Unloosen

Even though I've been back for two months, I'm just now posting my Europe photos. Here's some urban decay from Glasgow, Scotland. Have you noticed that I like the urban decay?

This was in a town near a Loch (not of the Ness variety).

Jean-Luc woke up smiling, as he often did. Life was good and there was no reason why it wouldn’t stay that way indefinitely. Even the need to empty his bladder didn’t put a damper on his sunny attitude.

He stood as he did his business, humming a happy tune to match the ring of his urine striking the porcelain. The job done, he washed his hands at the sink, combed his beard and admired his reflection in the mirror. He looked as tan and healthy as ever.

Sweat beaded on Phoenix Waterfall's forehead. His hazel eyes darted back and forth. Phoenix tried to keep his heavy breathing inaudible and so it came in short in and out breaths. Phoenix felt the coolness of the thick leather seat through his cut off hemp pants. The air was crisp and cool and blew breezily through Phoenix's tank top. He was glad he put the bright orange hat on. Not only did it keep his head warm in the cool room (in addition to the thick gnarly beard), but it gave him comfort and self-confidence. Confidence enough to do his mission.

Yet another photo from Scotland. This is in Edinburgh. It is a place where some Scots go to worship and pray and sometimes daydream and other times see what's the highest number they can count up to before they lose track of where they were in the grand scheme of numbers.

I've finally finished my friend's web site, so I'll be back to doing things Unloosen-like very soon. I'm also moving into a new apartment this weekend and I'll have an extra room in the apartment devoted to work (AKA an office) and a lady-type person around the house to make living a little easier in general.

Back in the day, when science was not just science but SCIENCE!, the scientists needed gadgets that really let the layman know that important and explosive knowledge was being gained. Room-sized computers with an infinite amount of knobs and of course the slide rule. It separated the men of SCIENCE! from the men of science.

Then the calculator came along and allowed everyone to enjoy science at a leisurely pace with no emphasis or fancy art deco laboratories.
