Hello there. After I wrote out all that stuff for my last post I started thinking of any number of reasons why the idea would never work, and I found it rather disheartening to consider the all of the human failings that would effectively prevent this idea from working. I find the human race eminently un-fixable in light of having had an idea that attempted a fix.

So yesterday I was farting around on my (pedal-powered) bike being comparably unproductive as when I was in the mall food court, having my prison reform idea, poking around the old industrial city of holyoke enjoying the colors and textures of the old brick buildings. I found this old blue truck. It reminded me of the movie Mystery Men, which I love, and the part where you first see Mr. Furious' workplace, where a Herkimer battle jitney is parked, and the camera passes over the HERKIMER logo on the vehicle's grille. I love little aesthetic touches of design such as that, and i've developed an eye for classic vehicle logos as a result.


And I found this cool old fire alarm box.


And I loved the red of this smokestack against the blue sky. Digital image enhancement is one more thing I'm going to have to sell my soul or something like that in exchange for the motivation to learn how to do it. So as to be able to show the red like I originally saw it.
