"WHEN I SEE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO PUT MY WIRE, I CANNOT RESIST."

.
.
In a 1974 clandestine operation, Frenchman, Phillipe Petit, with the help of a few close friends, set up a tightrope (steel cable) in the cover of night between the very tops of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers (1,350 ft high). A little after daybreak, Phillipe walked out onto the wire where he spent more than an hour mesmerizing people as he playfully taunted the cops from the wire before finally choosing to complete his crossing to the other side:

The documentaty film, MAN ON A WIRE, is well worth seeing for the years of planning, training, friendships and committment that went into pulling it off... Especially when considering the challenge of secretly getting a 140 foot steel cable stretched between the Twin Towers with the hands of just a few men was an incredible feat in itself.

Cyrus Sutton recently built this wood knee plane. Word is, "it hauls in little hollow peelers."

TYLER'S PONY

.
.
My Hydrodynamica White Pony (#2) was on loan since last March with Tyler Warren and John Smart for as long as they needed it for the making of the TYLER WARREN EXPERIMENTS. I got it back last weekend. Tyler liked it so much he shaped one for himself. Below is a video of him riding the Pony he shaped. I think it's safe to say his works good enough that he won't be missing mine:

WAVE SELECTION

Not a lot of takers this morn'. I guess you know it's crap when the pelicans insist on flying high above the stink. An hour or more bobbing 'round in the mess and not a one did I see show even the slightest interest in descending to the sea.
