On the bit of railway tracks that I walked as a kid, dreaming of hoboing it to lands far away and never coming back. My hobo stick handkerchief is silk and I'm wearing my Guatemala Stove Project t-shirt. The black of it was sweltering in the heat. Almost too hot to believe. Even almost too hot for make-believe.

Think I'll act like a bald man and wear a hat until my hair grows back.

Oh, was that supposed to carpe diem?

But now what do I do with this extra dime on my hands?

Was going to do the idea with a carp photoshopped as a hat but that would just be overly complex and obscure.

I'm trying a new self-portrait method. Set camera on manual focus and video, then filmed and did a screen capture for a still image. Could take off the residues of the processing but kinda like them as a frame.

Maybe it's better not straight off of the screen? Think it makes a parallel story of making-of which distracts from the simplicity of the image.

Ah, Paris. Or does popcorn have the same tryptophan/serotonin as turkey? Or it might have been the company.

Don't think I even made it around to half the tables this round. But I made back the money to have a table, covered all I bought and still had dozens of dollars left over.
