Tin Can Tarot Vardo

It was a homey-looking stainless-steel-sheathed transport, so I decided to contact the owner of the vardo.

“Been passing by the parked “Tinct” often on my morning commute from the southlands. That thing is definitely compact and I’d like to know its history – where you bought it, who modified it, etc., just out of curiosity.”

Madam Colleen responded:

“Thanks for your interest in Tin Can Tarot trailer.
It was an old 4×6 hauling trailer we cut off to use the trailer bed and build a new structure with maximum interior space possible, and that was round so it became a tin can. It is all custom fabricated by me and a variety of BurningMan friends and artisans who donated time and skills and other parts I paid for. It was and is a true labor of love.”

I didn’t ask her about my future. I already know more than I want to.

Henri Lanos 1888 – Les Travaux de la Tour Eiffel – La Grande Echelle

Henri Lanos (1859-1929) was a French illustrator and painter whose work appeared in French magazines like La Caricature, L’Illustration and Je Sais Tout. He was member of the Société des Artistes Français (French Artists Society).

3-point perspective (1 point + zenith + right) is awesome. He even detailed rivets, and showed Paris’ 1855 Palais de l’Industrie in the distance.

Saturday Matinee – Strandbeest, Elvin Bishop & The Wailers

Awesome mechanics.

Glad to see Elvin Bishop is still rockin’.
He won me over years ago when he shouted out a recipe for carp. [Dedicated to Retired Geezer.]

The Wailers‘ “Stir It Up” (1967) is possibly the best Reggae groove ever. This might be the 2nd best. Here’s the 10th best.

Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow for more aftershocks.

Max Mueller II, mayor of Idyllwild, California, is a real SOB and everyone knows it.

Mom ordered a t-shirt from China for her 3-year-old and it came with a surprise bonus feature.

And it’s all supposed to be spontaneous. Yeah, right.

Un-Aborted Pro-Abortion woman tries to make the argument:
Let’s eliminate suffering by killing those who MIGHT suffer.” Pheew. Even Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger was against abortion as a contraceptive (except for blacks). The entire premise is false.
