The deejays are great...JellyRollJustice is coming up next, then it's Problem Child ("Wake up with the Problem Child in the morning and your problems will go away")...Tom Waits (singing not a DJ), other singers:"take me to the electric chair", "dig my grave with a silver spoon" and "please help my brothers in Vietnam"...

New York City

shooting the city on the run sticking it out the Mercedes, drop it in the digital paintbox, happy as fleas on a dog tipping over garbage cans, coffee on an aluminum table, can they get that cab going?

windstorm

raining and storming llllllllllllll.............llllllllll high wind gusts ripping the limbs off trees, sadly. A baby coon cute as a brown-eyed button scramples tippy-toed over the porch stairs while its slack-limbed owner holds its leash. A large dog watches with great interest. On the return trip a rabbit glows red-eyed at the edge of the road with a mouthful of lawn still hours before dawn.
