H thanks-givings

November badge by Tracey Delaney

Helvetica!

I really really like clean, versatile, readable and reliable Helvetica and its cognates.

horses

as I noted in one of my commonplace books and on a blog during fall 2004:

  • brought to las americas in the mid-16th century by Spanish conquistadores
  • horses have that *ephemeral quality* -- horses have heart!
  • Nez Perce horse--stallions and ahkal-teke
  • 1995 Appaloosa mares: "a Palouse Horse"
  • Reykjavik, 5th gait--*TOLT* = slower, fast running walk
  • quarter horses from Virginia: 1/4 mile!
  • drafting=pulling
  • clear cutting--even age management, "skudder" and "wedge"
