I am thankful for a year of mostly no work and having a lot of time to think and read and watch movies, but now I really need some work. My health is great thanks to a mostly vegan diet. I very much enjoyed the PeTA ad that got rejected by NBC. The heavy-handedness is getting a lighter touch. I don’t believe humans will ever be all vegetarians but I think we can maybe go for a more humane and healthy approach to food.

I added a couple more hundred CDs to the pile at Amazon.

Everyone knows how to win the mid-term elections except for Democrats.

I have luggage that needs to be sorted and I don’t mean I took a trip. I was disappointed that Bill Moyers is retiring before Oprah. If you want a great talking heads fest with Bill, check out this web exclusive with Glenn Greenwald. Find out why I’m disillusioned with Barack Obama and politics in general. It’s around 40 minutes so go get some popcorn if you decide to watch it.

People ask me: “Why do you have a blog with photos and one-liners when you can do that stuff for free on facebook or even blogspot and tumblr?”

You don’t really own anything you put on a site hosted by strangers. My photos are on photobucket for now but if I thought they were really worth anything, they wouldn’t be on there. I’m in it for the long haul.

A very nice bridge. Along with train stations, bridges are among the best sort of public construction. Highways are too ubiquitous. Airports have been ruined by x-rays and TV sets.

I’m selling a lot of my CDs over at Amazon. Check em out if you want some new music! Most are pretty cheap and I’ll be listing about 200 more very soon. Thanks.

When I had my car fixed in Bergen recently, I took a stroll and found some parks.

If you ever get sick of the grass, just put some cement in there.

Place benches next to nice neighbor’s sign.

Place benches in inviting formations to foster public debate and near sign discouraging public debate when the sun goes down.

He got the view of the river and I didn’t.

Happy Halloween! There were many raised eyebrows this year at Halloween being the second holiday in money-making only to Christmas. The crowd promoting the war on Christmas seem to be starting the war on Halloween [via Sadly, No!]. I always marvel that it’s the one holiday that adults get to have away from their families if they want to and at the same time, I wonder why Halloween doesn’t happen more often.

A bright moment ruined by the arrival of occupants who decided this was the best place to wait for the train that would be here in a few more moments.
