I was invited out to Steamboat Island by Frank and Birdie, to take part in a crystal bowl-toning thing that was part of the huge number of ceremonies today that are an attempt to help energise and balance the earth. So -- the bowls range from salad for 6 to jumbo-rrific size. They resonate in different keys, and are played in a way that is like extracting sound by running your finger around the rim of a wineglass. Some bowls use covered wood and others rubber-ballish instruments that are first bonged on the side, then used to go around and around the outside of the bowl. The sound is quite beautiful. I was out there for 3 hours and came home exhausted. I took some deer pictures because three deer were just standing there -- however I see deer all the time so it wasn't unusual.

Before I left I talked to Psi and found out he wants to have a store in There. I said he could sell my things, and if we can work it out so that it's amenable to both of us, we'll do that. I said I'd front him $12,000T (6 bucks) to help him get going. My interest is in getting my design out where it can be seen. I sold one, however, today! Yay! That's 1200T in, after I spent 8,000T to submit. It would be nice to break even!

I set up a psychiatrist booth at Tiki Cove last night for humor's sake, and my first customer paid me 300T for fun. I could see the sea parting -- people interested in humor sat and stayed, the others fled. My first customer had to be told "Scram!" by me or I'd still be there. Psi was amazed that I'd made 300T (me too!). It was just an impulse in an idle moment.
