Backpack contents: Three notebooks (pocketsize sketchbooks). My 2nd laptop, Battles. Scripts for Denizen & illustrations in progress for Burroughs Folio. One large sketchbook, new. My newest mp3 player, Bangs. Portable bluetooth speaker. Large bottle water. Umbrella. Binoculars. Leatherman multi-tool.
That's probably too much weight, combined: paper, electronic, & equipment. Right knee seems to be improving, gradually, but it's sly & tricky on a whim. I should leave the binoculars. But you never know who you'll see on the channel trail: deer, coyotes, rabbits, heron. Had great luck with deer lately.
Been noticing strange aches in scar tissue w/ this storm system. Last three-four days it's been mild pressure in/around the skull fracture, which makes sense, because the injury was adjacent to sinuses. Brief moments of increased sensitivity, some throbbing, nothing sustained. Went in minutes. This morning is curious because the scar tissue that's reacting is my right ear. Which doesn't act up, generally.
Could be weather-predictive. Four years in, I'm still learning what anything means, if it does.
Off I go. Let's see if I can get Hero of the Fever underway. I'd like to start serializing it here next month. At the very least will use this outing to finish reading 'The Screwball Asses'. Useful in re: queertopian concerns. Studied some patented breakwater designs last night, so those are going in the sketchbook. Feel like I have a handle on where to take this thing.
Who'd'a thunk reading all of Theodore Sturgeon in my mid-twenties would pay off at fifty?
