Looks like a fish

If numbers can make a fish   so can molecules

Do you see what I see

A child emerges

Image
As all children do without notice   but aware   the hands an elbows always there

Are we becoming transparent

Image
Transparent in the light of overwhelming demands from those who matter and others who can't   but should be ignored

Something to chirp about

In the grass looking at children play  Further to the west are ponds and a view of Tampa Bay in the distance  To the south is Downtown St. Petersburg and a creek that winds to the bay  Manatees can sometimes be seen here

Do you play

The Piano   This a musical sketch caught on the fly  I used to do this all the time 

The table

Image
A place to hold what you are using until you can use them again   Failure to reuse these items results in clutter  Everything in the foreground has been recently used  The background is what has been forgotten and has no place to be   It remains as a history of interest past  Maybe one day they too will be of use again  Maybe not    The sketch is a photo filter  Like some items on the table my sketching skills go unused

Yemen overpowered

Image
It appears obvious to me that Yemen wants control of sea traffic entering and leaving the Red Sea.  This forgotten war is ongoing and real.  People suffer at the hands of a power that knows no limits.  Is it important that we (the US) profit from the hands of destruction?

Regret

Image
I climb the lader of regret not knowing what to expect. What's done is done I live with that there's lost respect that won’t come back. For those, I say God bless you all and wait for heaven's judgment call.

By any other name is still a moth  like so many other creatures real and imagined is bound to die

Debt and the Rosetta Stone

Image
Debt forgiveness in prebiblical times was handled more humanely  by assigning debtors to public works or the military  Today economies both personal and public are in need of debt redemption without strife or chaos  What is unpaid weighs on the backs of everyone  A healthy economy suggest that all work to their capacity when given the opportunity by just governors   Source   And Forgive Them Their Debts  by Michael Hudson    distribution  delanceyplace.com

"He was here a moment ago, then he said the mother ship was coming and he was gone"  Sharing a little bit of silliness isn't harmful.  What alarms is the possibility that he has been lifted away by his own imagination.  Photo source not recorded

Where's the smile

"“In the Balkans the transition is over,” Remzi Lani, an Albanian political analyst, told me some time ago. But unlike in many post-Communist countries, Mr. Lani didn’t mean a transformation from dictatorship to democracy. “We transitioned from repressive to depressive regimes.”" "He is right. The old Communists and radical ethnic nationalists are largely gone; in their places is stagnation — economic, social and political." There are approximately fifty thousand Serbians in the Tampa, St. Petersburg area of the United States.  People move outside their national borders for improved living conditions.   A better life meant leaving their country, and sometimes family behind.

Cars with class for kids in class

Image
Remember when cars had personality  steel bumpers  and chrome  In high school during the sixties we drove these and the more popular 55-56 Chevys and didn't know they were cool   Today we can keep a car for ten or fifteen years  Back then they were old stuff after three or four years.

The way we were

Image
The way we are Alone in their rooms with momentary allusions Reduced in an effort to be lifted from the solitary Text, laugh, picture me and strangeness is not foreign Not always engaged but aware there is someone there Distracted for hours on end without elder interference or assurance Finding solace in communication with a trusted friend Day after day until they meet someone face to face In a group they watch yet another screen while no one talks
