Saw The Jesus Lizard live at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA. The last time I saw them in town was a little club in 1999 when Yow was really creating stress for the venue managers. The man is in his 60s and is still crowd surfing. Amazing stuff.

Green Caddis pupa. They wrap themselves in tiny stone cocoons, which trout eat, and which is why you find these stones in the fish's belly. Nature is neat. #fishing #insects #trout

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007).

Kurosawa's Dreams (1990)

These are the first two that come to mind. Every frame is gorgeous. Just pause at any point and hang that image on the wall.

I hand carve little house signs for my pals based on their interests…so that’s the one major bonus for being friends with me.
