 graffiti in krakow, poland – foto by smith 2 studies (swedish 2005, great britain 2008) finally admit what we suspect – cell fones can cause brain tumors. england says using a cell fone 10 years doubles your risk of brain cancer. the study predicts cell fones will kill more people yearly than smoking does now (cigarettes officially kill five million people a year globally) because three times as many folk use cell fones as smoke. sweden points out rural cell fone users have an 8 times greater chance of a malignant tumor than non-cell fone users, because they have to up the fone’s power to get the signal to the tower and blast your brain with even more toxic no-nos. germany and france have warned against letting children use them. nothing will change though because money’s being made. we’re used to corporate products killing their customers. the tobacco industry kills off its customers right and left and then replaces them by recruiting from the grade schools. alcohols and guns both kill customers and non-customers alike. as do automobiles, fast food, elective surgery, politicians, and TV. TV at first just numbs then kills the brain, but the body continues on unknowing. this is where a lot of republicans and the religious wrong come from. i’m not a fan of cell fones. they’re frequently rude intrusions, insensitive or arrogantly aired dirty laundry in public. i won’t be missing a lot of the soon-to-be departed. the true evil is cell fone radiation is one of the things driving our missing honey bees crazy. they get lost, jammed, overwhelmed, weary, and forget the where and why of their hive. we might have to fit each little buzzing bee with a tiny GPS device to help them find their way back home to the hive. or else hire manual laborers to start pollinating fruits, grains and flowers with q-tips. hey, maybe i can rent my penis out as well – it’s small enough to do bumble bees, pollinate plant pistils, and wouldn’t embarrass the stamen.  erect banana food store advert, oaxaca, mexico – foto by smith |
That bottom ad made me laugh out loud, even though I’m not awake yet.
(I guess it’s a good thing I can’t hear on a cell…)
Now that Criminal is under wraps, I hope you and Lady will consider publishing a book featuring your fascinating graffiti photos. You could focus on Mexico or go worldwide. The stuff you put up here at WTI almost every day is amazing and makes the point that there is a ton of creativity just under the surface.

got a lot of plans.
think lady should do a foto book, or maybe even the two of us.
when we get Criminal published, we’re going to use it to push for a book of her poetry, a book of mine, and a book of our collabs.
she’s also turning a lot of our conversations into comic strips, which would make a fine book.
she’s also getting back to her fictionalized non-fiction past called Fat Girl.
and we both think there’s got to be a book or 2 in our 1,000 blogs.
plus i still have to write my novel i’ve been pondering 31 years.
and there’s got to be more.

that bottom ad – when i saw it in the supermarket i laughed out loud seeing a man pushing his erect banana penis beneath eve with her evil apple.
me: got a lot of plans.
stever: Now that the social security mess appears to be cleared up and money is coming in, you’ll have more peace of mind to re-focus on those kind of creative projects. In the old days you when you were working for the lawyers, that sucked your energy, but now that you are settled in a place that you seem to really like, with a lady you really love, there are considerably fewer obstacles in your path, so you can do what you care about and forget the rest. Lord knows, you’ve earned that position in life.
me: true . . . life was always supposed to be a learning, apprenticeship process where it keeps getting better, and it sort of seems true for me. it is true the lawyers were serious soul suckers.
