The biggest arts event in Dayton got rained out. So I stayed inside and went to the beauty salon. I was safe and dry inside the Dayton Arcade. The Contemporary Dayton is exhibiting quilts by Carolyn Mazloomi, including one about Paul and Alice Dunbar. This artist wasn`t afraid to work outside today.

There`s more than red on a red-winged blackbird`s wing. A swallow will skim a pond -- or a prairie -- for insects. Finally I caught someone at home (see July 26, 2026). But nobody wants to stay home all the time. There were many orange flowers and black swallowtails.

This just appeared at my workplace. Maybe when a label appears, I`ll be able to tell you who painted it. And now, more abstract art in a RiverScape pool. To make up for the tornadoes, nature gave us perfection. You`ll always be popular with a bag of stale bread. This kayaker was doing all the hard work, but I had to stand extremely close to the water to get this picture.

I took The Flyer today for the first time since May. My commute was complicated by a crane in the street. Going nowhere. Idiot Driver of the Day, Sidewalk Edition -- and Surprised Pedestrian of the Day. The things I see from my desk! What grew from the coffee can (see June 23, 2026).

I have returned to the familiar curve, at least for one day (see November 18, 2004, and April 29, 2011). Ah the stories I could tell about this place. I returned to the Sinclair Center to make a presentation. Unto Thee, a clay sculpture by Sinclair fine art student Cameron Stewart. Each of those sprinkles is bursting with nutrients.

Flashback Unplugged at Curio on Courthouse Square. They seem to be demolishing it from the inside out. I was about a mile away, but I did my best. This is a good spot for pondering existence. How long before this garage gets demolished?
