A couple of days after meeting Kaz I dropped by his shop and saw these cedar timbers outside. They were throwing them out, said they were going to use them for firewood... I couldn't believe it! Kaz had told me about them, how they'd got a special permit from the forest service to harvest these trees down around Mt. Rainier, how it took three days. Kaz & Co had built the tea house in the Arboretum. I'm not sure if these logs were related to that project, but they sure looked good on top of my car. I've been driving around with them ever since. ha!
I pedaled by the Jefferson Park reservoir the other day and peeked inside. It's looking impressive. It'll be nice to think of this view when standing in the park above.
A glint of green caught my eye. Then I stared and marveled. I realized...dried spider blood. There was some amazing phosphorescence going on. It was late afternoon, the sun hitting my desk sideways. The spider had gotten squished between the glass tabletop and its support, its been there for a while, months even, and now, with the suns rays hitting it just so, it totally lit up. Some crystalline refractive property of dried spider blood. I wonder if this is common knowledge or just some freak chemical reaction?
Even when not called Charlotte, spiders do not cease performing miracles. Clearly grist for Polke's palette. or wait a minute... it kinda looks like... can it be? Jesus... with a crown of thorns? no....
