Es ist Phil, Bauarbeiter. Ich sehe hin um das Gebäude ab und zu. In diese Gebäude arbeiten Spielzeugeisenbahnhersteller, Wresting Trainer für Kindern, Klavierrestauratoren und Fahrradmechaniker. Jetzt baut er die Eingangfußweg um aus Konkret. Er macht das ganz alleine. Diese Szene sehen wir recht viel. Vielleicht laufen wir einfach schnell daran vorbei. Er ist auch an die Ignoranz der Menschen gewöhnt. Aber Er arbeitet immer fleißig und konzentriert, egal was die leute denken. Ein Mensch kann viele Geld haben oder gar nicht reich. Wir sollen hart arbeiten und den anderen Menschen helfen, wie er. Ich unterhalte mich mit Phil immer, wenn wir uns treffen. Ich bin stolz auf ihn, sehr sehr.

About this time last year, I went to tune a family upright piano in a near by town. It was on a Saturday. The whole family was home, the parents and two small children.

According to them, the piano had not been tuned since who knew when. Usually this meant a humongous amout of dust bunnies under the keys and in the piano case. So I decided to take out all the keys and have the keybed cleaned. 

Seifhennersdorf is a small town in middle-east Germany. Everything is almost within walking distance. Here the chubby fluffy sheep eat freely without worrying about being taken by strangers. Here apple trees grow along the delightful little streets and they fall on the ground whenever they feel like it. Here houses are built per tradition without even one that looks not belong.

Gypsy moths and their caterpillars eat and kill plantations. Often in springs, those spongy moth nests appear on plants, especially on trees. The caterpillars inside feast on the beautiful greens till the plant is killed. Here is an article about it:

There is one little tree in the barrier in between the lanes on route 128. It is a little over one meter tall. Early in the spring, it was covered with those spongy moth nests. It was very scary to look at. 

John Cameron is a very fine woodworker. He designs and makes artisan furniture, wood and metal engraving, boat building, etc. Soon, one of his works will be exhibited at Smithsonian Institute this summer. He is also a passionate Jazz pianist who plays gigs all around town. Some years ago, a friend of his was throwing out an old beat up Baldwin grand piano. Somehow he was informed and took this piano. Now Miss Baldwin sits happily in his woodworking shop getting exercises/PT  every day. Good for her ol' joints.
