Hopping a plane to Denmark in a few hours, where I’ll be until late Monday. (komiks.dk)
I’ll be on plain-text email only, so don’t email me images or links until next week, eh? Thanks.
Have a good weekend, all. I’ll check in when I can.

Bomb squad officers examined the packages had been found by members of the public in Shepherd’s Bush and Hammersmith on Wednesday morning.
Detectives said a woman later walked into a police station claiming to have placed the items as works of art.
The 36-year-old from Shepherd’s Bush has been arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance.
Some of the packages were cardboard boxes containing soft toys and training shoes with nails sticking out of them. One, in Charecroft Way, Shepherd’s Bush, consisted of three cardboard tubes supporting a polystyrene “altar” on which stood some flowers and a note which talked about the loss of a “Pelagius”.
It read: “Your absence has gone through us like thread through a needle. Everything we do is stitched with its colour…”

“I would be willing to reconsider out decision if Colombia and Peru reconsider their free trade agreements with the United States,” Chavez told a news conference after receiving a letter from Bolivian President Evo Morales, who asked him to reconsider his stance.
Last week, Chavez said that Venezuela would leave CAN, saying that it had been fatally wounded by the Colombian and Peruvian free trade agreements with Washington.
If a member of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur) were to sign a free trade deal with the United States with similar terms, that organization would be dead too, the president added. Fortunately, Mercosur members have no such plans, Chavez said.
Venezuela has also been moving to become a full member of Mercosur, which includes Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay…
(I found this interesting. I think Chavez is more than a little crazy, but neither he nor anti-US sentiment in South America should be ignored. After all, he isn’t the only “socialist”, anti-US leader over there.)

A family heirloom is not going over well with police.
The mummified body of a baby kept by a Concord, N.H., family has drawn attention from investigators. The current keeper of the baby, Charles Peavey, said the tiny mummy has been passed down in his family for many years.
Concord police recently got word of the remains and they took them in for testing. A forensic anthropologist will examine the tiny corpse.
Peavey said the mummy belonged to his great-great uncle, who was born in Ashland in 1850. The family estimated that the mummy is 90 years old. It was discovered among the uncle’s possessions in 1947 in Manchester, N.H…

Zoetica Ebb, shot by Vladimir Perlovich: this, too, plays right into images I’m trying to devise for another new project (put into my head by shots of Pygmy Wife in her flight hat a few weeks back, and a repeat viewing of Guy Maddin’s HEART OF THE WORLD).

Die Puny Humans: a community I’ve created to track outbreaks of the future. In news and developments in science and the arts, the new machinery of the internet, magic and philosophy, we get hints of our possible futures. Some of this mess of novelty will coalesce into a world we end up living in. I like the idea of getting previews; of tracking these storms as they come up over the horizon towards us.
Set up an account and you’re automatically admitted to the futurismic bowels of the Monkey.
