It's still August (ok, barely) but the temperature this morning went into the 40s (ok, barely). That's blowjhinski.

Was putting away some odds and ends just now and came across the bullet ear-ring I made for myself back in the mid-80s. I used to wear that thing a lot, though it did weigh a bit more than a normal ear-ring (despite being a low caliber round). Too bad I don't wear metals anymore -- while the shock value of most things have faded over the years, this particular bit of ornamentation would offend more sensibilities today than ever before.

Anyway, I'm glad Guido found the thing after a lost it that night drinking all that Dead Newt beer that he brewed in his dorm room, then me passing out on that duffel bag full of wooden coat hangers, lying there comatose with my ear-ring falling out and my spine starting its steady decline.
