Things are too quiet around here. Time to look through the accumulated 60+ flags and stir up trouble.

At the behest of my excessively negligent husband, I ordered green contacts instead of blue, as I've long wanted ever since I learned they make colored contact lenses, on the suggestion that blue eyes is so Nordic and I should embrace my Celtishness and go with green.
The lenses will be in tomorrow, technically today.
My rendition of Behind Blue Eyes will have to wait.:cool:

Im noticing it looks weird to have a colored drawing after years of using lead and charcoal, that isn't a colored in outline. Didn't work out too well for me, but I learned a few things doing a drawing of a bottle. Like how doing shadows seems to be working very well for doing it as I would my eyeline, rather than the method I saw online (for this particular project anyways - a few quick testers of the online method worked just well but wasnt on a blue surface).

Definitely not my best work, but at least it did do what it was intended to do. And I always find it fascinating how a camera instantly changes how you see what you just did. (The splotch in the middle was me testing a "new type to me" type of eraser)

Bakersfield has numerous speed dips and several "speed trenches."

The speed trenches here are along each side of country roads, they double as drainage ditches. It is amazing how many times we see a car with its front in the ditch and it's back end in the air right after a bend in the road.

I once started going around a bend on a motocycle going a bit too fast to make it. My choice was to be stupid and slide of the road with a bike on my leg or brake and go off the road in a controlled way. I chose the later and was no worse for wear, fortunately.

Good thinking
If you could bottle that luck to sell you would be rich.

Thats about how they are in Bakersfield. Dips and trenches to serve as speed traps, drainage ditches, and claiming cars that fatally enter (too fast, in the case here).
