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:
Not to belabor the point...
Wait!
To belabor the point, as you read this my darling wife and I have long gone from Minnesota (assuming all has gone normally) and will now have almost been in Japan for two weeks. But as I write I am filling clerkmanifesto in well ahead of time. We still live in our mostly empty apartment. I am retired (no library strories today!). And we even sold our car this morning. And since I have been showing pictures taken out our apartment window (of birds lately), today I was inspired to take a few more pictures, or make them.
I got carried away.
I don't even know what to do with all these pictures. I think I have about 30 or forty of them in various versions. I have been rereading the incredibly enjoyable Andy Weir novel "Hail Mary". So it is possible that planted in my mind the desire to photograph an alien visitation.
These are alien visitation pictures.
We'll start with this robust selection of the scene captured out my window and a couple more from our walk into town.

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.
