If something is “technically possible”
there is little doubt
that someone will be foolish or greedy enough to try to actually try to *do* it.
On rare occasion, they will actually succeed.
Even more rarely will their success prove to be a good thing for humanity as a whole.
Almost never will the ramifications of success be considered *before* the attempt is made.
A few reactions the 2010 State of the Union address….
Here also is an interesting AP fact check.
New shots of fitness competitor Toni are up on her page.
These shots were taken at a nearby diner before it opened for the day, and the lighting was very eclectic and fun– everything from neon to soft light to reflections from the chrome.
The presence of an old VW van for sale in the parking lot, combined with Toni’s fortunate choice of casual wardrobe, also enabled me to recreate a sort of idealized 1950s vacation snapshot or two.
I still have two? three? more shoots with Toni waiting to be posted (including one at the location with the breathtaking light), but to be fair to everyone I’m trying desperately to process all the backlog in chronological order.
Next up are new shots of Adrienne Ann Smith, who has been extraordinarily patient waiting for her updates.
Erma Lee Lucas nee Pierce
entered this world on April 09, 1934
and passed peacefully
and without apparent pain
at 4:49 A.M. on January 19, 2010
in Hollywood, Florida.
May God grant her serenity and peace.
A celebration of her life was held in April of 2007.
In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society or the charity of your choice.
I’m quoting my own works here, which might indicate some small lack of effort, or perhaps I’m just saving the environment by recycling. Either way I like this better and I hope you do too.
The debutante Duck was feeling quite sad
so a Daschund she found in a romantic ad
The Duck got a long little doggie to tea
Wonderment happened, now the Platypus Be.A fetching young grizzly was feeling alone
So off the the zoo bar she went on her own
A handsome young penguin she happened to see
Wonderment happened, now the Panda Bear Be.That selfsame young Panda had grown up a lot
“Some kids of my own would be perfect!” she thought.
She rode on a Horse and was married to he,
Wonderment happened, now the Ze-boh-rah Be.A grumpy old Badger was dreaming while nappin’
of a sexy spined Sea Urchin. Hey, strange things happen!
He brought home a wife from his trip to the sea
Wonderment happened, now the Porcupine Be.Despite all these wild pairings shown unto thee,
Nothing explains why a Congressman Be.
I finished porting the last nine shows from 2006 into Coppermine. Someday I will get the older shows up as well.
