ACCESS 2 / A DEW A DEW
(2 YOU + YOU + @lilchiva.bsky.social)
The day makes a nice change from the waking, which saw the frost briefly make a comeback but you can see the water cycle has already started to lift in the seed beds. Only a matter of time. This is not about "the market," it's about them.

WAITING FOR STILLMAN
That time I starred in the unproduced and unauthorized "Sandman" pilot . . . as you can see they took it in a very different creative direction but hey, I want to believe it was the '90s. Would Whit Stillman touch the property today? Imagine it!

[SCENE MISSING]

Whether the canopy cares is an open question. [...] Besides, it'll be snow in a matter of weeks, like at the end of "The Dead." Sensible animals go underground where the old comics are. Or the ghosts of the Bucharest intelligentsia, your pick.

This brightness against bare branches makes them easy to identify and I spent 90 minutes snapping vines to liberate what should become a promising mess of ash and cherry now that it can breathe. Again, nobody will touch this fruit, so let it rot with the vines and do some good when it is recycled.

Either way, prune while you can to discourage this.

3. When I first saw the berries I thought they were hawthorn and I'd once again reimported a plant already right there, but a closer look revealed bittersweet. Unlike hawthorn, the berries are toxic. Nobody wants them, so they hang on the vines.

The root simply cannot support 2 trees competing. Gravity guarantees that sooner or later they'll split at the crotch, killing at least one trunk and threatening the other if the stress was too extreme. So far the remaining tree is doing great. Possibly the feeling here is of loss but also relief.

... temporarily got in their way but left a gap in their sky. And so the shape of the giant persists while the precious nutrients cycle and build new wood memory.

2. That hemlock crashed because it was attached to a somewhat bigger and more ancient trunk as a codominant leader. Nature hates this.

The real miracle of their survival is that their trunks slipped through the branches of the giant on the way down. Everything we don't see was annihilated, dying with the giant. However as the log decays and the survivors rise their habit will betray the interruption of the dead branches that ...

... massive fallen hemlock might initially look like a sentimental homily about new life stubbornly rising through the wreckage of the past, but in reality the hemlock just crashed about six months ago and these are the lucky survivors that sprouted years before and had no time or ability to dodge.

I could've turned my coat around to expose the orange lining and avoid buckshot but students of folklore know this would also defeat the purpose of having the back in the first place. So a compromise emerged. I learned a few things.

1. A grove of pine saplings laced between the branches of a ...

Once you stray 10 feet into the back, gardening fast becomes forestry. While I initially had the notion of hiking all the way to the high back for panoramic selfies with landscape, developments closer to home turned out more important, and besides, it's hunting season there.

I was nobody before I put on the wig. In hindsight the clown has always been the natural enemy of the totalitarian state, from commedia through Chaplin and Tati to Ellison and the Firesign Theater and now here where we are today, making the WBD "Joker" franchise an even bigger artistic failure.

"TROUSER ROLE"
One must imagine Peggy and Sarah Jane happy in their new lives, a slightly different barbie movie but you can't hide those apple cheeks and painted mouths, unblinking wooden eyes. In the fullness of time these things happen . . . said the skin horse.

I dreamed the pear tree in the corner of the yard was in bloom, ablaze. The mythform is usually encountered in one of two modes. One mode assumes that the cyberspace matrix is inhabited, or perhaps visited, by entities whose characteristics correspond with the primary mythform of a 'hidden people.'

"The king of England was sick." Pretend that we are talking two languages at once. One of them, you already understand. That's the language of street tech, as you call it. We may be using different words, but we're talking tech. Maybe we call something Ougou Feray that you might call an icebreaker.

THE PASSENGER
What I like about this platform is the absence of ticker-symbol-coded hypertext. You either get it or you don't. I'd never sat in on a $PLTR call but last night's was a wild ride. They refer internally and organically to their conviction as "charismatic," presumably a Weber reference.

If a band can't project its trajectory out another decade it probably doesn't appear on the soundtrack except as ambient background. A logarithmic slide rule for solving decades: use it. $MUSQ
