Things that are lonely or lonesome in my iTunes title list: boy, stranger, weekends, dobro, feeling, for you, for you darling, highway, river, road, valley, whistle, wind.

Google “Askew”

Google “askew” for a sort of visual poetry. Try it. It works in Firefox, not sure about Explorer. This Easter egg has apparently been around for a while, but I hadn’t seen it. It was fun to run into in the regular course of searching.

Squirrel Pit

This one requires a bit of an explanation. Where I work, the map library is in a building that has a tree pit in the middle of it. It’s not really a courtyard because you can’t go out there, just gaze at the stately maple through the window. Squirrels like to jump into the pit from above, though, to get maple helicopters and such. The walls are so sheer and relatively smooth that the squirrels can’t come out, and they come and gaze hungrily at the map collection cubicle dwellers. Eventually the landscapers lower a squirrel ladder into the tree. Sometimes more squirrels climb in by the ladder, but eventually they leave, the ladder is removed, and it’s a temporary squirrel-free zone again.

What the rest of us call bowls.

I made a cover for my new Kindle out of materials at hand. Cardboard, packing tape, and lined with felt.

This made me think of a wallpaper design after I drew it. And old-timey one.

Perhaps the one I’ll pop tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner.
