Just one of those days when the blue meanies strike and you either fight back or give in and see where they take you.

What is this?

On August 5, 2010 By Fred KingIn ArtLeave a comment

In New Haven, Ct., a sculpture placed downtown between some buildings. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean or represent. Any ideas? Painting it International Orange may be a clue?

Rain barrel, moss, webbed-feet and sun screen ( for those 10 rare days of sun we experience  annually) a rain barrel affixed to a downspout is becoming more common in the NW. This one was manufactured by The Rain Barrel Man of NE Portland.

About Me

Currently 74 years old, cancer survivor  living in Seattle, WA. Enjoy both photography and music.

Update: 6 Sept 2023: Cancer has returned. Probably will start directed radiation treatment at the end of October.

Update: 24 Sept 2024: After two 15 round sessions of SBRT I am now undergoing chemotherapy. After chemo, A PET scan will assess where I am. After the scan I will be minimally doing a year of immunotherapy -beginning November, 2024. Update: 8 March 2025-Finished 3rd immunotherapy ( Imfinzi- a checkpoint inhibitor) and fourth is on 11 March 2015. Another PET SCAN scheduled for 18 March 2025.

Update Sept. 2025: Scans from a couple of weeks ago look positive. However, Oncologist has changed the original plan from one year of immunotherapy to continuing “indefinitely”, as he feels, due to my history with cancer, that if stopped it would come back.

 

Selfie: 2016 at the Cliffs of Moher and from March of 2025. Nearly ten years apart.
