SF Carousel (for Kirschen)

We called 'em Hurdy Gurdys when I was a kid which I have just discovered refers to the way the music is produced.

We have a steam operated unit that appears at our major summer festivals.

at LAX you must go if only for their inventive approach to Caesar Salad

so I gave into gender stereotypes

and had some fun drawing these two whom we shall call Mama and Papa.

and my point is

that gender stereotypes are so deeply ingrained it will be a long time before we are free.

my very dear friend Jeremy's response to my latest injury

Hey I have a cane for you tucked under my Tusk (his home wares shop) counter... plus I have dressed it up with a couple of Mac stickers.

If I have time I will look at also attaching some rainbow streamers and a bell (and perhaps a little night light).

No, I wasn't drunk. Warning - slightly gruesome photo attached.

When I tumbled down a flight of stairs. And as I'm tumbling I'm worried about the MBP in my backpack. Seriously - as I'm tumbling ! But she's unharmed. So glad I spent $150 on a really strong well padded backpack. I'm guessing I'll be fairly stiff and sore in the morning but as my darling neighbour Greg said when I text him to say MBP was ok 'that's good cos you're much cheaper to fix".

Gotta love a small town

The Launceston Blues Club (up north) and the Hobart Blues Club (down south) decide to have a jam session midway - Oatlands. So the RSL come to the party (returned service men and women's league) and I decide to catch a bus to partake. BUT just as my bus pulls up in Oatlands a main electric supply junction box blows up. The town of Oatlands is without power - probably for 12 hours. The good news - the kitchen at the RSL runs on gas ( propane for my USA mates) so my lunch is safe and it will be quite awhile before the chardy gets too warm drink. Bad news - the musos need electricity. So one of the locals rings his mate who's in the SES (State Emergency Service) who agrees that this IS an emergency and sets up a petrol (gas for my USA mates) generator. The Show goes on.

for my car loving friends

and I'm loving this concept

but need to learn how to stop the pixelation. vector graphics ?
