hehe, it's not much, and it's not sticking yet because it's still hovering around 33 degrees F. though it is actually kinda nice, and rare for portland. i heard it's pretty spring-like in a lot of places on the east coast right now!
This grating sound is an excerpt from a study setup for an artwork : radioisotopes (sound installation / audio diffusion of the radioactive decay of alpha and beta particles, and gamma rays).
two license exempt radioisotope 1" standard disc sources (cobalt-60 gamma & strontium-90 beta)
homebuilt geiger-mueller tube pulse detectors for beta/gamma detection
olympus LS100 field recorder
5 minute mono excerpts taken from two separate long form mono recordings (3 hours each)
cobalt-60 recorded 3rd may 2013
strontium-90 recorded 4th may 2013
My excuse, besides being dropped on my head as a babe, is multiple head wounds that make my cranium look like a softly crushed boiled egg shell. Let's just say early onset dementia is a concern to my cognitive health.
(not skipping work, leaving, should have left a few hours ago. Going to go get a pint and read, ciao!)
(By age 21, I was knocked unconscious at least 24 times, since then, four times. Yes, I have cranial fractures) It took me by age 30 to be slightly more careful w/ sports/biking/hiking/walking/waking up/washing dishes/not getting mugged/etc
i fell off a tall frozen pile of dirt when i was 12. it was scooped out on one side so a sheer drop and landed directly on the middle of my head on a frozen solid dirt point at the bottom. i don't know if it made my brain any worse than it was destined to be, but might explain some of my neck trouble.
As long as my memory worked, and I didn't need stitches, my parents stopped taking me to the ER (whom I knew on a first-name basis). Think of the coolest sports injuries (mostly soccer/biking/hiking/climbing). Now think of the most boring mundane injuries. (tripping over a sheet, hitting me noggin on the fireplace, etc). I did all of the above
Yeah, I spilled water the floor, slipped backwards and tried to right myself only to hit my forehead against the cabinet. My wife found me on the floor. She didn't know whether to be alarmed or laugh. When I came to, I laughed, b/c what else can you do w/ that absurdity?
wear a helmet? (just kidding. i wouldn't do that any more than i'd not go hiking because i've had lyme disease) i've never been knocked unconscious. i've had many mishaps to. not my fate.
I hit my head on a plaster wall shortly before I started having brain fog ten years ago and have wondered if there was a connection, but since I had no concussion symptoms probably not. I think I was declining subtly before that, too.
I like the idea of a light-colored knee-high hiking sock with a thin sole utilizing the same 'barefoot technology' that some shoes have. You would get some of the benefits of walking barefoot while being able to easily spot ticks should they crawl on you. I like being barefoot outside but not in the woods.
@Mayuko, yeah it would be a crazy place to try to live but they were talking about using it as an instrument during the performance/installation. Not sure if there was an audience or not
melinda you're right of course. there are practical alternatives. i've had many ticks on me, and several in me. only 2-3 deer ticks though, as far as i know.

still b/p:
Arrived just in time for tick talk! No idea why I haven’t had more tick encounters with so many trips to ME and NH woods, living in s. coastal ME, taking trips every summer to Cape Cod to walk and bike where ticks and Lyme are significantly present and getting worse all the time. Very few ever on me, none in me for years, far as I know, while local friends have had multi instances. Dem tick don’ like me. But I never use repellent.
