I organize books for fun at the public library. Knit, crochet, cook, read a lot, walk a lot , look at things. Small menagerie of birds and squirrels. Petsitter.

Lived in Venice Beach in the 60's, Utah in the 70's, and Oregon ever since. Big fan of Alaska, Seattle, San Francisco, New York, and Hawaiian Beaches.

All photos are by me on a phone camera, unless credited.

Avatar photo is me wearing an orchid. Banner photo is a skein of waterfowl in the skies above Eugene.

It's getting longer... I'll need to switch to a different yarn for the second half of the scarf 😬 I hope I like it

I had a dream months ago that I had suddenly realized that I had forgotten to die, it was a thing to do, like renewing a license or getting a booster, that I hadn't really had time for. So I went in to do it. 1/2or3

It was a hospital, people were busy, I wasn't too concerned, just a thing to get over with. Filled out a few forms. They gave me a pill for anxiety, and some bunched fresh beets and carrots, go make a smoothie and come back in an hour. 2/3

So I wandered the corridors with my beets and carrots, looking for a blender, seeing people doing things that made me think, well, thank god I'll never have to do that again. I think I woke up before I died, but it put me in a strangely good mood for a while. 🤷 3/3

Ok, well, you just rest over there in your charging station and think about what you've done.

I’m 42-years-old, and I’m always looking out for new music. And not just new music – forgotten music. One of my hobbies is trawling YouTube for songs with 0 views.

But I’m an outlier. For most people, discovery of new music peaks at adolescence. And when you hit your 30s, musical taste calcifies.

There’s lots of data to back this up.

I notice this doesn’t just happen with music but with movies as well. Lots of older men don’t want to watch new movie franchises. They want to return to the old “nostalgia” well again and again.

Personally, I find such malaise depressing. I never want to stop growing as a human being, experiencing new things.

CHART: When was the best decade for music? Your answer probably depends on how old you are
CHART: On average, peoples' music taste evolved quickly through age 25, before reaching "maturity" in the mid-30s
CHART: average number of artists in listening rotation by age group

@atomicpoet I like listening to college radio, new and classical, because I hear random music I wouldn't otherwise. And usually you can get information on the music if you hear something good. I get really bored hearing the same things over and over and over for 50+ years 😆

Finished the next pair of socks from my monthly from https://www.ashandevedesigns.com/product-page/copy-of-build-a-beautiful-box-of-sock-club-round-2-may-jun-jul-2024 .
Very pleased with the way they turned out and now waiting (im)patiently for this month's challenge.

What is your dream road trip? Where would you start? Where would you end up? What stops would you make along the way? It can be short or long, whatever interests you!

@RickiTarr Down through Canyonlands, via the high plateaus of Utah, through the southern Rockies and New Mexico, back over to Flagstaff and Jerome and Sedona and back up Highway 1 along the coast. The other one I'd do by train and public transit, Montreal to New Orleans, with barbecue detours
