Oh darn!   June 10, 2020 Two juggling beanbags I have were starting to develop tears in the fabric and one was startig to leak. They've lasted 15 years or more, but they're still pretty solid, and I have 4 other balls (beanbag balls) that show no signs of tearing. So I did some minor surgery on them. The one on the left had a tear going from the center to the right and was starting to leak. The one on the right had a tear starting from the center going out both the the right and the left. I engaged in a little Frankenstein's Monster darning, with the black thread going up and down and the white threat going side to side, somehwat woven between the others. It should hold the fabric together and form a mesh that'll keep the seeds (they're not beans) inside. I'm getting a bit closer in learning how to juggle 5 balls and I'd rather not stop now because I'll only have 4 viable juggling balls. So with luck this'll buy some extra life for them. They have been dropped many, many times.

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.
