#SquirrelSaturday #photography #squirrels

A squirrel peeks around a tree trunk, just its head and one paw can be seen. It looks directly at the camera. On the left side is a wall of spanish moss glowing in the sun.

“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

stained the poplar 7 string a nice green, did a quick coat of shellac on the neck and body. still carving away a bit at it, but its as done as it is for now. next body will change direction, do another hollow shell, probably maple/sapele or mahogany. low b string isn't very loud unplugged. #guitar

Green stained 7 string fanned fret guitar with maple neck. 2 humbuckers. Bottom of guitar has an extended bout, sort of like a kickstand. Idea borrowed from steve klein's ergonomic electric guitar

Only a specific type of person wants this. It's an Apple II floppy box, original. I feel bad throwing it out without offering it to whoever wants to cover postage, in the US.
