A classic recording from ROIR. What a great era this was. I still have this tape. I still have a walkman somewhere too. No subscription. No monthly fees. Yeah. youtu.be/TqZguEWFuFc?...

So few places to go to cool down on insanely hot days in coastal Long Beach. Barnes and Noble today saving me from heat stroke

Air conditioning should be mandatory by law in all apts and rentals. Imagine being a bastard who will argue against it. There are so many horrible people

It was 90 plus degrees in the underground parking. By the time I got up to Barnes and Nobles I was sweating. I sat on the floor cooling off. The heat is intense here in SoCal. Old school covered malls were good places to go to cool down and be able to walk around. Now it’s disaster for poor people

The Kimono Gallery @roger1952.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
In Yu Miyazaki’s haunting artwork from the exhibition The World Seen from Here, a delicate threshold between waking reality and the spirit world unfolds in soft, dreamlike hues. Japan
At the base of the composition, a young woman reclines peacefully upon the ground as if suspended in deep slumber, draped in a grey kimono patterned with subtle fan and chrysanthemum motifs. Surrounding her, vivid red spider lilies (higanbana) bloom from the gloom, their fiery petals providing a striking visual contrast against the monochromatic sepia backdrop. Hovering above her rests a colossal, pale full moon, casting its muted glow over a translucent, ethereal spirit dressed in white who gently holds a thread suspended between realms. The image evokes a quiet, sensory atmosphere: the cool dampness of an autumn evening, the subtle scent of wet soil and blooming flora, the pale hum of moonlight, and the breathless hush that accompanies the realm of dreams and memory.

Anchoring the piece is the profound cultural symbolism of the higanbana, a flower deeply entwined in Japanese tradition with the arrival of the equinox, poignant farewells, and the transition into the afterlife. The glowing phantom holding the slender thread evokes classic folklore regarding the unseen ties connecting souls across time and existence, bridging the physical world with the realm beyond. Through precise tonal control and luminous glazing, the painting reflects exceptional technical skill and material mastery (monozukuri), carrying the heritage of Japanese figurative painting into a modern, introspective context.

A photo of an adobe building in Taos Pueblo. It's two stories with flat roofs on both floors. There are wooden ladders going up to each roof. The bottom floor has a turquoise door on the left, and window with a bright blue wood frame on the right. The top floor has a bright blue door on the right and two smaller windows. There's a large clay oven on the right in front of the building. Text on the photo says, "Every Sunday is #Stunday. Post whatever you find stunning. All types of art & skill levels welcome. Your original art only."

On this day 12 and a half years ago I saw the coolest ever iceberg. Never seen one like it since. Fellsfjara, Jökulsárlón, #Iceland
A six-foot (ish) high turquoise iceberg with a small friend on a black sand beach. Grey rainy day with some of the turquoise reflected in the blank sand, and long exposure smooth waves breaking.
