the prompt/challenge for week 34 of the 52-week challenge was to take a photo inspired by the word 'mask'.
it occurred to me that i can also combine the shot for the album cover challenge. so...
band/artist: MENISCUS
album title: it is the same half
Meniscus is a curve in the upper surface of liquid contained in an object.
Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half. - Gore Vidal

thank you for your wonderful responses to last night's "fire alarm" post. i am a member of the office's joint health and safety committee so i am always mindful of these things and have been trained for eventualities such as fire in the building. fire alarms are almost always triggered accidentally, especially in office buildings. when living in a high rise, one must be mindful of where the exit stairwells are (that reminds me, i need to ask the management of this building where is the alternate floor cross-overs). at night, i always have a bucket full of water in my bathtub, and my towels and bedsheets are handy in the event i have to seal my front door should there be smoke or fire outside my unit. also, i have a king size bedsheet that i have designated as my "parachute", i.e., if i need to have to leave via my balcony, down another floor. no, i'm not going to actually use it as a parachute, but to tie it around the railing and then slide down to a couple of floors below. though it would be a pity if the fire would be in that part of the building. i wondered the other night how high the fire trucks' ladders can reach up. probably not up to the 22nd floor. morbid thoughts, but if you live in a high rise, you must think of these contingencies. frankly, i may not be able to remember them and just jump out the window in a panic. must remember to wear nice underwear.
Cool album cover! I don't worry about fire in my home- but I do have a plan should someone else's house catch on fire next to mine! It does not involve underwear- although I will be wearing it!
I wouldn't worry too much about the clean underwear. If you jump out the window, I doubt it'll be clean when you get where you're going to.
