feed the body & soul
Fantastic day with lepi, turbocat, some 2- and 4-leggeds from Faerie Court Farm, and other good friends. Made even more wonderful because cookies began, continued, became even more numerous....
Mmm, cookies.
Yesterday scanned 4 or 5 pictures (old and new), which I will post after I have a chance to format them for the web. Yay for doodleworks. Am making progress on a series of 3 sample illustrations for a kids book, and am in consequence discovering I know jack-all or less about the colors of shadows, let alone where they go, and then let alone again how I can put them there on the page. Hrmph.... Not knowing about the ok-ness of web publication in advance of paper-book pub (should I be so lucky), I'm not posting these for feedback, but wish like heck I were.
In other news, for ruthling: http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/005599.htmlPortland [the one in Oregon] is rolling out onstreet bike parking to accommodate the myriad of cyclists who need a place to stash their bikes while they work, shop, and plot to change the world.
In case you wondered why knowing about climate change/global warming is important:when at customs, the officer of Homeland Security asks about the goal of my visit, I proudly tell him about the training. He goes: “Why that’s a mistake! They will brainwash you! They claim it's all about that carbon dioxide...but do you even know how much carbon dioxide there is in the atmosphere?” I do - 380 ppm (parts by million) - but quite frankly, I’m thrown. I get myself together and tell him that there’s a non-controversial correlation between the CO2 levels and the global temperatures averages, and also about how CO2 triggers the atmosphere to take up more water vapor, which in turn also works as a greenhouse gas ... but to no avail. The people in line behind me are stunned, and so am I. I thought I was going to Tennessee, but somehow I landed in the State of Denial.
...Two hundred people coming from all fifty US states, from Slovenia, Uganda, Bali, Mexico, Canada and Belgium (supposedly, out of 4500 applicants for that session). The youngest is 14, the oldest must be the mid to late sixties. There are scientists, business-owners, students, editors, post-doc researchers, sales executives, professors, lawyers, architects, engineers, actors, nurses, writers, physicians, ministers, etc. All committed to do something about the climate crisis.
