It is Unwordless because I am using words.
It reflects the WW theme because there's a picture.

I used to want one of these so bad. When I was nineteen I dreamed of little old sports cars and barely noticed the female pulchritude surrounding me when I went to bookstores near UC Berkeley. Of course, I noticed it somewhat. But having no clue I put it all out of mind and concentrated on weird writing projects and little old sports cars.
Still want one, sort of. Couldn't help taking a picture yesterday outside the dentist's office. But the hassle of obtaining and owning one doesn't add up.
Neither does going to work the two weeks before Burning Man. This is because I am not a list-maker. Lists help you organize thoughts and put off action until it can be taken efficiently. My way of life however is to think of something and either obsess over it until it is done, or get distracted by something else and forget about it. When I do make lists, I hit a sweat-inducing intolerance for organizing my thoughts rather before the list is complete, and then go about taking care of things that occur to me rather than what's on the list.
So on the way to work this morning I went to Home Depot. This was inspired by an email from gekko about dust masks. I figured if I was going to have any dust masks I had better get them now. So I went and got those, and some head lamps (invaluable when shit breaks on a dark night), and some battery-powered light sticks, and some eye hooks and carabiners and lengths of chain, and a replacement trailer hitch (for my ex cause I took the one we had), and realized I needed to get to work, and then while in line thought of blades for my jig saw but didn't offhand know what size would fit, so I guess I'll be going back. Probably need some spray paint anyway.
Meanwhile, yes, I do have a list in my phone, but nothing I got was on it, and I keep thinking of more stuff to worry about. I shouldn't have read last night about bad storms and the current weather ...
Over a 100 degrees everyday by 3pm. At 7-8pm for the last 3 nights we have had 60+ mph winds with dust whiteout. The playa is getting scrubbed by these high winds. We lost 2 roof so far from the Temple camp kitchen/camp area. We are running out of 40x50' tarps !!!!! Be prepared - all the town locals & old burners say this is one of the highest wind years. We expect continued storms for the next 2 nights. We had a 20' tall 50x50' structure demolised last night & it was just substructure of 2x8" wood - ripped off the foundation. Not enough cross bracing yet - uugh.

Just channel the Long Range Desert Group and you'll be fine. Don't forget your Thompson, Webley, and Fairbairn Sykes.
I'm thinking we should add "camels" to the lists.
