Fabric - Summon These Days (Music)

Cartoonacy and Frankencalvin

It has been a while, fellow travelers. It has been one of those phases where I am doing a lot of conceptualization, fabric, Ari Park, and Chasing the Sun, that I am not ready to share. Also, I have had an interesting flute journey on Boracay going, meeting a lot of interesting people at Exit, Red Pirate, Treehouse, Lokal, and under palm trees. The tao admits no mistakes and no straight paths. To learn the way forward, you must cross the river several times. So, let's get past the cryptic and into the quiptastic:

My old Boracay friend PJ Villanueva did this one a couple months ago. I mentioned I liked his art and he likes my flute, so...
Porch thoughts on the political circus:

So the $100 philosophy question is: if you have a Presidential candidate who endorses use of nukes and blanket bans against ethnic groups––makes rash decisions that might cause untold human suffering and set back the fight against global warming 50 years––do you, for the continued integrity of the system, allow him to stand for President?*

To put it another way: Germany had to learn the hard way that democracy has a lot of loopholes for loonies to pass through.

...PJ made this piece of art. Damn. Amazing when music fosters visuals.
I'm pretty sure most people meet other people via devices these days. I carry the flute to make sure that I will not meet anyone who is not actively interested in listening, dancing, or pretending to play. On rare cases when someone can make a melodic run of notes, I bow and applaud.**

The way I use Facebook is different from most,
I don’t have a smartphone you see––
And notice i said “use” and not “uses me.”

I have been into cartoons lately. This is what happens when a cartoonist goes off the rails and no longer cares about an editor's approval ("last week" refers to Mr. Trump's even more excoriating performance at the Republican National Convention). Love it.***

​The sheer verbosity may shield you from the fact that Opus, true to penguin form, has ordered a perch smoothie, hold the flounder.

And then there is this Frankencalvin stroke of sheer brilliance, of which it was difficult to select and share just one.

Sometimes I take time to abbreviate my great ideas on Facebook:

"I have a platform called fabric in mind that deals with profits leaving communities through captured Internet middle man profiteers. (And fosters sustainability, income equality, and Gross National Happiness). As a beta in Boracay it creates a native-style paraw of sustainably harvested wood and anahaw fronds; a flute-djimbe-acoustic guitar musical concept; a Lonely Planet-esque travel app; and a starter fabric project focused on recycling (separation still does not occur on the island at scale)."***

A long walk a ragged crawl, onion town.

* Assuming a reasonable chance of winning, which is no longer so clear.

*** I have talked with numerous locals and small business owners, getting ideas. The actual project should commence in early October.
