while he sold us our mackerel this morning, the fishmonger reassured us that politics in france has got nothing to feel superior about, even in comparison to the recent american election. the same damn politicians have been working toward the same damn pensions for 50 years, and giving the “bras d’honneur” to artisans and small business owners and little old lady pensioners, who will not be collecting as much in their retirement, let me tell you, as the politicians will. when i go into debt, i pay my debts. when they go into debt, i also pay their debts. and now as a result of spending all that money that created all that debt (millions and millions of euros, and if you calculated it in francs!!! oh là là), apparently we are able to blow up the entire world 10 times. you tell me why blowing up the entire world one time is not enough.

Ha! So true!
Oh, your fishmonger is so right! “We pay our own debts and then pay the governments debts, all so we can blow up the world.” Too true. Made me laugh in spite of how sad it all is.
I absolutely love and appreciate your work(s). I am a retired hairdresser-teacher of 58 years of age. I finally have the time to discover the earths images that I have missed out on. I am presently opening up my own creative side by using reblogged images, my office computer and printer, and, 100% on-it’s-way-to-the-garbage objects and materials. I think I may have a few artsy materials you would be interested in seeing.
I live in Minneapolis by the UofM. I work-play at my brothers electronics recycling company (ADS recovery-recycle) which provides me with a great space and never ending “junk” to be creative with.
Blah-blah-blah.
My primary reason for this e-mail is to compliment you and thank you for all of the images in your S T I L L blog. It is very beautiful to me as well as inspiring. Thank you very much for sharing the beauty.
teach peace,
