today's pictures

it's taking me longer to fall into the long zen of driving...switching from npr to bob marley is helping with that

most of the casino billboards seem to feature women -- always at least one blonde -- with very large mouths. why the large mouths? does that convey "fun" to us monkeys? just seems odd to me.

I'm going to type notes, ideas..lots of typos...and then edit & post 'em later. it some ways I'm wishing I had a voice recorder, but I doubt I'd ever transcribe 'em. text is my thing.

I took a bunch of pictures while driving East to Wild Willie's hot springs, early Saturday morning.

This is where I got good, thanks largely to playing with Todd. Our first tag-team session was Thursday evening; afterwards we gathered some more friends and wandered around most of the night, then came back in the morning to join forces with Dan Haskvoec and Monk E to play a nice morning shackgroove set, partially captured on minidisc.
