Lars Eighner

When I saw Azusa on the news footer, for the love of AZ, I would jump right at it and mistake it for AZ & USA, if not for Lars Eighner's mention of this place.
I like his block statements in the blog.

Up the branch, to the root

Volksgarten is People's garden
and so Volkswagen is People's.

On seeing a school bus

A school bus in the evening losing itself into the apartments. Not a glamorous sight for a front seat rider, as much as seeing huge cars in silver. Away from the world of geeks in cubicles, there coexist kids going home. Away from me nature.

It takes the next day
for a new feeling.
Overnight some thing happens.

Lee's sandwiches

has a baguette factory with a sign flashing moving baguettes.

Obituaries

Had illy coffee yesterday. Just two days before that, the founder was alive. Was surprised to see Late Liz Claiborne with big glasses so clash with the image I had of a live woman as a clothes designer.
Seattle Espresso that served coffee, had a tip holder in the form of a fish with opened mouth. The overall shape was more of a paperweight. Very unlike the expected spindle shape(No good to hold any tips). Takes me back to a question I have: what is an elephant? The question arose from a proposed answer as to how to sculpt an elephant. Questions in Queue: Why an elephant? How do people make things? How do skill and design interact?

On the Other hand

Day 1:

Instructor: Work with your left hand on the inside of the cylinder in 3o'clock position.

Student: Not possible (in thought and action)

Day 2:

Student: 9o'clock works best for me with the right hand at the centre (Is something wrong?). Now this is progress.

Instructor: Uh ha! wrong direction for a rightie.

He turns the wheel around sending me back to Day 1.

Just when I was thinking, I was getting the hang of things, I have two choices:
new route to Day 2 or become a leftie.
