Bucket of Ashes: Pioneering Journalist’s Remains Take the Long Way Home from Queens Crematorium

Lisle Lester’s remains have been kept in a metal bucket at Fresh Pond since 1888.

In the 1800s, a journalist using the pen name Lisle Lester left her childhood home in Wisconsin and set off to create a life of adventure and travel typically unheard of for a woman at that time.  She launched the first magazine in Wisconsin, The Badger State Monthly, and later hired and organized the first […]

the blank page...

...belies the dense day
...day thick with the fog of worry
...worry having compounded over a life
...blessed with gifts and cursed with loss
...just like everyone else on this vale of tears.

a call goes unanswered...
a wish bends to the wind...
the wind blows my heart hither and yon...
until it sinks to where it must...
into a dream of falling, flying, rust.

     once upon a time a boy found his father
     when the man was at a loss what to do next
     and the universe quietly said: "pause– find: here."


[ Hung out at Mountain Lake in the Presidio at noon, after getting my Covid and flu shots at the SF Free Clinic this morning... ]

VPN providers and Cloudflare only have to make a reasonable effort to block pirate sports streams in France. That's the conclusion of two Paris court rulings that refused beIN Sports' request for penalties of €10,000 per day, per domain. Meanwhile, the Paris Court of Appeal put a separate VPN blocking appeal on hold until France's Supreme Court rules on DNS blocking.
