Musings

Things change

I’m convinced that I met the Guru because of Ted’s choice to become a media guy. Of course, it wasn’t that simple! RIP, Ted.

I asked the Guru to create an image that portrays the intersection of his design work and Ted’s stations. There’re interesting visual tidbits.

Stylin’

Detroit style is what? Extra oily? Dunno. Is there Grand Rapids style, too?

Color arriving

I spotted The Moment when the dawn-pinks were raging, although I didn’t linger to discover if the sky would get brighter.

We got to watch the sign painters in action while waiting at a traffic light.

Trash talk

I cleaned up a forgotten corner of the yard and found this abandoned Nerf-toy entrapped in new spring greenery. I couldn’t tell what neighbor-property it came from to toss it back, so I guess I’ll donate it to the city next Garbage Day.

Race afoot

I woke up and listened to…quiet. I thought: Sunday. Then, I thought: it’s even quiet for a Sunday. Then, I remembered: marathon. Nearby, and not on our street, but near enough to change traffic patterns, especially diverting through traffic. Hence: unusual quiet from lack of vehicles.

RR ≠ always railroad

I don’t know why, but the neighbor’s fancy ride, which is usually only parked in his garage, was out in the elephants.

SpeedRacer! Touchdown!

I meant to post this yesterday…we had a Mardi Gras parade in our neighborhood. This was afterwards, just normal illegal parking. Not all the festivities this weekend had to do with athletes.

Arty enlargement

I wanted to look at the snowflake emoji close up. While researching, I found out this is the Apple snowflake, not The Other Kind. I like that it’s off axis and not exactly aligned up-down, and side-to-side.

A long time ago, I looked at a few snowflakes close up. This is not what they looked like…not delicate enough. But it works great displayed in my texting app.

Blueberry extras

You may have heard about this nasty storm system—2K miles plus wide. We’ve been hearing about it for at least a week, along with warnings to Prepare. I got these household must-haves on Tuesday. Tuesday, mind you. Yes, we’re Prepared.

Yesterday, I visited the drug store for non-groc items. I did not buy one of these. The coming storm is a rain-becoming-ice storm, so snow shovels not effective.

However, the storm coming after this one, yup, it may snow on us. Let’s get through this weekend first, though. I am not looking forward to it At All.

Incongruities

Shall we ponder the contrasts between the angles and the shapes they outline, and the organic shapes of the twigs through the glass?
