Here are the pictures, stories will be presented in class. Lab for today will be along the lines of cleaning and lubricating skateboard wheels, filling up the tires on our wheelbarrows, learning to use the compressor, and wheeling carts full of plants and things around the department.
The lab for today will be cutting rebar, moving some fiberglass containers and dirt with levers and rollers, digging and moving the soil for the base of a patio, and so on. Using levers to make our work easier.
Well had all these painting of mines on the walls of our living room for the past three decades or so
Seems they multiplied faster these last few years
At the Mrs’ suggestion

One with a gallery and community space, out in the Sunset District of San Francisco off the N Judah muni metro line
Called Birdhouse Gallery, at 2548 Judah Street between 30th and 31st Avenue
And they set me up with a show in a place with white walls, proper hangers and the whole deal
I’m still in a state of shock and surprise
Had to get this app called instagram and join the modern generation of addicts to publicize
The show is there till the end of the month or so
If you are in the neighborhood, c’mon by and say hi
Or mark your calendar for the storytelling days on August 23rd and August 28th, 6-9 pm
The first one already passed, it was about snakes
Christian snakes of satan and fallen angels, Chinese snakes of commerce and year of the – , Taiwanese aboriginal snakes of the ancestors, and the Amazonian constrictor snakes that mimic vines and rivers and carry the natives atop the milky way in canoes
Next time will be about birds. Birds of the soaring skies like eagles, and birds of the water like the anhinga and loon. Flights of feathers and spirit across and between borders boundaries and worlds
okey dokey, tchau! See you there!!
This is a slideshow for the OH56 Machines class offered in the Environmental Horticulture and Floristry Department at City College of San Francisco. After the lecture, we will go out back, stack some firewood, cut some bricks, and knap some obsidian. Something like that. Through trial and error, you will find out that eucalyptus is really hard to split, green or seasoned!
