on the way to work yesterday, I spied a three-story high McGruff the Crime Dog on the Mall. I didn't have time to get off the bus and when I went back after work he was deflated, as are we as a nation.

everybunny's invited
Somewhere between chick tracts and YouTube lies the lost artform of the filmstrip - what some critics call the ur-Powerpoint. This program celebrates not only the educational filmstrips that delighted and bored students of a certain age, but commercial titles used to promote everything from lab safety to the new fall fashion season ... circa 1971.
Focus on Filmstrips

seeing beyond sight

Photography wasn't the obvious subject to teach at Governor
Morehead School for the Blind.
Even Jackie, one of the first three students to take the class,
was incredulous: "What are you thinking, teaching photography
to blind people?"
As a photographer, I feared losing my eyesight and began to wonder,
"If I were blind, could I still make photographs?"

" I like to watch the clown best of all"
He turned one knob, then another. Then he waited a second. There it was -- the program with all his little television friends on it! And now came the big jolly clown!
The clown told about the new baby elephant in the circus. He sang a funny song. It was a wonderful program.
Zippy was getting hungry again.
from Zippy the Chimp, 1953

the oldest profession
teepee town (I didn't know it was called that until I googled it!), the old drug store in st augustine, was built on the site of an old indian burial ground. the place is loaded with displays of old medicine bottles, cosmetics, and other drugstore staples. it doesn't appear to be a currently operating pharmacy, but rather a purveyor of the usual florida souvenir shop trinkets (sans smiley-faced oranges, which we couldn't find *any*where) and lots and lots of crap. the thomas kinkade gallery was just down the street.

Some friends of my brother's live in New York's legendary Hotel Chelsea, so when they found out I was coming to stay there they interviewed me for their excellent blog and gave me a tour of the place. Thanks Debbie and Ed!

baby doll
"I'm sitting around trying to write a letter
I'm wracking my brains trying to think of another word for horse
I ask my brain for some assistance
and he says: huh...lets see...how about cow? That's close."
-- Laurie Anderson, "Baby doll"

character
somebody found my blog googling "succubus mating pictures." I wish I had a nickel for every time I was asked that question, and I'd like to pay it forward with this.
