Peace all.
For no particular reason I have not “done” blog awards in a long time. I know they’re useful for connecting folks to new blogcasas that they might not otherwise discover. They can be an interesting form of networking in blogland. I have appreciated each one that has come my way while blogging. I just often get caught up in using my blog time tossing out posts about other things that have caught my attention. So this is an effort to not forget about two recent awards from Jingle and eva626. Thanks to both of you for your kind words and thoughtfulness. In return I thought I’d create my own award visual using one of my energyscapes, “Touch,” for whomever decides to accept and post an award visual at their blogcasa. Hey, an artist is always on the prowl for exposure! LOL. So, if you see “Touch” making its way around blogland beyond here to new blogcasas that would be a way of tracing how far our connections have traveled. I hope others will reach out and touch others with “Touch.”

"leaves and stones" @ eva wojcik
Wow, it’s been busy here–traffic in one door and out the other from the looks of the tracks left by visitors to blogcasa. Welcome folks, newcomers and regulars. Yes, Al, that includes you too, river blog artist. Quick by the way, yes, I do have the best of intentions to return the favors of visitors who have left tracks and to do something about a couple of networking blog awards–which always seem to present when moi is most distracted by things outside of blogland. No slights intended to Jingle or eva626. Hopefully I do all things by rights and create some webby connections for you both. Meanwhile, I hope you all enjoy “leaves and stones” from my falling in love with my Minolta x 700 collection. If you’re stateside, all the best hoped for with all things taxed, taxing and taxable–unless you’re GE of course. Why should any corporation pay federal taxes, right? Oh I don’t know, maybe to contribute THEIR fair share to the collective potluck? Then again, corporate personhoods are more special than that rest of us persons. Afterall, they’re not really persons at all except in legalese. Hey, maybe that’s the tax-free ticket for the rest of us–declare ourselves ”corporate persons” so that we too will be tax-free. Wonder how long any government will continue functioning or even be-ing once that happens. Hmm?
Okay, well, must run off elsewhere besides aqui para uno tiempo. Everyone play nice. Oh and all the best to the ongoing recall efforts in Wisconsin. Four down and four to go. Recalls to keep everyone busy and focused until they can beam Scotty up and out. Ain’t he lucky those Wisconsinites aren’t inclined towards French historical activities?
“I’ll be back.” LOL
“run way” Painted Hills style

"run way" @ eva wojcik
Because I have the sense that I ought to write something entertaining I’m writing. Though the entertainment rating of what I’m currently typing is probably going to prove to be very marginal indeed. Photo above is from the Painted Hills in Oregon. I stayed at a Historical Hotel which offered hostel beds at the time for just ten buckeroos per night in Mitchell, Oregon. Not bad considering I had all the bunk beds to meself AND a huge tub in which to languish in a hot bath one evening. It was good. Plus, there was Henry the Bear right across the street. There is much to be said for going “hostel” when travelling. Cheap beds say a lot to me. Spent two weeks in Washington D.C. at a hostel for the price of probably one night at some swanky hotel down the street. I bet no one at the high dollar bedrest met any of the interesting folks available for yapping at the HI-hostel. No siree. Philosophy professors, indie film-makers, teachers, retirees, globe-trotting backpackers, and free spirits galore milling about 24/7. Bet the over priced hotellies also didn’t have pool table for 24 hour play in the lobby either. As for entertainment–well–there were the very hard-working Ladies of the Evening from dusk to 7:30 am on the corner of K and 11th. Hostels are often equipped for do it yourself cooking–and that’s a plus if you endure food allergies and your wallet. You can learn a lot about people from the food they cook to how they go about cooking it. Don’t ever think you know exactly what German potato pancakes ought to be–because someone will surely share some version with you that you never dreamed existed. Ever hostelled and willing to share your adventure? Hm? Anyone else meet up with Henry the bear in Mitchell, Oregon? Do tell. We can amuse each other endlessly, I’m sure.
Spring chatter a la “squirrel talk”

