"Fun with my Stuff"




I put a tiny toy battle ship,..don't ask, anyway I put the thing in a bowl. I left it on my window sill last night. It went down to 11 degrees f. with a screaming wind. Anyway this is what it looked like in about an hour.

Frozen solid.

I poured water on my sill as well to see it freeze on contact. It did. Ain't nature grand. We had a heatwave at sun up. It must have got up to 25f. or more. I had to put the air conditioner on.









These are some ww2 guys driving their Kübelwagen, German Jeep, on top of my snow bound rear window sill yesterday. Clearly I had too much time on my hands.

I had nothing to do so I was playing with my toys, and the weather. No I have not really grown up. I suspect that very few of us have. Also like most others I've gone into intellectual hibernation. Too much crap going down, and it's always snowing or sleeting.

I think we all need at least three 80 degree days,...No Humidity!!, that, and a bar-b-q, and a day at the beach. This would recharge our collective unconscious pretty good. See you at the beach.

It's symbolic: American empire freezes in place.

Apartments in that climate oughta have storm windows. You'd save a lot in heat. Even here in Shangri LaLaLand they're handy.

Kubelwagens in the snow! Let's all go to the Eastern Front! Stalingrad awaits you!
