snow mountain

The clouds behind the superstition mountain in a higher cone like a shadow.

Evening

Eating samosa yesterday, aloo with the amchur taste. When we eat things, over many times, at different places, the sameness of the encounter of a familiar food on the buds, builds on and you havent had the samosa just that one time but over years, the affair has been going on, reliving it each time.
At the end of it, we would have had a huge samosa like the big biscuit ad of a car insurance company. Like how a bunch of candles fuse into one in the heat. In an imaginary funeral rite, it would be a mighty bolillo roll and a half chewed milk truck. Add to the list,Giant apple, orange like Roald Dahl's cherry.
Talking of which, a limo followed by many cars flashing their hazard lights on the highway, was the first time I saw it being used as the exit chariot.

Many Loves, a poem by Allen Ginsberg sung on A prairie Home Companion.

Azzannare (Italian)

to sink ones teeth into

This has been todays motto until the visix Imaging software let 18 pictures of my teeth be mounted on it. If the xray machine could wonder, it wouldnt pass up thinking if the tube holder was focused on the right end of the dental patient. this patient would not mind if told that the teeth xray actually showed toes. Humors the dentist too. Whne I asked the assistant what the film holder was called.
'Rinn'1 she said.
'Wren' I heard.
Rinn expected a wide mouth. For a narrow mouth, resourceful assistant came up with a 'Snapper ray' which looked like a mix of clothespin with a sharp snap, geometry compass. Life saver.

Dental terms: Occlusal, Lingual, buccal, Overbite.

I saw a gray bird with black on the tail end. May be catbird. It played with the air for a while like it were dribbling.

When they report

All the media, newspaper and radio were trying to open my ears to the 'construction sounds' going on in the neighborhood, or wait is it in the world cup? I cant believe I bore that noise thinking that the sawing was going on at some building.
All in a click.

wordy distraction

This morning between birdwatching and making a lunch appointment, I had some miscalculated time on my hands. I had books but I didnt have the space. When I took the via point as a starbucks in a safeway, I was hoping for a place to sit. There were places to sit with either too much sun light facing east or no natural light inside. Shade of a tree next to a bike rack was the pit stop. When I had enough sun that I could take, I shut off boston cream pie's chatter and went with Tiramisu cake. Before billing , what should catch my eyes, a shelf full of books under the reading tree program. So now I have a Collins Italian- English dictionary to pair with a websters Spanish-English one.
A Different Angle - Fly fishing stories by women -
Wild Animus - Rich Shapero
Free falling and other student essays
1989 Europe- Fielding guide
On the road with Charles Kuralt
52 Florida weekends - Janet & Gordon Groene.

That was aperfect distraction for a time that I would have suffered to spend inside missing the sun. I was so much into sifting the books that I missed an announcement about some cake, which my Tiramisu reminded a lady next in line.
