I started blogging on MySpace in 2006 in Spokane, Washington. A few years later, new owners unceremoniously erased all that with no warning. I saved a few entries here in “older stuff.”
I like photography, tinkering, designing and building things, taking things apart (including things I’ve built). I’m an ambivalent gardener, retired independent book publisher.
We moved to Uruguay in 2009 from the mountains of beautiful but flawed Mexico. Though I miss meaningful topography, Uruguay’s highest point being 514 m / 1,685 ft, I sometimes think the sky here (which I arguably post far too many pictures of) makes up for it. The most amazing, but subtle, aspect of it is summed up in this post from February 2014:
At the end of the day…
…you set aside the corruption and official incompetence you’ve witnessed, set aside the reflections of a native on a culture that rewards mediocrity and discourages ambition, have a glass of wine, and enjoy the sky as the sun sets,
grateful it doesn’t look like what you saw so often in North America and Europe.