"squirrel talk" @ eva wojcik 2011
Here’s a touch of whimsy for all us squirrel lovers. Yes, indeed there are those of us who enjoy the antics of the furry tailed rodents that many others despise for chowing down on birdseed like greedy children devouring free samples in a candy store. Hey, are there still such things as “candy stores” as in shops devoted solely to offering candy in a multitude of flavors and varieties? Come to think of it, I have not been in such in a long time. Anyone out there in blogland know of a candy shop? If you’re a squirrel then black sunflower seeds may be candy along with peanuts in the shells. My grandfather once “addicted” a squirrel to an oreo cookie a day. Long ago I wrote “Mugged by a squirrel for plum”–a true adventure on the campus of U of Cal, Berkeley. Yes, MUGGED was the correct word for that little gangster’s antics. Care to share your close encounters with some of our oh so adaptable high wire scramblers deluxe? Or are you just wondering what they’re plotting above?

Isn’t it odd how some paper ‘sizes’ just lend themselves to certain image inclinations? More of this landscape play is in order methinks–for moi and the Sumi-E s delightful pigments.

petri dish @ eva wojcik 2011
Original 6″ x 18″ 140 lb cold press watercolor
Yasutomo Sumi-E watercolors
Yes, folks, what’s thriving in your very own kitchen science projects residing in your refrigerator? Oh don’t deny that interesting unknown entities are multiplying , dividing and reproducing profusely in some remote section of your fridge–or kitchen cabinets. Everyone is farming some sort of biological life form somewhere in their personal environment–including the invisible to the human eye varieties. If you don’t agree with my choice of title and word allusions for this watercolor, please do suggest whatever title seems most appropriate based on your engagement with the image and colors. You are encouraged to “freely associate” at will.
Democracy parades in Madison. No more “Walkers” allowed!

I do believe the working people of Wisconsin are giving brand new meaning to the old slogan–”Workers of the World Unite!”
Clearly this is not the end but the beginning of a new worker movement as is evident from Facebook pages where Wisconsinites and their growing ranks of supporters organize boycotts of banks and Koch products to recalls of right-wing Republican backstabbing politicians.
Beware the enemy inside the city capital gates.
Our times, “they are a changin’” big time.
14 Democractic State Senators with guts? Who knew!?! Super Glue!
Puppets for truth in funding.
One more for just for truth telling fun.
Love cheese? Milk a dairy farmer. Cheese = Wisconsin gold.
Cows outting big pictures.
Koch whore? Who? Walker? Say it ain’t so, Scotty! We dare you.
Dumb drug money.
Who needs a little red wagon when ya got a big red tractor?
Roots digging deeper day by day.

Much thanks to intrepid “Concerned Madison Parent” for this ground zero visual record of the united ranks of Wisconsin’s working class people.

Wow, Charles, very cool satire bakes in your brain-oven! This is rockin’ poetic Alien news coverage of planet Earth’s residents. If you venture to slpmartin’s Read Between the Minds: Poetry, Photography and Random Thoughts of Life–you can catch his very alluring audio renditions of his poetry. I so hope there’s more from where Stellar Remnants emerged. Thank you, slpmartin, for sharing this delightful entertainment.

While recently hanging out at Ryeder’s blogcasa I took note of his very informative post about why Wal-Mart sucks-again. If you just can’t contain your curiosity as to what’s eating his skin go read his lovely lively list asap–>
http://ryeder.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/walmart-sucks-again/
And please do take your own dungballs for flinging at Wally World for disposal in Ryeder’s compositional compost pile. Please don’t be shy–go share your “Wal-Mart sucks” data at will. It might distract the gent from his “missing” cigars. Full explanation regarding said cigars is available via his rambling weblog.
While I was video shopping at YouTube I came across this delightful gem posted below. And I learned about Wal-Mart’s “dead peasants.” Do other companies take out “dead peasant” policies on their employees? I don’t know. Do you? If so, do tell. Where have I been? Oh–definitely NOT in any Wally World since I went on a search and discovery mission to see and hear their Homeland Security alliance for myself. I purchased nothing. I simply loitered and spied. PS–It smelled strange in Liberty’s Wally World that day.
