Fill'er Up
Image from Treehugger.com. Today I went on an hour long car ride with 4 other people, small car, super squinchy fit, but oddly satisfying. It was good to feel like the car was at maximum capacity and that our car pool prevented at least 2 additional cars from making the same trip. Plus the social aspect was entertaining and couldn't have happened if everyone had been in their isolation mobiles of recent history. The future will be filled with opportunities for changing the ways that we do things...

Edward Bawden
I'm doing some research for a project that I am doing with my old friend and brilliant still life stylist, Jeffrey Miller. We are using British illustrator Edward Bawden as inspiration on an ad campaign that we are doing together. Today I'm painting pumpkins, leaves, mirrors and snowflakes with Mr. Bawden in mind. aperfect way to spend a rainy Sunday morning.

Green Days
Pine Plains is a study in green. Mowing is comical as the grasses grow an inch within 15 minutes of the futile chop. Currently the rye is going to seed and the thistle is threatening to conquer the high pasture.

Sometimes a Little Outrage can be Fun
Leave it to Martin to find this floating around on the wires... What would happen if we all made stickers? What would yours say?

Make it Stop!
Just when you were feeling serious, adult-like, takin' care of business, your email delivers this and your whole day reverts! How, why, who? The questions won't stop. Like where did those tiny boots come from? Or why is this picture crazy enough to close down an office? Special Thanks to Jessie Moses for providing the Horn with this outstanding image.
Doctor Seuss Commutes, or Horton Hears a Horn
My bike was stolen last night. My last bike was stolen on September 11. Yes, that 9/11. So in my search to find yet another commuter bike I have been searching for a folding model. I came across this prototype at ecogeek.org. I have yet to find my dream ride but I'll post the winner. Carbon neutral despite crime, on wheel or hoof.

Teak Wasp Nest
Yellow Jackets are slowly eating our teak outdoor furniture. They are building several "teak" nests under the eaves. Interesting food chain....

Cartoon by Mack
After a long weekend in the country with our german shorthaired pointer, Mack, who retrieved baby rabbits several times a day, this New Yorker cartoon seems darkly perfect. No baby bunnies were harmed, just gently carried all over the damn place. Humans returned them to their no longer secret nest. BunnyLips has been tethered.
