Pottery at Globe Market
Category: art

Today while eating crabcakes at globe market, I spotted some nice looking pottery. Its all set up around these local art displays, so I assumed it was local art.

The one brown vase and the aorta one both struck my fancy and both were reasonably priced. The brown one was really heavy. Both had a tag on them for some artist/dealer on hertel.

They both look pretty orginal and I was all set on buying both or either.

That was until I flipped them over and saw they were from Vietnam and China.

maybe they were made by artists there like those 1000 villages stores where the stuff is made by people in third world countries to get a living wage.

Pear Leaf Blight, Fabrcea Maculata
Category: trees

Oh man, our pear trees which have like 1000+ pears are suffering from pear leaf blight

I think the wetness and windiness made it worse and we might lose the whole crop. It is probably too late to spray as the infection seems really severe.

I tried to trim back the highly affected areas and remove all the infected leaf bebris on the ground.

Mud Wrestling
Category: hiking

This looks like it could be fun. Just a random pic I found on flickr, sadly I was not there taking the pic.

Well I would think mud wrestling with some chicks would be fun, who knows maybe it would even be fun with like a bunch of couples

It seems like mud wrestling is really popular in Germany. Those those two look like Sean Cody stable boys.

The last thursday in the square
Category: thursday

Yesterday, I thought it was a good idea to whoop up for the last thursday in the square. I ended up hanging out with so many people. There was sameer, (e:Terry), (e:jim), and (e:heidi) at the square. Then we saw Casey down there. Afterward I saw (e:mike) and (e:libertad), (e:enknot), john and johnny and a whole bunch of random people I know from here or there.

I went but obviously missed you guys -- too bad. But the Avett Bros. were pretty good in any case.

Sorry about the mix up, please send the check back and I will have it
corrected.

I saw this last night and responded:

Sorry, I hadn't seen the email earlier - I was very busy this week and just assumed you would have rectified the situation as it was clearly your firm's error.

Unfortunately, the check was shreded after I sent you the email. You can feel free to put a stop payment on it if you are worried.

I really don't want to wait much longer as we need the money to pay for the roof and I don't see why we should be penalized for your firm's error. I reattched a picture of the check from the day we received it so you can confirm the error.

Honestly, at this point I feel like you probably owe us interest on the funds.

Would it be easier to just wire the money? I will send you the routing number and acct number as soon as you respond.

Thanks for your time,
Paul Visco
