Shop door illuminated by sunset last night

Cow skull on left from Canyon San Bernardo, near the town of Miraflores in Baja California Sur, 1988; 16" horns. The skull at right is from a horse I found near Diana's Punch Bowl hot springs, which is south of Austin and Highway 50 in Nevada. On the shelf in front of the shop window is my growing collection of skulls. The latest two are a bobcat and a fox. I've learned how render the skulls (if fresh), then bleach them in hydrogen peroxide. Each one is so beautifully constructed, with unbelievable joinery of skull plates on top, and each one is so different from those of other species.

Why I love the web... Old headline "Alternative high school to close" and I thought, haven't checked Lloyd's blog lately. Abalone on the wall made me think of Charlie Nye. There's a picture here...

Wander her website to find a treasure trove of info on Central Cal's "not so lost coast" and eventually you'll find out who owns that awesome old Flxible named Outstanding.
