"Out, and About"

Washington whose contradictory spirit still leads us in Union Square park.

I went out today to downtown. This to pick up my new phone, and assorted supplies. There were folks about...more behind masks now. Traffic very light. Only a few allowed into shops at a time. That, and many closed altogether.
I felt a calmness here in the Emerald City. Beneath grey skies a quietness. Life went on, but with a difference. An awareness. Still there was a common good humor. Friendly helpfulness about. I came home with a good feeling. Folks were positive, and easy to laugh. You all be well. 

Quiet along East 17th Street.

Spring insists.

East 14th street at mid-day in the formerly busy Emerald City.

Blooms on 17th Street. The Earth Abides.

#4 Train mid-day.

My home station with it's science fiction themed steel bars. ...there's a paper in this somewhere.

You Comrades use ya damned Heads.

Be Safe Be Fucking Smart, and Be Kind.

Also don't forget to load up on beans booze shot gun shells flares trip wires com-units.

That, and fucking Gold,...and plenty of it.

See you suckers on the other side of this!

Btw,

You can click on my photos to make them bigger.

Well not really 'that' much bigger.

'But ya know.

Also I was thinking of going out more often to take snaps

of the end of the fucking world.

But then I thought.

...fuck that.

I don't wanna fucking die, what the hell's da matter with you?

You want me to risk shitting blood out of my eyes for your

entertainment,...fuck that.

Otherwise I loves ya all.

Just don't do any stupid shit like catching this Plague.

Stay tuned.

Meanwhile here's a plate from an old Pacifist Comic Book.

I worked at a Quaker Press as a youth.

 I published it 47 years ago.

Fucking Vietnam had just ended

Like suckers and we thought there'd peace forever.

Anyway.

I think this page is tame, and cute enough not to get me deleted.

I tell ya there's other pages that sure would.

Fog of War all that.

Now that we're all stuck in our digs.

Here's something to do.

I invite you to copy, and color it.

I sure did, but at the time couldn't afford to publish a color edition.

Now that I can,...in a way.

Nobody wants it.

Figures.
