Found today
A very cool piece of ephemera in a Fall 1984 Mad Magazine!
My friend Pat gave me a stack of old Mads, and I have been reading them all—it's quite a trip. I used to read my brother's when I was a kid.
Pat buys them online; he uses the fold-outs on the inside back covers to make awesome little paintings.

Found on the street
This amazing Eames chair!
I cleaned it up and was totally going to sell it. But then I put this cushion in it . . . and it looks so good!
Now I have to keep it.

Saturday
I went around on my bike gathering items.
From the junk room of a Lutheran Church:
Life of Johnson! Set in two columns.
With a surprise:
One awesome dollar.
Also one dollar:
"Mom" jeans.
This book (a first edition), also a dollar:
Best.
Then I picked up some coffee, so Sunday morning wouldn't be sad.
And last but not least, a stop at the local artisanal butcher:
That is correct, six slices of bacon for $6.47.
And the best thing, not purchased but pilfered:
It was on a spider plant at the butcher shop...

NEWS ALERT
THERE IS A KITTEN IN THE CORNER STORE.
Yes, you can spy on it.
AND enhance the spy images.
The coolest thing
Greg and I were walking home from his studio last week, through a pretty deserted area of Brooklyn. As we looked ahead, we saw an enormous train engine slowly pull into the road, followed by a row of freight cars.
The train stopped, blocking traffic. Then, after lots of clanking, the engine came back across the road by itself! So big and powerful.
The guy hopped on so fast, it was kind of amazing.
The engine manoeuvered behind the cars...
Then pushed them the rest of the way across the road.
It was surreal and awesome.
I dared Greg to wave at the engineer, but he would not.
