Mom's Birthday Party 9/17/2000

These were from a display probably put together by one of my sisters, which I inherited. Well, it isn't doing any good sitting in my basement, so I'll scan and upload these photos then discard them. In these pictures, Mom is in a recovery facility after her car accident.

Electric Upgrade Chimera

This lovely wire sculpture, entitled "Electric Upgrade Chimera," was recently installed at my home courtesy of Puget Sound Utilities. Thanks! (Seriously - it's been maybe a year since my electricals were upgraded to support the heat pump and finally the electric company got around to replacing the temporary connectors with something permanent. I didn't get any notice; I just found the scrap wire on my potting table. Well, it's done and that's good. From the right angle, these look like a sort of montrous critter.
