Rain hills
Rain and weather obscure hills in timelapse.
Rain picture
Here is a picture I took today of rain.
Rain is so awesome, especially if you dont see it very often.
It can be so loud and wet, but its almost invisible in photos, like a ghost.
In Ojai today I saw two huge trees that fell over, I remember them from childhood.
On the highway south I saw a tow-truck picking up another tow-truck on the side of the road.
An hour later I encountered a detour because of road damage, and the detour had a detour because of more damage.
Who let the dogs out?
When I see a dog I think of this song.
When I see a picture of a dog I think of this song.
When I see a dog in my mind I think of this song.
Sometimes I think of this song, and think about dogs.
This has been going on for some years.
Not sure where I found it on their site.
Not here or here or over here. Who knows?
Here are some recent and long ago dogs.
animation for commercial
Here is a commercial I helped animate.
I worked on the big machine (called a fardier) and some sparks and flames.
It was a lot of work.
And its very pretty.
They should show it in slo-mo.
Down the river
Got a chance to head down the river to visit old Joe and the boys.
Oh its great to get back on the water and take in the fresh air!
We finally made it to the town at dusk. Â
It was great to see all the nice trees and such but its a real shame the state of the birds around here. Â
Terrible posture, every one. Â
Too much ledger work, I am told.
Got in before Brynner set up the fireworks show. Â
Doesn’t move as fast since he had the blowout in his ticker.
Dont know if he needs to see a doctor or an electrician.
Not sure what this fellow was up to in this tree, but looked like a dubious situation at best.
All kinds of undesirables moving into town with the new silver mine.
Suddenly- What the devil? Â Is this a hold-up?
Oh, hardly!  Just trying to scare off that old bear again.
Times come when a bear can hardly bring its waterbag down to the crick for a fill-up.
We retired to the local watern’ bowl to refresh our “spirits”.
All the old boys were there, Baldy, Scalp, and Wigface.
Yes, good to see them all again. Â
All the good times.
Even poor Roger came down to join in the revelry- but got mixed up halfway through demonstrating magic trick and boy was he red!
Yes, we stayed out till the skeletons returned and it was time to go home.
Oh the times we had!
Lady does the robot (but not very well)
Great millions are spend trying to make robots and computer characters have the spark of life, the feeling of humanity, or at least the motion. Now everybody is tired of that old thing. Las Vegas leading the new trend with video poker ladies imitating the lifeless movements of 1990 computer simulation.
Vegas Baby
We went to Las Vegas overnight to visit Jennifer’s friends there, and see Cirque du Soleil “O”.
 Jennifer’s friend is a clown in the show. Â
Robin has a body painting business.
We took in all the sights we could, and I got in a little gaming.
I played a few rolls of “Sex in the city” video slots and won $45!
But this guy totally hit the jackpot- he won a baby from the claw machine!
Little guy looked hungry, and we wanted to impress him so we took him to a real nice place for a good meal.
Vegas Baby!
Stay Chill
Hey chill out, dude.
Just try to relax.
Its Sunday, maybe.
Take a load off.
In this cylinder thing.
Just rest your head on this marigold over here.
Check out the art.
Think about flowers.
You are looking stiff.
We got some pictures on the wall.
No worries.
