Ego shot

I’ve been getting a little lax on Off-Day content, posting late and all.  I’d like to continue the ‘Grand Canyon Diary’ posts I started earlier, but I’m daunted by the task.  So today’s offering is an ego shot of me paddling on some whitewater.  Oooh, fancy.  The river is the Ocoee, to which I’m returning later this summer, just for a couple of days.  Anyone wanna meet up and kayak a bit?  It’ll be fun on a bun in the sun.  I hope.  Rain’s okay, too, I guess.  So if you’re in the SE of the US, and you wanna see me get my bun handed to me on a little whitewater, let me know.

Book One- The Hubrissing

Well, Good John Lotshaw at Moonbase Press has set up the first iteration of the first Hubris book ‘I Meant To Do That’.

Click HERE to peruse and perhaps purchase the product. (the Preview feature is a little wonky when I use it.  I have to scroll through all the pages as blanks once, then it loads the book contents.  weird.)

It makes a grand gift to those Luddites and other friends and family who do not share your penchant for coming to this website and enjoying Hubris as a vibrant digital experience.

It also serves as something you can sit with in small rooms with tile floors and running water- you know, where having your computer is nice, but unwieldy.

We’ll eventually do a printing of copies I can carry around to shows like the Kenosha Festival of Cartooning, and conventions, and stuff like that.  Those, and any copies that you purchase at Lulu then bring to me for the purpose, will be autographed and sketched in and all.

Search the World Over…

Admittedly, there’s less to work with this time, Mr. Holmes.  In fact, even with access to the answer, I can’t see how anyone could arrive at it from this.  Let’s just examine the visual cues…

 

Hmm.  A two inch sticker is fairly large in relation to the ‘O’ or ‘0’ that it’s stuck inside.

That means that the letter (or number) is in a smallish sign, or on a word that’s very long and needed smaller letters to fit.  Or maybe in a Sub-head on a sign?

 

The typeface is an austere serif face, so it’s not some roadside happy-slappy burger place.  Someplace that takes itself (or its signage) seriously.

 

Hmmm.  The background is a stone relief. Expensive.

 

Not the gray rock of the East, more the sun-burnt dun of the West, I guess.

 

The paint on the lettering is cracked.  Doesn’t look like wear.  Or rain damage.  Looks like sun blistering to me, but I could be wrong.

 

Sooo, what does that tell us?

 

Some signage, out West maybe, that someone spent some money on.  It’s a long sign, or has a sub-head with smallish lettering.

 

Any ideas?  Could be a ‘ZOO’ that has ‘O’s in it.  Could be a ‘RESORT’.  It’s not Burger King.  Wrong typeface, substrate and colors.

 

What COULD it be?

 

Tantalizing in it’s lack of clues, really.

 

Anyone got a good guess?

 

Don’t scroll down until you’ve taken a moment to consider carefully.

 

Throw SOMETHING out there. Don’t be lazy and say, “There’s no way to think it out, I’ma just scroll down.”

 

You’ll probably scroll down, see the whole sign and either say, “Oh, why didn’t I guess?  Just a guess!?” or you’ll say, out loud, “Yeah, that’s what I would have guessed, if I’d guessed.”

 

Cop out.

 

Anyhow, I suppose you have SOMETHING in mind now?  “Doctor’s Office”?  “Monument to the fallen heroes”?

 

Okay.

 

Here goes:

 

 

 

 

There you go.  How was your guess?

Where’s Wald… I mean Hubris. Part 2

Okay.  So here you go.  Where is this Hubris sticker?  What kind of visual cues can you pick out of this little photo (you can click on the little photo to see it larger if that helps) to identify this location?  Hmmmmm.  Let’s see.  Is that concrete or metal or… well it’s got plants around it.  And dirt.  And let’s see… those stickers are roughly two inches across, so the scale of the thing…

 

Hmmm.

 

Have you worked it out yet?

 

You’ve narrowed it down to a possible country or at least a state or district, right?

 

No spoilers.  Work your brain a little before you finish scrolling down.

 

Got it now?

 

Okay, here you go:

 

 

‘Texas’ is a perfectly acceptable answer.  If you know the name of this building, you tell me.  The guy that sent me this photo didn’t specify.  Half points if you said “China”.  That’s one big star, folks.

 

Let me know if you would like a sticker or two to hide in plain sight.  You’ll have to trust me with your address, which I won’t sell to anyone, and you’ll have to send me photos of the place you put the sticker (they go well on bikes, skateboards and helmets too, so you might get double duty out of them- decorate your gear and a neat photo op out somewhere)  And you need to understand that if the authorities contact the site asking me to come to, say, Juno Alaska to scrape a sticker off a public restroom urinal, I will toss your name and address to them faster than a prison snitch with a hot girlfriend and a convertible waiting for him at the razorwire frontier.  Not that Juno Alaska isn’t exactly where I’d like to visit, I’m just not keen on police officers greeting me at the airport with a paint scraper and smiles under their cool police mustaches.
