Surprised that I had not heard about the hundreds of windmills dotting the landscape along US127 in mid-Michigan. Unexpected and beautiful.

I did not sell a lot at the swap, but I traded modern Ball jars for maple syrup and I sold a box of pet fencing to a very excited young girl who carries her own knife. I gave away several pounds of old microgreen seeds and was rewarded with this fantastic votive candle. Faith in humanity restored.

I'm going to do something like this, but I'm going to use some of the currency that I made for a neighborhood time bank. I'll handwrite my email on the back partially in nonsensical Greek letters. Labelling my homemade hΔts the same way.

An earlier sign that Dali, an avoidant gooner, would eventually have closed-eye hallucinations - his relationship with Gala, a muse to many artists. He saw her radiantly beautiful aura, the electricity being dispersed by her hair, falling in love at first sight. I'm sure she was intoxicating.

Salvador Dali probably did not see The Tornado until 1970. Though there are exceptions, it's something that happens to older people as their hormones subside, channeling more energy into deep thought.

My guess is that Alexander Calder saw The Tornado at some point in 1943, right before he created his "Constellation" series and became very famous for his red-orange sculptures. Charisma is electromagnetic.

Several boxes of slides came with my house, and I'm hoping to identify them.
Most of the people in these pictures are wearing costumes with enormous angle wings. This may have been a Mormon function in Utah or California. The dates are in the early 1970s. Does anyone recognize the mountain?

I suspect this is a Hawaiian bar with a house band in the early 1970s. Any guesses?

My overwintered plants might be ugly, but who else has peppers in Northern Michigan right now? There's going to be an unfortunate number of ghost peppers this season.
