This is obviously a temporary construction measure, but still it's some comically bad infrastructure. "Fuck you in particular, wheelchair user!"

Good week of listening, though I realize I haven't bought a new album in two weeks, which is unusual for me.

The Stanley No. 45 Plane was manufactured from 1884 to 1962. Mine was made around 1905 -- 120 years ago. I inherited it from my grandfather, a woodworker and antique collector who I suspect had it more for the latter purpose.

My submission for this week's 52frames.com "Something Old" assignment.

"Receding Square Line"

A few miles from my house, at the edge of an empty field, is a long-abandoned swimming pool. It’s surrounded by weeds and there’s detritus scattered across the bottom. The walls are covered by a palimpsest of decades of graffiti.

It's pissing down rain and I'm mildly sick, so I spent some time in the garage servicing my suspension linkage.

I feel like he'd be using a comically large mallet?

This week's 52frames.com assignment was "High Key", and I may have taken the prompt a bit too literally with this "landscape" shot.

I took what felt like an infinite number of photos at the Pescadero Coastal Classic bike race this weekend.
