The Water Has Ghostly Ribs


As it came out of the downspout, rainwater produced some foam,
 creating rib-like pictographs, ethereal and ephemeral,
both in their composition and existence on the water's surface.

    Isn't that Klingon writing? Is the waterspout trying to communicate?

    I don't know from Klingon writing, but the waterspout may have been trying to make art.

    when my knees are replaced, walking and looking and SEEING shall be my thing. I want to SEE the way you do-- the beauty in small things that we gloss over.

    Your mention of Klingon writing reminded me of this, Dive -

    Thanks, Lin. I almost passed by the foamy bits from the downspout. When ones life becomes so conscripted, one needs to find beauty ... wherever. Thank god for my little camera, the art museum, my books and the web.

    Hee hee, Speedway.
    Klingon disappointed me. I wanted to make a sign for the door of our old IT department but there is no Klingon word for "Anorak" or "Nerd" so I gave up.

    Wouldn't "anorak" then equal

    SiS + cheSrel (water jacket)

    As for Nerd" I suppose you's just have to post a picture of a geek who hasn't ever seen a vagina, posing with his Storm Trooper cookie jar.

    If I didn't already know you are the Queen of Research I'd be more than a little alarmed at your knowledge of Klingon.

    Honestly, I wouldn't have looked it up except that your mention made me curious.
