Observations through the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes recently discovered an inhabited mirror planet of Earth in the Pinwheel Galaxy, also known as Messier 101.

All the cops are super groovy there, no sirens, no tude, no tickets...

"Is there a problem officer?"
"No problem at all... just zebra stripe chillin', buddy. Have a good one."

FUNCH BREAK

.
Fun lunch time corners.
.

.
Not the biggest spot today, but can't complain when you're trunking it on a quick midday break from work with just a few others.

FIRST QUAKE ETIQUETTE

.
Pre-Work A.M. Session: The 40-something dude shoulder-hopped without the slightest glance to his inside even after repeated hoots. After the wave, 40-something dude with furrowed brow says, "You have a problem with me?!" It all made perfect sense when later in the session he could be heard telling someone, "Yesterday was my first earthquake."

VALENCE LEVELS

.
Something in the air today, a certain quality of light, midday painted clouds...

.
...and pumping South lines in the water... buzzing.

WEEKEND BATTLE AXE

.
Though it will leave you feelin' giddy, make no mistake...
..
...the White Pony is not child's play.
.

SHORT x THICK x WIDE x FAST x LOOSE

.
Like Casper, the White Pony is a Richard Kenvin design idea inspired by Bob Simmons. I got a chance to ride the first White Pony at AB3 last March and soon after put an order in with Kenvin/Swift Movement. White Pony #2, shown here, was shaped by Joe Bauguess.
.
Really fast, lots of glide, and responsive.
.



.
White Pony #2: 4'11". Though slightly thinner foam volume and shorter fin base, it's for the most part a replicate of Kenvin's original.
