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:
We have been stripping our lives down to bare essentials, hoping, possibly unreasonably, to get all our belongings into two suitcases, but certainly no more than three, and all the carry on bags we're allowed. The estate sale people are coming tomorrow and the sale is in five days, or, in your timeline, two and a half weeks ago. The main point in telling you all of this, is that I am pulling out a lot of images from my history as I go through everything I own, many of them are from long before clerkmanifesto.
Today's pictures aren't that old though, and come off some old backup drive, and probably appeared here in some form or other. But I have some nice tools to make them work better these days, sometimes even how I originally imagined, but had no way of doing back then. And then some of these were probably nice photos I experimented on like a mad scientist years ago, and then now, accomplished as I am, I could come and simply wave a magic wand to make them whole again.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the assortment. There's more where this came from:

Post a Comment
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.
