Evening sky

the finale of a beautiful day -- this must be what the Navajo mean by walking in beauty


cranes heading south to the Bosque
en fin, very fine

crossing UNM

Walking across campus this afternoon, I came across these sights.



What kind of lily? Saffron?


This wonderful room in the Potter Building



one very fine cat, friendly but thin...I hope she'll be okay.
I was prepared to take her home with me, but she twisted out of my arms when I picked her up, and trotted off, very self-assured.

Not all that

It seems to me that I'm just dropping words into the void, call without response.

No picture for this one

I worked for Habitat for Humanity in South Carolina for nearly four years before being canned because the Executive Director wanted an Executive Secretary (who promptly learned to forge his signature and absconded with over $10,000 before she was caught -- but that's another story). This man was a Republican who thought Reagan was a genius and that Nixon was persecuted. He did rather well by doing good: got the Board to double his salary by handpicking the members, had all vehicle expenses paid and pressured me and the homeowners to buy into his wife's Excel phone plan. He felt that he earned his due and more by getting white people into Habitat houses, and spoke of the black homeowners as "those people".

Beautiful day, wonderful sky -- good way to start the day
