Litterbugs bug the crap outta me. I picked these up myself and carried them to a street garbage can. Me=hero. Blogging while DJing.

Sunday Blabfest

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.

Vertical Triptych – The Hamilton Fish Bridge

By hugh | Published: November 10, 2009

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.

Locksmith Sticker

By hugh | Published: June 6, 2009

Locks have a fascinating history. As a kid I was on a mailing list for a locksmith school. It’s a good trade and I sort of wish I’d followed up on it. At the time, I was afraid of being under suspicion all the time. When a crime is committed, call the locksmith. Once you [...]
