The letters form the words,
The words make the story,
The story shapes the pictures,
Pictures this: memento mori.

The Famous Fictional exhibit opening is tonight, Friday 11/15, 7-11pm at @madartgallery — with a “horror” theme. This is my “Pair of Jacks are Wild” (from “The Shining” & “The Nightmare Before Christmas”) in which letters and words and pictures combine in a scary, inky, and ultimately unfulfilling mess. Well, rubber stamping Jack Skellington letter by letter turned out OK but typing out Jack Torrance was a real challenge.

Echo Bluff State Park is number 47 of 52. It’s super developed, but you need variety... backcountry primitive doesn’t serve everyone. Plus, it’s just nice (and they serve a good catfish sandwich). #everymostatepark2019 #hiking

Vintage typewriter (pairs nicely with fresh rubber stamps).

It was 20 years ago today, Sergeant Pepper... no. But November 7 marks exactly 20 years since I launched xBlog | The visual thinking weblog. Gah, wow, yikes! Anyway, the folks at @xplane_design_consultancy have kept it going and made it even better over the years. So cheers to blogs, XPLANE, HTML, @jefflash (who helped at the beginning), Dave Gray, and good links!

That’s 46. Katy Trail State Park — planned to bikepack the entire trail back in May, but got flooded out. Many parts are still closed. Instead, as @dkeaggy and I do every year, we rode a section and hung out afterwards. Did 15 windy (not winding) miles—Augusta to Dutzow and back—then ate lunch and had a beer at Augusta Brewing Company. Perfect! #everymostatepark2019 #katytrail

Checked off two more Missouri State Parks during my Ozark Trail #thruhike last month ...well, sort of. Eleven Point State Park is actually closed but I backpacked the Eleven Point section, and I passed through Roger Pryor Pioneer Backcountry in the Blair Creek section. So that’s 44 and 45 out of the 52 you can visit. Getting close. #everymostatepark2019 #hiking

Even a few days later, Halloween #lostumes can still be found.

Happy Halloween! Here’s a kid in “The Twilight Zone“ looking right at the camera for a moment.

Loved the Ai Weiwei exhibit at @kemperartmuseum. Go witness. Thx @dkeaggy.

Instagram post 2164616783427702034_138421 $So... the external Lightning drive I was saving all my #ozarktrail hike photos and videos to failed. At least 80% of the 2000+ images are just stacks of 00 00 00 00 dataforks. Most are not just corrupt, but nonexistent. Generic piles of unretrievable megabytes. Two weeks of forest bathing really must have set my mind right for me to be feeling so equanimous about this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯$

Done. Over the last two weeks I hiked the spine of The Ozark Trail, from about 30 miles from the Arkansas border nearly to Route 44 (Eleven Point to Courtois on the map, northbound). That’s 230 official trail miles and 247 according to my GPS. I will spam you with updates later, and will be editing videos over winter. Now, a bath.

Why so many trail and tree photos over the last couple years? I like hiking. I am currently mostly offline on the Ozark Trail. 70 miles in since Saturday. This is my first #thruhike attempt so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do the whole 230 miles, but I’m trying. #hiking #ozarktrail @ozark_trail @ozarktrail

Waterslides are one of the best inventions ever.

Sorena, however, was not impressed.
