with one week to get it over the line -
into the forest to dig up some tiles and into a barely legal automobile that youve been driving for years , this time east back to austria with material to build a bar to serve breakfast - an american bar - an architectural foley , or however you spell it , doing for the sake of being done , liberation through action , chance and god's grace and coffee and schnaps , and now it's being brought back to paris and im not sure what we will do with but its important to remember the most important thing to do is have fun , work with what you got and what is around you , if you need help dont be afraid to reach out and ask you neighbor and dont be upset if their busy - there is plenty going on here and best work to keep it up - the cooking and cleaning and building and fixin , all that and the lords work . may her will be done on heaven as it is on earth
