Ah yes, the empty sameness of suburban America! Now that’s scary!
Hope y’all had a fun Halloween. I went as a fat, middle-aged curmudgeon/crazy cat lady. You?

Bastille Metro Station, October 2007, originally uploaded by Maggie Osterberg.
Just about 23:00 and the train is about to arrive at Bastille station. A coat becomes a spinnaker and a pedestrian a passenger.
Greetings From East Berlin

Greetings From East Berlin, originally uploaded by Maggie Osterberg.
A fascinating city, a bit down on its heels, but nonetheless still vital and kicking. While I was there it kind of felt like a shithole- I’ve never been in a city that has more graffiti, but instead of feeling dangerous (like 1970’s NYC), it felt young and restless.
I’ve since discovered that it’s considered THE place to be if you’re a European artist. Cheap rent and a bit of the Tulip Fever are combining to Berlin a place where artist can both afford to live and have people lining up to buy their work.
Here ist Berlin (my photoset of Berlin images)
It only hurts when I look.

What’s the most painful part of any oral procedure? Getting the painkiller, of course!
Dad’s had an extraction site that won’t stop bleeding, but late this Saturday, after it started bleeding again, we met an oral surgeon at his office and he get dad fixed up in under a half-hour. I now know what a “collagen plug” is!

Hey, it’s what she evolved to do. She’s good at it, too, on those rare occasions when she gets to exercise that muscle.

Get after it, Bob!, originally uploaded by Maggie Osterberg.
After a diabetes scare that sent Bob to the emergency vet, he’s back, getting treatment and dancing with glee. It’s good to see him healthy again!

Like hope for the future, it just blows away into nothingness and despair.

Scooter, a cat, at home in Lincoln, NE, originally uploaded by Maggie Osterberg.
Yeah, I’m back in Nebraska and even the cat is taunting me. I know that a post-travel malaise is normal, but I don’t have to, um, like it. Anyways, I’ll probably still post pix from Europe; I keep running across ones I don’t even remember taking!
