A portal to the medicine cabinet mirrors of people you don’t know…but wish you did

That’s Mrs. Reed’s caption, not mine. The American Heritage Dictionary defines “dork as a  stupid, inept, or foolish person.

 I prefer Wikipedia’s definition:

“…a term used to describe someone who has unusual interests and is, at times, silly and stupid. A dork can also refer to someone who acts on his own motives without caring about his peers’ opinions.”

See the unusual interests of this extremely talented dork-knob..

Ah progress….

Its what happens when we learn something. Progression is a wonderful thing and humans are doing it all the time. But when we progress, it mostly seems to be by way of a longer than necessary route. Think lead paint. It’s so “spread-ably” good and durable! It also makes you sick. We learned that only after painting our schools with it. Think asbestos. So snugly warm!….And fire-proof! That’s progress! It also caused millions to die slowly and painfully. Well, we learned from that lesson, rest assured.

Now, allow me to me let you in on yet another new vision of human progress - a floating city, four football fields long, filled to the gills with pressurized liquid natural gas. Even worse, this monstrosity will be permanently moored in the center of  New York’s crown jewel of estuaries, the Long Island Sound. The project will supposedly save gas customers $200 dollars a year. In reality, it will be an industrial stain on this abundant and fragile eco-system. Years from now, we will learn either by way of sudden industrial disaster or by the task of cleaning up a decrepit, floating mass of industrial antiquity. Progress can be painful without a little forethought.  This is why the Broadwater natural gas terminal lies firmly in the glare of our hairy eyeball.

There’s a shorter way to real progress… More on this to come…In the meantime, check out the heroic efforts of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment… 

 Four locks of hair supposedly snipped from our first president has fetched $17,000 at auction. The hairs were given to Colorado resident Christina Allen by her father, a Philadelphia attorney. Dad says the hair has been passed down by generations of family members pressed between two pieces of glass. The story is that the hair was clipped while GW was disinterred in 1837. Just can’t let sleeping presidents lie, eh? The story prompted me to search my apartment for possibly valuable heirlooms from history. I found Howard Hughes’ toe-nail clippings and Mamie Eisenhower’s million dollar fudge recipe! Wooowee! I’m rich!

She’s a dancer, a choreographer and a performance artist….a self-described office slag and a compulsive photographer. Well thank goodness for that last part because there’s lots to love in Megan Mayer’s photos. I love her dashboard shots. They remind me of the movie Fargo. Even more, I love her TV duets. I’ve never seen so many pictures that made me wish I was there….with a casual and easy way out, of course. Megan’s got a great a eye and a lovely sense of humor. Her pictures with her mom are wonderful. Only the brave give up bedheads like these… We need more Megan Mayers in this world…
