The Mystery of Batiment 2017

In the fields to the west of the ATLAS surface halls
There sits Building 2017.

CERN denies its existence.

But if 2017 doesn't exist, then who is its TSO,
and what kind of ghost answers that GSM?
And are there other rooms or floors?
Don't let this die. You never know, it might be a big deal.

occasionally glorious swiss weather

On such days, this is handily the best commute of my life.

Even the view from the kitchen windows can be breathtaking.

And on cold nights with a strong Biese (spelling?),
if you're patient with the exposure,
on a path through a field by a busy road,

I'm thinking of painting the other one to match

Eyes are neat. I've been reading all about black eyes. Too bad it changes so fast.

|......----++***^^*^***----_............|


I stopped working to watch this. So very worth it.

and then

The night shots of CERN's gigantic luminous clitoris took some long exposure times. I accidentally surprised another cyclist who was afraid that I had wiped out, with my bike laying on the ground (no kickstand), my stuff spread out everywhere. Probably freaked her out even more that I was apparently so calm and even happy. We ended up talking about the comet near Perseus that night. Maybe she meant the Perseid showers?

Breakfast art, religion amidst science, and a first snow for the Jura

Not only did I not cry over spilled blood orange juice,
I kinda liked it.
The book is an annual poetry review (with art and short fiction)
published from the Netherlands by my high school friend Megan Garr.
wordsinhere.comBetween the LHC building and its twin,
Vishnu dances the world through creation and destruction.
There are some heavy-handed words nearby
about vibrations, existence, and physics.
I like it anyway.

Doing my part for No-Shave November.
It's Geneva/CERN vs. Pasadena/CalTech this year.

I watched the last of this snow being deposited on the Jura.

These little mountains look much taller with their hats on for the winter.Sure makes for a pretty commute.
