Saturday morning market II

I looked around for Coozledad, but I think he was back at the production facility.

    Is this anywhere near the terabyte USB 2.0 drives?

    I was collecting some of the Beaujolais of that stuff this morning for the garden. Mule shit is great. It composts rapidly, and it’s great on potatoes..er, for growing them.

    Our local farmer’s market is too small to be comfy – I always end up doing pity-purchases of potatoes and crummy-looking apples from old farmers who look like they’re just getting by. On the other hand, there are a couple of crafters I look for, the candlemaker and the rag-rug maker, so I hit the market a couple times a year and spend some bucks, and bring home the potatoes and the apples and put them in the compost pile. I’m a rug freak for some reason, I love those handmade rugs and the guy who sells them has some interesting patterns that he likes to talk about and I like to listen to. So far no one at any market I’ve been to has thought to sell manure. I’d buy a bag or two, especially if they gave it grade names like “brown gold” or “Coozledad prime”.

    Upon reflection, perhaps that should be “Coozledad MULE prime”. Sorry about that, Cooze, and everyone else stop laughing please.

    Sue: We’re thinking about building one of these http://www.jenkinspublishing.com/loveable_loo.html, so you’re not too far off the mark. I think it’d be a little presumptuous of me to try and sell it, though.

    Since I come from the land of Milorganite (http://milorganite.com/home/ ) I totally understand. There’s a fortune in it for you.

    Resting after a 6 mile walk doing my Saturday errands, laden with grocery bags and whatnot the cops wouldn’t let me walk the last block to my place because they shot a woman who was involved in criminal activity and had the area cordoned off with yellow tape. No, I don’t live in the ghetto, this happened on the Gold Coast in Chicago, in front of the Drake Hotel. The criminal activity happened at Louis Vuitton.

    Look. I know I might be a jerk. Look, this guy is taking on a gargantuan task. His involvement is incredibly admirable. It’s a thankless task, and it exhibits his love of country and Detroit.

    Let’s find some slackers freom Texas that care about anything but oil field services. These creeps have raped the economy. They’ve electrocuted soldiers.

    What is oil field services? Well, we charge them up the ying yang and nobody ever holds anybody accountable. This is how Cheney is rich, and there has never been an American that was a more despicable POS. He doesn’t care about anybody. If you think that isn’t true, examine his stovepipe. Seriously, the stovepipe. This creep thought the entire American population was more or less stupid. He needs to go to jail bigtime.

    Cheney is so revolting, it’s hard to imagine this sort of crap.

    I’m not makeing this up. My dad is a positively brilliant doctor. That’s a fact jack. He also dabbles in philosophy and theology. He sort of gets Teillhard, but I think I’m more astute on this subject. Say what you like, if you doubt his honesty, I doubt yours. And that’s a fact jack.

    Six miles is awesome, Deborah. Especially laden with groceries. Wow. Good job.

    Danny, the first half of the walk was without groceries so it’s not that big a deal.
    Jeff (tmmo), from an earlier post, the crayons guy made the rounds on e-mail a few weeks ago at the design firm I work for. Cool, that he lives a block from you.

    Isn’t Kill Bill about unattractive feet, but that woman is gorgeous. The whole thing is fairly brilliant, but it’s not Blade Runner. Hell, it isn’t Time Bandits or Mildred Pierce. And Chinatown? Not in that universe. It is, however, as clever as Citizen Kane, and Mildred Pierce is more clever. If it’s mileage, I’d go for those Scottish boys. Actually, I mean Stuart Adamson, although the Haverers are endearing.

    Hey, i can’t be LAMary, but i’ll share what we’ve got here in Brigadoon.

    His art is really cool, except for the jacket thing (can’t recall if it’s on the website or not). Kind of a po-mo coded version of the one Jonas Nightengale wears in “Leap of Faith.”

    Just got back from Columbus. Grandview was jumpin’ and we ate at Hoggy’s BBQ. New crew, obviously, new sauce, different menu…not the same.

    Columbus is the 15th largest city in the US, with the #1 least-impressive tall-buildings-skyline.
