never seen before, with the person's name preceding the message (as pictured here). Add that number to your recipient's address book entry as "Other" or a custom label (like "GV SMS"). Each one of your text recipients will have a different 406 number. From there on in, if you SMS that 406 number, your recipient will receive text messages from you—and it will look like they're coming from your Google Voice number. Their replies to any messages you send to that number will go back to your Google Voice number and come to you via the 406–meaning, your recipient never sees the 406 number. Like I said, it's a kluge, but it works." - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from Bookmarklet
Whoa. I just realized I haven't had a real day "off" since October 18th!
And, I'm just now getting home. Boss promises the end of crazy-making, but I suspect just being hopeful. Maybe one more day like this... - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from iPhone
Still can't quite get my cat to understand the whole 'change the clock to save daylight' thing. He argues daylight hours are still subsiding

Robert Crumb, Promoting The Book of Genesis, Plays a Set With the East River String Band - WSJ.com
"Mr. Crumb, whose artistic imagination is exceeded only by his skill at self-deprecation, has referred to himself as a "half-assed" musician (he plays various string instruments in the guitar family), but music has always played a major role in his art. He is currently on the road in the U.S. to promote his latest project, a fully illustrated "Book of Genesis." In his first full-length graphic novel, Mr. Crumb shows that even when interpreting the Bible as straightforwardly as possible, deliberately avoiding any kind of commentary or parody, his "Genesis" is frequently as strange and even perverted as anything else he's drawn." - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from Bookmarklet

Not too long after this, it started raining like cats & dogs. A REAL rain, not like the SoCal sprinkles I'm used to, back when it used to rain once and a while. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from email

Me too! And thunderstrorms! Except for the dropping temperature, this is almost as exciting a part of this whirlwind trip as the 30-yr reunion I came for! - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from email
This must be the new Midwest: I just passed two billboards, one said "Nuts!Nuts!Nuts", the next one, "Flaming Lantern". I must be lost.

Barn raisings weatherize homes to cut energy bills | Green Tech - CNET News
"Credit for the idea behind our barn raising goes to Cambridge, Mass.-based HEET, or Home Energy Efficiency Team, a volunteer group that has organized a number of these events over the past year. The goal isn't just to weatherize one building; it's to teach as well. After all, many people want to be a little more green in their personal lives--and who doesn't want to lower their utility bills?--but not everybody knows how." - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from Bookmarklet
Community-based solutions FTW!! Altho I never witnessed a barn raising (or razing), but I did get to see my grandmother's neighbors from surrounding farms come together at harvest-time to help bring in that years' crops, shock the corn stalks, put up hay bales, etc. For the longest time, I just thought that's how people did things: they helped each other because it was neighborly, and just seemed the natural thing to do. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
As an aside, I must add that I'm always amused at the confusion people have about a "barn raising" vs a "barn razing". Homonymous obfuscation FTW2 LOL - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
