Charlie Webb   Midland  '52 - '55   quiet fit-in  misfit

VW bus  in his camp-ground  💙   the '80s

who's Wheeler?  our Midland comrade    later:

answer to a fellow Flickr guy:
You are very welcome  Kellee!
I happened to use a camera when there were relatively few of us
Now  we are many many
Flickr is a fine showplace to discover beauties
"the institutions" are sadly missing
I don't miss "the institutions" at all  but  the people in them!
My pleasure  Bill

Thanks again fa-sho! Happy I re-found them. (his pictures on Flickr)
This is the page for my personal faves 
which I edit and move around, over time-fun-consumption

we must confront our centuries old consciousness
white-supremacy   white-privilege   white-entitlement
slavery - the means to capitalism's 'success'

The thing about our BIO-CV-Résumé 'business'
​bad⇆good
+/- It is about speculations-​capitalism​-'culture'-time-place-chance
luck-color-gender-politics connections ​ and truckin'...
Unless we live 'in-common'
We would still have to KEEP ON TRUCKIN'... in our commonist towns!​

Re:  Bernie's J Street speak  I sent you
Hello Jewish Man (who invited me to talk over lunch)
I finally found a way to your responding
I have agreed to disagree with no-one I can recall🎭
That's probably because I never heard from them again
You are not no-one   so I just can't agree to ... bla bla  
&  I try very hard to do touchy-stuff  only with people I agree with
If I were Jewish  I'd probably say this n that
Too many dead and dying in your history  for me to do a lunch-over  
Bernie  Chomsky  Klein  Oz +  do happen to speak for me   
There's no missing talk talk 
I'm mostly sad  and amazed by all of us 
Thank you  that was good food  and didn't cost a cent
Bill Dane

an election process that brought out our best capitalist selves
Bernie would have won
this president talks an explosive adventure in values clarification
! will Folks get harmed beyond our capitalist 'norms' ?

Flickr chain de license-fun started w/this picture, "Oakland":

  • Yannick Benassi 
    Superbe cliché !
  • Bill Dane 
    I love cliche:
    "a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought.
    the old cliché “one man's meat is another man's poison.”
    synonyms: platitude, hackneyed phrase, commonplace, banality, old saying, maxim, truism, stock phrase, trite phrase, old chestnut ... "

     I don't like "shot" (cliché also means 'shot')
    étreinte
  •  I think Robbe-Grillet's Cliches were pretty original. Wait, his title was Instantanés. (Same difference: cliché instantané.) Love this photo for the pathos and the surprise the eye feels as it moves left to right. Prayer: what good is it unless it brings us in communion with the earth? And no safe place for a spirit like this one, who "cannot" be seen as spirit. Body. Slave. "Amusement." Stolen child. But the way the hand in contact seems to be asking, "Are you alright?"

    • William Keckler 
      Those are good times, good minds.
    • Bill Dane 
      the intensity-engagement of all (w/camera & joie) probably saved my head de fissures plus profondes
      alors Celexa est arrivé dans les années '90s
      The point being, You Head-Write Good, WK!
    • I love these events   but comprendre pourquoi - non
