Primeval Intersections

This past friday this is what we did in my performance class

even more new mugs

why so many mugs? well i suck at making handles and ive been collecting mugs for research and well its just fun to decal.

walnuts...

so i recently read that people are generally happier when they use their hands to gather food, cook or make things. processing walnuts by hand is very labor intensive and messy. but will be well worth the pain as nico and i have recently discovered. the price of walnuts at berkeley bowl makes so much sense.

Bridge Tour

So this little troll was built out of the scrape the iron workers took from the carnage left behind from the 1989 quake. They took it to a blacksmith and he made this troll which they attached to the old bridge. So there is your gargoyle Dana.

I really love the juxtaposition of the old and new here.

Also the engineering for the new bridge is quite amazing as far as durability from quakes and such. In answer to attacks the old bridge actually with stood two plane crashes one from a navy plane and the other i can't remember. but i have full faith in the new bridge. the bike lane, well only will go as far as yerba buena island do to the traffic of the cargo ships on the san francisco side...whatever...at least that was there answer. also underneath the new bridge they have installed perches for migrating birds...good ol california...anyway all in all the people from caltrans were really cool and very informative...the experience was really inspiring. it would be awesome to do it again. im going to look into seeing if i can set up a tour if i can get at least 20 people who are interested. so let me know if you want to see the bridge.
