Greetings from somewhere over colorado or utah.. Diane and I are on our way out to Ca for a mix of work and vacation. Looking forward to seeing friends from work, form my past, from burning man.. even a few relatives. Friday is my birthday  ! (59 !) .. looking forward to that too !

I was not completely sue about leaving today because of RJ.. but We got some updates on him today from his brother Rusty and Mason. He’s beat up pretty bad.. but lucid and making jokes. He’s got some serious helping to do in the coming months.. maybe the coming years.. 

please send RJ some good healing vibes

ok. wifi is bad on the plane, so I’ll stop here

Got the word this afternoon that our really good friend RJ (aka Andrew aka Rusty Junior hence RJ ) was in a very bad car wreck today. 

He’s got a bunch of broken bones,  including a fractured pelvis and femur, a punctured lung, and some other I nternal injuries. His head is ok.. and he came through surgery ok. He was able to talk to Mason ear;ier today.. 

I spoek to RJ’s brother Rusty (aka Alex)… .. who lives in Colorado. He’s coming in to town tonight. Sounds like RJ’s goign to be ok. but he’s gonna have lots of healing to do .. but looks like he’s going to be OK.

and thats w what matters most !

here’s Rusty and RJ last summer.. 

send RJ some healing energy.. he’s really going to need it !

I’ve been skirting the flu all week.. and it finally landed. but gently.. despite massive doses of vitamin C and good nights sleeps, I woke today with a sore throat and aches…    and huge aversion to being cold.. 

and it’s cold out.. not terribly.. 6degrees F.. but cold enough to want to stay away from windows and doors. 

made staying inside working just fine.. 

feeling better now.. it feels more like a cold. hope to shake it off in my sleep

I’ve been walking by this clock above our pantry for several days.. the time always seemed wrong.   .. I promised to fix it…  but didn’t for a week.. finally I took it down tonight and found.. it was stuck..

1:52 PM , Jan 30   19 degrees C

1:52 PM , Jan 30   19 degrees C

1:52 PM , Jan 30   19 degrees C

1:52 PM , Jan 30   19 degrees C

1:52 PM , Jan 30   19 degrees C

I watched if for 10 minutes more 

1:52 PM , Jan 30   19 degrees C

1:52 PM , Jan 30   19 degrees C

1:52 PM , Jan 30   19 degrees C

it was fun 1, time literally stood still .. I spent 30 minutes and 1:52. . it was a nice place. 

I took it down, cleaned the corroded contacts in the battery container. .. and it started up again’

that did allow me to see tht the clock must have been built in 1996..

thts a long time for a digital clock.. all the things this clok has seen..

all the people.. 

thank you clock for showing us the passing of time..

and th not passing
