KNO3 sent this in, figuring (rightly, I bet) that we’d all enjoy it. If DaVinci had had Carbon Fiber, he’d have built this or something like it.
So… for whoever invents the time machine- First, Kill Hitler. Second, Give Leonardo Carbon Fiber.
So, I was on St.Simon’s Island, GA. It’s a very nice place. And there, in the middle of a great vacation spot, is GlynnArt.
They’re currently hosting a show of Jack Davis art. If you don’t know his name, don’t worry. I can explain to you who he is very easily.
He was there for the old EC ‘Tales From The Crypt’ comics, and when Mad comics (for whom he drew their SECOND cover) became MAD magazine, Jack stayed with ’em. He also drew uncounted covers for Time, and Reader’s Digest, and more titles than you want to have listed. Amazing man with an amazing career- which isn’t over yet, I should add. He’s still knocking out work.
Egomaniac that I am, when asked if I could participate in the opening weekend of the show, I jumped at it. I taught two classes (originally I stepped in as a replacement teacher of the Inking With A Brush class for adults, when a few weeks before the opening, the space was vacated) Then, friend John Read had to skip out and spend some time at a hospital bedside, I became the childrens’ Cartooning 101 teacher.
Here are photos of my classes… Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the lesson!
There was some video shot. If Jonathon sends me the link, I’ll pass it on to you guys… even though the sound of my own too-loud, too-nasal, too-weird voice on playback makes me cringe.
So Carl, my buddy, is getting married in a week.
Last week he had his Bachelor Party.
Not the sort of debauch you’d be worried about. It was a cabin weekend and mountain bike ride in the hills an hour or so east of Chattanooga.
Carl hit a ‘stob’. If you’re not from ’round here, you may not know what a stob is, but if you hit one, you know it.
Carl hit one. Hope his head heals up before the wedding, or we’re all in trouble.
So, I’m at the Ocoee river, and we go to Boyd’s Gap Overlook. I got a couple of photos and then thought I’d climb down these rocks a bit.
I refuse to admit it, but I hadda go wet some earth.
So I climb down out of eyeshot of everyone when I find out that I cannot go pee here at all.
Because there’s this:
I climbed back up and asked if a kayaker named Doug had famously passed away recently. They told me the name of a person that fit the description, and I assume this was a shrine to his memory.
That’s pretty cool.
If I croak anytime soon, you guys leave some memorials like this for me, willya?
Be at peace, Doug. Folks thought a lot of you, it looks like to me.

Click to check out photos of The Great Canoe and Kayak Race, Memphis.
It’s an annual race during Memphis In May festivities that goes from the mouth of the Wolf river down the Mississippi (the only time and place that the river is closed to heavy traffic for such an event, I’ve been told) and around Mud Island (made famous in the movie The Firm, even though people seeing the film reportedly thought Mud Island must have been some Hollywood-created backdrop, ’cause no one would be dumb enough to name a real place that.) and ending in the harbor.
Some friends and I used to paddle safety boat for the race. Some other friends did the actual racing, and likely still do. I haven’t been in a while, I hate to admit.
But you can check out the photos- And the rest of the FOOR site. Enjoy! Y’all come on around next year and race yo’ boats with us. If you’re coming, let me know. I’ll be sure to start attending again.
