Some #music to raise your spirits and tap you toes.
Annette #Hanshaw was one of the great singers of the 1920s. You've heard her music if you've watched the film "Sita Sings the Blues".Here's a good sample of her music from archive.org:

A mosquito, gathering a blood meal from a knuckle of the hand that wasn't holding the camera. I admire her white tufts and bristly antennae.

I like all flies, but some are less favorite than others. Here's a perfectly adequate treehole mosquito on my hand.

A japanese beetle practicing ballet moves. (Why do they lift their legs like this?)

Regarding all this news I keep hearing about a "no-fly list": Why would anyone want no flies? I mean, just look at this beautiful calligrapher. Wouldn't your life be a little brighter if it were perched on your finger?

A dusky-winged hover #fly (Ocyptamus fuscipennis) for #InverteFest . This is the only one of these I've ever seen. He's a beautiful little jewel.

A beautiful little calligrapher. These are some of my favorite #flies. They'll perch on my hand and ride around.

Speaking of #goldkey , I waited eagerly for every issue of "Turok, Son of Stone" and "Magnus, Robot Fighter". -
Did she or didn't she? She's not telling.

I spend a couple of hours a day commuting, and I spend a lot of that time listening to #OldTimeRadio. If you'd like to hear a scary story before bedtime, here's a classic from Wyllis Cooper's series "Quiet Please", featuring the inimitable Ernest Chappell as the narrator. The story is "The Thing on the Fourble Board". Just listen to it:

Two other #AnneTyler books that stand out in my mind:
"Noah's Compass"
"Digging to America" -
I'd have to say "Clock Dance", by #AnneTyler. Really, the same goes for any of her books. By the end of the book you've come to know and (at least) sympathize with the characters, and you're sad you'll never see them again.

Yesterday I read "It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth" by Zoe #Thorogood. It's a terrific piece of autobiography. She never stops questioning her honesty and digging deep into her motives. I don't remember who said that autobiography is the highest form of fiction, but it's tempting to spin your life into a simple, satisfying story. I like that she works very hard to avoid that, and leaves in all the open-ended complications.

I've been trying to understand TPM and all the baroque machinations necessary to securely boot a computer from an encrypted disk, and it made me think about how much time and effort we expend solely to protect ourselves from Bad People.
Whole layers of complexity in software could be done away with, whole industries would become superfluous, if we could just trust each other.
I know that's just the way things are, but it seems such a waste.

A Tiger Bee Fly (Xenox tigrinus) peeps in to see what I'm doing. As I was photographing her, I could see her antennae swiveling around, sniffing me.
