t-2!!!!!!!!!!!!

almost there. almost there.

went bandana shopping. according to some previous volunteers, you gotta have some bandanas to be used in combination with: sweat, dust, and/or hard hats. also bought (they were on the list) bug repellant (at costco, 4 different kinds), a flash light (that i hope i won't forget to pack), and, in case the 4 bottles of bug repellant don't do their thing, i got some benadryl gel.

also checked the weather for NO... no good, scattered t-storms predicted for the next week or so. us norcal people don't really know much about thunderstorms. i do know, from a previous life, that thunderstorms, cool as they are, usually come with rain... not sure i like the idea of rain and construction work happening at the same time. not that i've ever tried it, but it just doesn't sound right to me. guess we'll find out.

picasso... i'm just gonna state the obvious: he belongs in the same category as elvis, the sopranos and citizen kane. there was art/music/tv/film before, and then there's after. and once we got to the "after" part, there's just no way of going back. not that anyone would ever want to.
