Knock, knock...

Anybody home?  I guess not, maybe I should come back later.

So, last month was Pride Month, formerly Gay Pride Month but I guess they shortened it.  Which got me wondering, why is Pride the only one of The Seven Deadly Sins that has its own month?  Seems to me that the other deadly sins are equally worthy and should be recognized as such,  so I have a few suggestions to start with.  Gluttony is easy, should be November (Thanksgiving).  Likewise, December is obvious for Greed (Holiday shopping).  How about February for Lust (Valentines Day)?  You get the idea.

(going back a bit...)
The next photo shows the greatest hits buried under what appears to be mostly the tools of the gentleman (or mad, potato potahtoe) scientist.  Is that digital printer poop in the lower right?

No, that isn't digital printer poop; it's a painted piece of aerosol foam for a model of a monumental sculptural piece depicting The Purple Turd.  Long story relating to FedEx, maybe for later explanation.

Looking at that picture, the only tools that I can see are a wooden clamp and a small "torpedo" spirit level.  The rest of the stuff is just crap that I like having around to look at, helps my mind wander.  You want to see some tools?  Here are some of my screwdrivers...

Harvested the first jalapeno from a plant I got going on our little garden patio.  More flowers are showing up so there are more peppers to come.  Made a nice batch of refried beans and there will be guacamole once the other peppers arrive.

I recall you guys mentioning that there are some things that you just don't have time for and I can't figure that out.  I seem to have more than enough time on my hands; maybe I'm doing something wrong.  I'm still unpacking after two years, finding curious stuff and doing a lot of rearranging.  I embrace the fluid nature of my delusional reality and it's keeping me on my toes.

Here's something that Mr. Beagles may appreciate, Uncle Ken not so much.  I'm a longtime fan of those industrial-type gray shelving units found in many basements, shops, and garages.  The only beef I have with them is that once in place you can't easily move them and this idea popped into my head recently.  A scrap piece of 2x4, some casters and zip ties and you're in business.  Working very well, so far.  Good things can happen when you don't throw anything out...

I caught this sunset the other day and I thought it timely with the release of Christoper Nolan's new film Oppenheimer.
