Clerkmanifesto is going context free for 100 days!
While I retire from 31 years at the Roseville Library, sell nearly everything I own, fly with my darling wife to Japan for 40 days, and then move together to France to start to build a life there, I present a less explained clerkmanifesto, a clerkmanifesto of snapshots and time travel. Below you may see old posts without introduction from my 4,750 post collection. You may see random photos, brand new or years old. I may write a passage about Japan as if of course you know I'm in Japan, I may make a simple observation or joke, but whatever it is, I won't be explaining it. You'll have to take it as it comes.
For more context you are welcome to read this longer introduction.
And if this is all too confusing I welcome you to investigate our thousands of fully explained historic posts from the past 12 years, though I'll be the first to admit, hours later, you may still come away a little confused.
Here, however it works, is what clerkmanifesto has for you today:
I was telling you the other day about my old t-shirt designs, and I showed you a computer generated, cleaned up version of a dodo design from Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair. I also lamented the loss of the other shirts from my quarter century old set of hand painted book shirts, including one referencing Daniel Pinkwater's mostly forgotten classic: The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death.
I'd kind of like to read The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death again, now that I'm mentioning it.
But in the meantime I set about recreating my shirt.
I got it... generally correct. And I do like it, whether entirely accurate or not. I made half a dozen versions of my design, but as with that earlier dodo shirt, I'm going to just go with my favorite here:

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
