addie ๐๐๐ plum
12:43:58 PM
"A game in which each participant takes turns writing or drawing on a sheet of paper, folding it to conceal his or her contribution, and then passing it to the next player for a further contribution. The game gained popularity in artistic circles during the 1920s when it was adopted as a technique by artists of the Surrealist movement to generate collaborative compositions."

Oblique Strategies - The project consisted of a set of 115 white cards with simple black text in a deck subtitled Over One Hundred Worthwhile Dilemmas. Though a conceptual art project, the cards were essentially a practical tool for generating ideas, breaking through creative block, and breaking free of stale thought patterns.

Jimi giving his buddy Dick Dale a get well shout-out there. Dick was in the hospital. Jimi was hopeful there... he thought it sounded like a lie to him that the world would never hear the King of the Surf Guitar again. Often misheard by people thinking Jimi was dismissing surf music.

@Roffle, both Turkey Vultures and Black Vultures are found in the east. The range of Turkey Vulture extends further north than the range of Black Vulture; I have seen the former as far north as Maine (from my car on the interstate) while I haven't seen Black Vulture north of s.e. Pennsylvania

Thank's Rob. I've heard of Turkey Vultures, but need to start looking. I see ospreys and eagles on the river, but I don't know about those, or if what I think I'm looking at is what I'm looking at, which is seldom the case in general. :)
