Oh, no, I forgot…

…like the cartoon on Dave’s refrigerator back in the eighties of the suited-up guy -“What was it?  Damn – I forgot to get a job!”- [well, umm, i guess I did forget that, too] we forgot, with all the many distractions, frequent trips to town [even if you don’t count the weekly visits to Gardner for Farmer’s Market and mail it’s some town or other every six or four days, unlike on the desert which is more on the order of seven to ten]; like this, sighted in La Veta one fine morning…

Anyway, what did we forget; we forgot to go to Hippy Days last weekend in Gardner, but, tempting as it looked that dippy haze was not for us…

We stayed home for an enjoyable evening of friends and food and talked of many things; art and artists, NYC, CNC routing, 3D printing, Marfa and maps, the nefarious machinations of venal local humans [not shown]…
