Andy Warhol Shopping
By Jack Brummet, American Art Ed.
Andy Warhol, shopping at Gristede's, 1965. Notice at least four of his iconic objects in the cart. This must have been a publicity shoot? Photographer is apparently Bob Adelman.

Seattle mechanaphile has had sex with 700 cars
By Mona Goldwater, Social Mores Ed.
A story in The Mirror provides details of Edward Smith's love life as a mechanaphile:
"A man who has had sex with over 700 cars has revealed how he had his first physical experience of car love with a Volkswagen Beetle.
"Edward Smith, 63, told Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden on This Morning how he was “tempted one night to step outside” to make love to the neighbour’s car as a young teen, having first become attracted to cars in 1965.
". . .Edward is sexually attracted to machines – and as well as having sex with cars, has also had a relationship with a helicopter and planes, claiming they are all better than women.
“I began an interest in the beauty of cars when I was turning just 15 years of age,” revealed Edward, from Washington in the US. Go here to read the entire article in The Mirror and see the brief video clip (SFW more or less).

ATIT Reheated: Boats along the Palomino/La Matuy beach in Colombia
By Jack Brummet, Colombia Travel Ed.
All along the fantastic and deserted beach we lived on at the eco-palapa joint near Palomino (no electricity, internet, etc.), property lines were often demarcated by old dinghys, prams, canoes, and rowboats. . .often with amazing textures, colors, and half-baked repairs. . .

The Grateful Dead 1991 - Turn On Your Lovelight - with Bruce Hornsby and Branford Marsalis
By Jack Brummet, Rock Ed.
---o0o---
Some of my favorite Dead shows were from the dark time after Brent died and Bruce Hornsby joined the band for a year and a half. Things got even better when Branford Marsalis came along. He played many shows with them around that same period.

Shoe Cameras in Japan (clandestine up-skirt cameras)
Police in Japan's Kyoto Prefecture raided a shoe manufacturer in July and commandeered a list of about 1,500 purchasers of the company's signature "tosatsu's"—shoes with built-in cameras. Investigators have begun visiting the purchasers at home to ask that they hand in the shoes (but, out of fairness, said they would not cause trouble for customers who could produce a legitimate reason for needing to take photographs and video by pointing their shoe at something). (The seller was charged with "aiding voyeurism" and fined the equivalent of about $4,500 under a nuisance-prevention law.) —From United Press International, 9-23-2014

Poem: Breakdown
By Jack Brummet
The
undead walk
Sloughing tendrils of putrefied flesh
Sloughing tendrils of putrefied flesh
And
the living
Are
made of cardboard
The border between
Being and nothingness
The border between
Being and nothingness
Is
erased
Fee Fie Foe Fum.
Fee Fie Foe Fum.
