Greetings from the subatomic world. As many of you know, my orange Element, a heavy Element, was crushed beyond repair on January 16 in the particle-race of my urban neighborhood. I was only mildly hurt (bruises) and have recovered. It was necessary to get another car, and this is what I got. It is a Honda Civic with a hatchback door. I have driven Hondas for more than 20 years so I went with what I trust. Aesthetic values were also important; I wanted an orange car but the only orange Honda is the minuscule "Fit" which was charming but tiny. This Civic is basically Honda's smallish utilitarian car, with plenty of cargo space in the back, a modernist Japanese-anime look to the exterior, and a brilliant metallic blue color almost identical to the original Electron Blue Honda CRV that I used to drive. So...say hello to "Electron Blue 2." (This blog is number 3. Confusing? Yes, like road signs in Fairfax, VA.) I am driving the urban labyrinth in this conveyance now and I'm taking some time to get used to it. It will be a while before I get over the accident but I need to do it.
I haven't posted to this Electron Blog for quite a while but now that the new particle is glowing on the roads, I will be writing more for it. I will be "re-blogging" some of the material from "Art By-Products" which will remain mostly art-centered. This blog will show some of my photo-restorations and writing about the fascinating places and people from the family archive. And if I have more words to emit, I will do so as part of my "blue-shift."
