Pretty good band and nifty video with ‘Lucifer Rising’ footage.
Osaka Mayor tells employees to remove tattoos or find another job
We reported earlier on how a Japanese government surveyed employees about their tattoos, and now we are sad to say that those surveys and now being used to give employees the pink slip. The Guardian is reporting that the Mayor of Osaka is moving to require all public employees have tattoos removed, or leave their job – even if it is small and in a place where it is fully covered.

Some people make sausages
Yesterday my father in law and I made sausages out of…I think 20lb of meat? It was a lot of sausage to grind and stuff into the casings! Unfortunately, I couldn’t take any photos of the actual process, because we were both ‘engaged’ with the meat and didn’t have a hand free.
Hiking Metal Punks
One of the great perks about the Northwest is that there are millions of beautiful hiking trails. Last Sunday I went out for a hike near North Bend. The first plan was to go to Mount Si, but there were so many people that there was not parking space left. So we went up an older road until we got to a closed logging road and went up there. The hike was great and there were almost no people, which made it even more fun. I really hate it when you are hiking, busy being at one with nature, and then you see a bright red technical parka somewhere in the distance. Fucking spoils it all.
It was also pushing the limits of the camera in my iPod — I’m a little bummed that the photos didn’t come out crisper and with more detail, because they barely do justice to how great and vibrant the vegetation looked. It’s really time to get a new camera…
