Let’s see what happens
RAYGUN makes clever face masks
Mean Motor Scooter
Mr. Wolf reports: “I went to Santa Cruz last night to buy a very cool old motorcycle for a customer; my first social distancing vehicle purchase. A 1963 Puch SGS (aka Allstate). It’s a mechanically interesting bike. A “split single” two stroke. Two pistons going up into one combustion chamber!”

The End of the World
But here in the calm latitudes of this room
I am thinking that the end could be less operatic.
Maybe a black tarpaulin, a kind of boat cover,
could be lowered over the universe one night.
A hand could enter the picture and crumple the cosmos
into a ball of paper and hook it into a waste basket.
A gigantic door might close. A horrible bell could ring.
We could have fire, ice, bang, and whimper all at once.

Inside Sheryl Crow’s Country Home
If Kennett, Missouri, (my home town) has a claim to fame it’s Sheryl Crow. Says so on the “Welcome to Kennett” signs on each end of town. I’m 14 years older than Ms. Crow so we weren’t in school at the same time. I was more familiar with her folks. They lived just down the street (rectangle) from where I grew up.

If you liked her before, you’ll love her even more after touring her home.
Portrait of Shame
I tend to be a little preachy on the subject of people becoming addicted to their “devices.” I’m keeping this photo (and this one) to remind me to stop that shit. There I sit, with a really good book in front of me, zombied out in my phone.
