Rotorglow

One of the things I like most about summer is the muggy, quiet nights when it's late and even in the city the crickets are chirping. There's something strangely calming about the hazy, orange moon crescent, and how it hangs low and waxing, rising later and later (or staying lower and lower at a given time each night, sidereal and precession effects being what they are), getting more and more unfamiliar, because, really, who's up at 3am on a summer night when the moon is low?, reminding you always of how things wind down.

Two years ago this weekend, I was on the Cape during another hurricane watch.

Where I was last weekend. It looks even better in the daylight.

Nearly-full moon, and Jupiter.

And that means salvage warehouses in depressed whaling towns.

believe how busy I've been lately. It's not really a bad thing, exactly. But it's good that the weekend is here.

And autocross season begins in earnest tomorrow.

A turnaround? Maybe. Maybe.

It's not obvious that anyone reads this, but....

Did you know I have a tumblblog with an even less-well thought-out design than this blog? I tend to link to other people's stuff over there, rather than here, but it's all part and parcel of what's going on in my head.

Or some fraction of it anyway.

I also tweet, but that's under lock and key for now.

Well, I'm not sure it really answers the question. But I had a dream last night that this guy, Bernie Ecclestone, the "boss" of Formula One racing, came to my apartment to fix a clogged sink.

And not his conventionally-hot, PETA-ad-doing, pit-girl daughter.

The Feelies

The Feelies are always able to provide a heavy splash of awesome no matter what, and last week was no exception.

I'm not sure why I only do "serious" photography at Feelies shows, but I do.

This is Bill Million.

I know it tore off siding and exploited leaky roofs and blew things over and flooded basements, but I actually rather enjoyed the continuous gale-driven rain that lashed my windows for 3 days.

It provided nice cover for hunkering down and not having anything to do.

I'm giving us a year to get this thing figured out.
