Don't say the F-Word!   October 14, 2023 I went to the West Tisbury Farmers Market on Martha's Vineyard. One tent was a place that sold hot sauces (Mimi's) and had a sign. Strictly speaking, the forbidden word on the sign was the plural form of my name, which is a competing brand of hot sauce, whose name must not be spoken there. But I felt it was more amusing to make it apply to even a single Frank. It didn't take long in Photoshop to fix that problem. I asked the owner if I could get a picture of the sign and she asserted that I had been there before, having had my picture taken while under the sign. Who am I to try to argue my way out of time loops. So I had my sister take the picture. The owner did suggest that perhaps I was just the second person named Frank to have a picture taken with the sign, but I think she was just trying to avoid creating a temporal paradox. File under the continuing category of "Frank Reacts to Signs." Full size image is here.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
