Dream

I dreamed that I was hallucinating cats. One was a white short-hair tomcat with thin black stripes, standing on the livingroom table. A tiny fluffy grey & tan calico kitten with deep blue eyes crouched in the kitchen, next to Ruthie's food bowls. "I've got to go to sleep," I told Mary. "I'm hallucinating cats!"

Bruce in the new helmet. Well, old helmet, really. Just reworked a bit -- primer, paint, silicone, and I made a crochet lining for it. Much more comfortable than before.

I'd love to see these pieces cleaned up, maybe coldworked. How stable are they?
