Farmer cutting back the tall dead grass in a fallow field at #StewartForest. NYS allows some farming activities in fields in the forest. Stewart is closed to the general public and open to only hunters for the next three weeks starting tomorrow.

We cleaned out our birdhouses in the “back 40” today. Birdhouses should be cleaned out before winter. The one on the left is a wren nest, the one on the right is a bluebird nest. #birdhouse #bird #birdnest

One of the most unusual text messages I’ve ever received. My name is not Walter and I have no extra tomato seedlings.

I asked AI to interpret my avatar. This was the response: The clock in the image displays the time as 10:10. The hour hand is pointing towards the 10, and the minute hand is pointing slightly past the 2, indicating approximately 10 minutes past the hour. 🤣

From CBS News. It would be so easy to say something snide about black bears dumped in Central Park or severed whale heads on top of the family car, but I won’t.

Listening to Memphis Slim Alone with My Friends. Some of the best #blues piano to be had. Like Robert Johnson playing 🎸 , you wonder if you you are hearing one player or two. I found this in the $1 remaindered stacks. I thought it was a find. Then I saw the $20 sticker. Worth every penny. #vinyl

I bought some #vinyl at #NewburghVintageEmporium today. The very loose improvisational, the classic #CharlieMingus City Hall concert on clear vinyl and #ClarkTerry Ain’t Misbehaving with #OscarPeterson on piano and some beautiful play between Terry and alto sax #ChrisWoods.

It’s been a long time since I’ve sunk my ears into Planet Waves. It holds up well and is a joy to listen to. Not as magisterial as Blood on the Tracks but a joy to listen to. Wonderful on a raw rainy August day. Maybe Blood was the cooked and Planet was the raw. #BobDylan #TheBand #Vinyl #Joy

We spent last week in Montreal. Not sure why, but this multi-media installation at La Musee des Beux Artes is just one vertex (or vector) in a very interesting trip. #Montreal
