1. These are great, alfredo!

But I'm especially glad to hear that you were out and about because you felt good enough!

[alfredo]

3. It was a bad case of cabin fever

Thanks.

[NV Whino]

2. Nothing like good graffiti to make you feel better

I'm happy to hear you are up and about.

[alfredo]

4. We have a robust street artist community.

It feels good to have a bit of independence

[elleng]

5. GREAT you felt so good!

[alfredo]

8. Thanks. Not good, better. ;)

[elleng]

12. Yes.

Better is better.

[alfredo]

14. No matter how you cut it, better is better.

6. I like'em.

[alfredo]

9. Thanks

[Solly Mack]

11. I want to walk through the opening in the first one.

I know the entrance is magical.

[alfredo]

13. Glad you saw the magic too.

[Solly Mack]

15. I have a thing for doorways.

[alfredo]

16. Doorways offer danger and opportunity.

[Solly Mack]

17. It's the wild child in me.

[alfredo]

18. Since getting my Zoloft, I've become a mild child.

[Solly Mack]

19. Only mild around the edges.

[alfredo]

22. My fear was that Zoloft would suppress my creativity.

It may have at first, but the drive to create reemerged.

[Solly Mack]

23. You found your balance.

[alfredo]

24. But the Fehtanyl too it away 😄

[Solly Mack]

25. Heh!

That will do it.

[alfredo]

26. I have about 5 days left. I will see if I can ride without training wheels.

I have some liquid oxycodone. I tried it once, but didn't like it.

[Solly Mack]

27. I don't like pain meds that cause me to feel out of control of my own mind.

Not all do but some, like morphine, leave me feeling too out of touch.

[alfredo]

28. Same here. That's why I stayed away from LSD.

[Solly Mack]

29. Good call.

[alfredo]

30. The last trip was so good, decided that I didn't need it anymore.

I went to a concert featuring King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra, with Zappa at the top of the bill.

I never liked how it over stayed it's welcome, and the feeling of having no control when things turned dark.

So that night I decided to get out while the gettings good

[Solly Mack]

31. Always good to know when that is

Sweet concert!

[alfredo]

32. Yeah. I've been to 3 Zappa concerts.

Each one incredible.

[Mira]

7. Grand

especially the last one. The only thing I like better than street art is excellent photographs of it like yours.

[alfredo]

10. Thanks. I processed the last one with a red filter to darken the sky.

20. I am fascinated with street art-graffiti

Glad to hear you are feeling better.

I really like the composition of the second one, the weeds growing up, the contrast of colors.

Nice!

[alfredo]

21. Thanks. I like how the artist respect the art of others.

I see very few instances of defacing another's art.
