Backyard moment after the storm blew through this evening. Seemed like prime rainbow weather but the conditions never quite lined up. Turned around and stared at this for fifteen minutes instead.

and here's the other year-end dnd pic for sirocco's party!
ID: Digital illustration of a dungeons and dragons party gathered together at a wooden table, in a general state of chaos. The central figure is a human man tensely gripping a metal tankard as a dark-feathered iridescent bird man dumps three bottles of liquor into the tankard, overflowing onto the table. Off to the right, a red-furred feline man with curled horns is holding a teapot, trying to shove in past the bird with a different drink offering. Off to the left, a black and white furred feline man sits on the edge of the table, staring into the distance with binoculars to keep an eye out. Behind everyone, a large white wolf man holds up the world's most pitiful little fish on a fishing line, and a net full of fished up trash that he's set on the table, soaking everything with dirty water.
He’s my favorite person 💙 Imagine strolling down the street with him looking like this. I wouldn’t be able to take my eyes off him and I’d probably end up walking into a pole 🤷🏼♀️😂
There are many song cues apropos to particular road trips, and vice versa. You might wonder about being born in the back of a Greyhound bus when riding on Highway 41 through Georgia. You might feel like stopping for a brew somewhere along US2 twelve hours out of Mackinaw City. Readin’, rightin’, and Route 23 might have put you Detroit City bound on that old Hillbilly Highway. You might be thinking about getting back to Ojai while hitching a ride up the PCH. Or about all those things that are easily done out on Highway 61. Not to mention the kicks on Route 66.
Myself, I’m way past seventeen and it’s more than a half century since 1965, but I was running up 101 the other day for the first time in my life, so I had to cue up some Jackson Browne.
I'll be at Bart's Books in Ojai, CA next Thursday, March 21st at 6pm to interview my genius bike-touring, adventure-having, genre-bending cartoonist friend Tessa Hulls about her new graphic memoir Feeding Ghosts. The book explores three generations of her family's tumultuous history from Maoist China to America and beyond. It's rich and cathartic and unbelievably gorgeous. Tessa's spent the last nine years bringing it to life. You can read more about it in the San Francisco Chronicle or the New York Times.
Given the lengthy isolation and emotional toll required to craft a book like this, I'm very keen to have a packed house to help celebrate its emergence into the world. If you've never been, Bart's has a gorgeous outdoor courtyard and an absolutely amazing selection of used titles. Well worth the visit.
