He posted on facebook he is heading back home for 3 days...trying to find out what he is doing next. It would be so sick if he got to go work on one of the grand tours.

You don't normally think of bike mechanics as big galoshes type people.

i learned maybe a year ago, about this kind of thing, that it's hard to judge someone by their boots. we had a houseguest who had these real sensible looking galoshes, lined for winter, and we thought she might be helpful and happy around the house, living by the river, making installation art or whatever. truth was, after one initial bout of woodcarrying, she spiralled into a world of keeping small fires burning through slow days of nothing. in her spare time she started to speculate about cannibalism. she was a blacksmith by training, and over time added to her knife collection. she carved one small ship, and in the first days of spring we sailed that around a pond broken into the lake ice. other than that and the broken crockery, after a late winter, spring and a summer, she left.

in her solitude she set up a stationary bike by the river, and got her exercise that way.

if you had to wash and hose down a whole bunch of bikes and then the bus every day you'd probably wear some boots too.

our place is called the base, code-name 'riversong'.

i looked up this maggie's farm place. thanks for the tip. interesting video on clam digging and the virtues of self-reliance on their website. i like this maine-farming self-reliance collective idea.

that said we try to be non-ideological at our place. basically there are a bunch of nice camping spots and a guest shack. the last people (film crew) staying strung ethernet through the trees, so the shack is set up. this is what we're talking about. like, contribute to the environment. wake up and give something beautiful back to the sunset. what's your sculpture look like?

I put flowers in a pot on my front porch and water them so they spruce up the zone.

And I keep pizza boxes and dead rat cages on the back porch to keep balance in the universe.

yeah.

i have a giant fertility sculpture that is kind of a build it yourself project.

it's for you - if you act now.

it requires that a lovely virginal female of your tribe be the craftperson for this task.

send her - alone - to the motel 6 down by the river.

when the fertility rites are completed properly - could take a couple of days - the virginal will be returned, safe, having learned of great things, and your tribe will experience good luck and etc. for a thusand years.

go in peace.
