(From Cheech and Chong's wonderful, "Born in East L. A.")
As promised, here's a shot from the "Mr. Marin" Contest we once covered, including a (soon to be) new multi-pic section in our "Modeling and Portraits" page. We've found literally 500 or more images in one of the boxes Chris has been carrying around for years and finally has the time to go through.
(We've found the bulk of the Miss Marin Contest pics we took long ago, too.) Once again, our policy is to present a small sampling, (5-25), to highlight our abilities, as soon as we get time, in our modeling section. And we know we have a release from the pageant in a box somewhere, too.
We're quite confident we also have the list of contestants and their names, and the year of the contest(s), so we'll add those as soon as we can find them (soon).
However, the photographic process has been temporarily interrupted while we research our best buy on a good slide and negative to digital converter. Maybe a week or two. (Our cheap one broke.)
And there's a new writing contribution in "What's New": an old drug-induced-while-trying-to-get-off-them diatribe titled "Perspectives."
Meanwhile, it's been over 80 on the porch during the day for weeks now, and everything is growing gangbusters, so we have all the fresh vegetables we need or want, and fruit soon.
One of the best companion plants for our 10 or so asparagus deck pots is tomatoes, so we've prepped and planted them for a likely very hot summer. Another main vegetable (besides spices and herbs) that we like is cauliflower which seems to play well with both of them.
And we've finished planting the garden, too.
Mix 'em with bulk-stored pasta, beans and rice and you’ve got years of quality stored healthy food, along with the occasional fish, rabbit, snake (wonderful, and all meat; tastes like chicken) or turkey, for protein.
And after reflecting on it a lot, we've decided to issue another MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT, that our previous one is being rescinded, because we use English as a "guide" and will continue to write in an idiomatic style (and are now confident we'll remember when a period precedes the question mark in good writing, or not).
See, you end up realizing that sometimes, you just have to follow the rules . . .
Just Kidding! Grammerly was run on this page, too!
We're almost ready with a new recorded song, a new version of an old song with a added verse, and we've maybe found a primary location to shoot "The Silver Splitter", too.
