Daily Threads / 19-NOV-24 One Day More (until ...
Last post by DiveMilw - Nov 19, 2024, 07:46 PM
I have to work tomorrow and then I'm off to Scottsdale, AZ for some much looked forward to vacation!!  
This weekend is the first weekend of Hidden in the Hills Artist Studio Tour.  This year 44 studios/homes have opened to the public.  Most of them will host multiple artists.  It takes three days to see them all.  Seeing art can be exhausting.   Even more exhausting is having exercising restraint and not buying every piece you like. :D

Two of my favorite artists are Kathy Q Parks and Scarlett Fiona Reed.  The level of talent in the area is off the charts.  There are several others I like and I bought a few small pieces from them.  The catalog for the show is on the website if you want to take a look.

See?
A perfect tree.
Pretty isn't beautiful, Mother,
Pretty is what changes.
What the eye arranges
Is what is beautiful.

If it's not some alarm, it's a backfire.
Either that, or the blatt of a horn.
It's but one of the joys of the city: the noise.
Sir, as sure as the day I was born,
That was a shot.

What a perfect day!

Anita's gonna get her kicks
Tonight.
We'll have our private little mix
Tonight.
He'll walk in hot and tired,
Poor dear.
Don't matter if he's tired,
As long as he's here
Tonight!

Some get a boot 
From shooting off cablegrams
Or buzzing bells
To summon the staff,
Some climbers get their kicks
From social politics

Your arms entwined
You steal below
And far behind
At the edge of day
The bong of the bell of the buoy in the bay
And the boat and the boy
And the bride are away!

Daily Threads / 12-NOV-24 Cargo and Cavities
Last post by DiveMilw - Nov 12, 2024, 06:24 PM
Last week and this week I am attending Cargo classes.  Last week was Dangerous Goods acceptance which I will eventually be teaching.  This week is the intro to Cargo class where we learn how to use iCargo, the software we (and many, many other airlines) use to process and track our cargo shipments.  I am not sure if I'm in the class to make me a more rounded instructor or if I might eventually teach that class as well.  Either way I'm learning a lot and having some fun.  As a bonus, since I am a student, my lunch is provided!  

I had to leave class early today to go to the dentist.  I haven't been since just before I left CT 2 years ago.   :o   I was having a very hard time finding a new dentist.  One of my doctor's recommended this one and I really like her.  While they were working on three different teeth (these are problem teeth that I knew were going to need work. My old dentist had been watching them, trying to put off root canals.)  I got to watch The Great British Baking Show.  It was a perfect distraction, so much that a couple of times I didn't hear her ask me to open or close my mouth. The only downside is that it made me hungry for pastries....while I was having cavities worked on.   :)) :))
