Went to Bodie California today. A real life ghost town on this Old Hallow's Eve.

The town boomed in the 1880's with gold and silver, only to fall in hard times as the mines went bust. A fire took out most of the town in 1932. Everyone packed up and left, not even bothering to move furniture.

The town was preserved in arrested decay in the 1960's.

Frieder, die FF*-Möwe, ist immer ein Hingucker-Begleiter. Der observiert die Umgebung ganz genau.

A la renaissance il y a plusieurs types de broderie noire : des motifs géométriques à points comptés mais aussi des broderies qui imitent les gravures
Les motifs ne sont pas toujours tracés à la main mais imprimés de la même manière que dans les livres

for wōdnesdæg (or wednesday), here's a kind, contented, and very wise corvid friend hoping to remind us that there is more to all of this than we think. and that there's more to us than we think too.

take care, good folk, and well done for getting to/through midweek.
