Back in the Eighties

In the Eighties I was not in Norwich but the State Hospital was a major employer for the region. Now left to lie in ruin all that is left is shadows of past life's etched in the peeling paint and rotting wood. Broken windows and broken dreams/nightmares. Now the carcass of the Hospital is a political feeding ground for dreams of power, money, smoke and mirrors. The vultures circle and spin the truth out while the guards watch over the ghosts and the memories in the shadows of success or failure.

Today, tomorrow the eighties or the new millennium Identity?



1908-2008-1984?

Who are you? Are you the person you think you are or are you the person your co-workers, drinking buddies, students etc think you are? You could be your screen name[s] or any number of aliases. Has this high speed artifiscal intelligence world contributed to multiple identities? Or is this IPodian "society" stripping us of individuality of identity? all of yous enjoy pjc

Slipping From the 80's today

Last week I came across this display at a chain bookstore, I suppose you could call it "Found Art"
a popular genre in the world of everyone is an artist. I just call it "Worship." I suppose you could call most photography found art from the spectacular landscapes to the highly manipulated conceptual that you and artificial intelligence collaborated on to create with your prosumer latest upgrade. I being a dinosaur prefer to think of it as seeing what is right in front of me and visually commenting.
Yesterday I had lunch at Dalton's Pub while waiting for a print at RJ Phil's Custom Lab in East Hampton and the owner was an old friend from the 80's. So I am not straying to far off track. The food was great and the memories warm and fun. More from Dalton's the 80's and The Nutshell later. enjoy pjc

Brimfield Ma. July 1982

The Brimfield Antiques Markets was where I could be found in the eighties a lot. Working for The Wooden Nutmeg I would travel to many Antique Shows. This old auto was for sale in July '82, I bought a tin box. Brimfield happens three times a year with thousands of dealers. It is a photo op paradise.
Maybe I'll go in May this year. Travel an old road for anther look. enjoy pjc

We the people are the April Fools.

New England Farming Sub Prime Land Theft
Brought to you by Hyatt Hotels, Read the articles below and make up your own minds The Gov. of NY slept with a prostitute big deal, who is your Move On candidate sleeping with or Billery"s financial incest the most popular game in D.C. Do it on the Commercials from your favorite reality TV Show, The [very] White House. Catching you up on yesterday's soaps Rolly Polly shotgun wielding Dick, Direct from Iraq tells us the war is won our purpose there is noble.
Ya and the economy is great [for Millionaires] bail out the Financial Institutions and the depositors and your pensions? Just bend over for the good of the community. Don't blame Dubya and think he's dumb, "We the People" buy his act daily so take your crumbs from the IRS spend it at The Great WallofChinaMart on Pretzels and send them to the Very White House.

Politics certainly does bring strange bedfellows. [and I am not talking New York here] A little light liberal reading send money then move on, like out of your house that you acquired with a Subprime Loan. Either candidate comes with a Pritzker, and drive away in the subrime Prikzter auto. Pritzker's Superior Bank blazing a trail of fraud and deception. And sleeping with both of your candidates.
Please don't feel that this is an endorsement for Bomb Iran or anyone for a profit McCain I don't make endorsements or enough money for Diebolt to even count my vote.
