trees sunbathing




hot springs




almost comatose




three hour tour (click on this one to make it bigger...well, because sometimes bigger is cooler)




who's that handsome man?: & why does his head look like a globe?




light settling nicely on the old burn




for j. & r.: all the way from crown heights, brooklyn



oh, la la: a. was participating in the mountain woman bikini hatchet throwing competition: she was the only representative from montana




c. looking like a lifeguard: one whose last name begins with an H.




my driving was making people sick so we had to take a breather on the side of the rode




:




breakfast with friends




yellow watermellon: seeds & all




a. came all the way from montana to show idaho how to make the best fruit bowls in town

suspending the rabbit's death cry

went out with my friend s. on monday: she has cowgirl boots!: only g. in montana has better boots




r., t., & j. in town from nyc came to visit me while i worked: it was slow so we had time for some self-portraits




:




i wish they never left




someone left this for me: at this point, though, i could care less about the elephant: i actually needed the dollar




k. & m.




a.m.g. eating a sammy




the "co-op" here doesn't even have reusable utensils: wtf




breakfast!




if i worked at this restaurant i would want to be the fruit person: they do such a nice job




r. sizing up the plate

knowing the gnat's growing pains


captain sidwell downtown




they are constructing a prefab structure by my house: the two cranes from my last post gave birth to a third: her name is bessie (pictured a few pics down)




:




:




:




:




bessie has the yellow arm




this is another building downtown: they were attaching these concrete panels about 26 stories up




:




:




the structure down the street: bessie in the middle




i try not to frequent my place of work but occasionally i give in: & this is how i am treated: special glass and organic grapes




received this book in the mail today: it was in perfect shape (see below)




:




the book came in this box that had a "fragile" sticker attached: finally someone is thinking! no bent corners or scratches: showing respect for an object that deserves nothing less




a.m.g.




picnic: life has been a bit out of focus lately




apparently i cut myself "shaving"




every year i find new reason to hate and renewed abhorrence/disgust for halloween: this year, a month ahead of schedule, i found this




m.mb meditating with her nose against the frame




dinner with a friend




:




this poor drunken fellow made the mistake of trying to talk to a bunch of us who weren't having any of it: his hat was initially blank: somehow n. got a hold of it and wrote the lovely message that you see: the gentleman was unable to keep his eyes steady enough to read it himself, but he seemed proud none-the-less: since i work in a bar a few nights a week i have stopped worrying about giving drunk people a hard time about something they surely won't remember the next day




everyone insisted on posing with the stranger




just like old-time friends
