And they look good together…

People have worked a long time on being treated fairly.
Some people because of their race, or their nationality, gender, etc.
But one thing that cuts across it all is being physically ugly or beautiful.
I dont hear people acknowledging it very much.
Its a range that is subjective and can’t be measured absolutely but its been here all along.
It makes a big difference in how your whole life plays out.
It’s how people react to you.
Its mostly in the face, especially for women.
It’s connected to weight.
It’s similar to attractiveness, but that includes much more external factors.
People’s wealth, integrity, status, personality all come into play for the one being attracted.

How much physical beauty you have makes a big difference in how your struggle will unfold.
But I just don’t hear people talking about it like so many other factors.

I had a friend who was chubby, and she went around making pictures and such in lots of places.
She was pretty invisible.
Then she lost a lot of weight and she was beautiful.
Then she couldn’t take pictures so many places because people would notice her and tell her couldn’t take pictures there. People paid way more attention to her, were interested in her and what she had to say. It was kind of a sad lesson on people for her.

In case you havent seen children in a while, here is what they look like:

And here is the kind of thing they do:

Saw a couple of odd things on the drive home today that didnt seem right.

Here is an exterminating alternative that is called “ChemFree” but its carrying a big tank of inhalation hazard.
Maybe its a non-chemical toxin, an alternative to non-toxic chemicals?

Ok, I thought there were a couple of mistakes on this wall but this is how things really go down:

Oran does actually use a gluegun on his head, and yours too if you let him. Its part of his Wonder Weave.
And the Olympic Champs with fists raised on the podium were actually standing there in their socks, as part of their statement. It was hard to verify because there are a bunch of copies of this picture all cut off just at the knee, and another picture angle where the officials standing in front are just perfectly blocking the view of their feet. Weird. I could only find the answer in writing. Ill learn more when I finally make it into the museum.

I was at the house of friend Rosanna Albertini and found a nice layout typical of her kitchen.

She is from Italy. Her table looks different. I asked her about everything on the table, where it came from, etc. The most peculiar to me was the dry pasta. How had it come to be there? She told me that its wonderful fried dry, then thrown into a soup to cook. That doesn’t explain why its there, but the idea was so strange I forgot the question.

I liked the look of this sponge/glass combo by the sink as well. Its got a little bit of everything in it- glamour, grit, youth, old age, clean, dirty. One thing you put to your mouth, one thing you keep out. They both hold water.

The round ocean, reflected.

I made a loaf of really good bread.
Someone suggested I post a picture of it, but it was so good, there isn’t much left to take a picture of.

Its really easy to make.
Flour, salt, yeast.
Dont even have to knead it.
Dirty only one pan.
It was all the rage on the NY times cooking pages some time ago.
Here is the recipe (the one on the top)
