~~~ I'm glad I didn't say "More _as soon as_ I get back".

~~~ All the long-term things I was doing back at journal before last are still going on: Repairs and maintenance, sorting out the studio, helping friends, a few parties, shopping, research, work on things that won't be done for months yet, lunches and teas, business conferences, sleep, petting the cat, cooking dinners, daily chores, odds and ends.... Plus more vending (which worked out well, and I got to see good friends that I seldom am with in person, and give and receive gifts of art material that is currently turning into art). My health has been good, dentistry has been nominal and delightfully boring (I think I've told you that I don't like exciting dentistry), and changes to deviantART haven't broken my browser. The cat developed health problems which were diagnosed as hyperthyroidism, and after some initial problems with the medication he seems to be doing OK. And the weather has been mostly sunny and cold, but cloudy and rainy currently. Art is getting done, slowly and in-between all the other stuff, but steadily.

~~~ There were wild turkeys in the back yard for a few days. They were also on the roof and in the street. Some web research showed that they started wandering into the area last October, though this is the first time I had seen or heard of them. The crows moved in a couple of years back, and are now permanent residents. I would rather not have the turkeys do the same.

~~~ I'm off again, briefly, this time to ConSonance, the local gathering for traditional science-fiction music. Meanwhile, here are a few items I'd like to share:
Eagle owl landing at 1000 frames per Second towards a camera: [link]
Oil Company Uses Artists' Works Without Compensation: [link]
Earthmine truck seen on nearby Solano Avenue; their web site:[link]

~~~ Be well, folks!
