Bonsai Workshop

Coming up on Saturday will be this month's bonsai workshop.  Since early summer, the Albuquerque Bonsai Club has been holding virtual workshops via Zoom.  John Egert leads the shenanigans from the safety of his domicile in Socorro.  Here's his latest announcement of the upcoming event.

Onward, you Botanical Blowhards!!!! This Saturday AM @ 10.00 we shall, once again, make an attempt to figure out what the hell it is that we're trying to do. If all goes as planned, we will have moved into the garage and will grind wood to our heart's content without fear of sucking sawdust into the mighty Big Bruticus the Mega Computer, which runs the life functions of my beloved son. WHICH REMINDS ME, which evil roach among you derided my technical abilities with the statement "You couldn't even watch TV if it weren't for George"???? You geeks have always been treacherous, but this is a new low..... and as soon as Geo sets up my new Firestick and spends a couple of days showing me how to use the controller, I'm going to watch The Mickey Mouse Club 24 hours a day, and to hell with bonsai!!

Which in turn reminds me, there will be a profoundly sad moment on Sat. as Bob the Impaler mourns the humiliating loss of his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers to the dog-ass Cleveland Browns in the Midwest White Trash Bowl.

But, you say, what has this gibberish to do with the Art of Bonsai??? What indeed??? Our trees are fast asleep, and so also should we be. But we need them to carry our thoughts and hopes now as events try to overwhelm us. We will again lose ourselves in them for a couple of hours on Saturday as the world burns around us, recharging our spirits for another grim run at reality.....

Dr. Sara!!! Help me!! I am slipping away into GooGoo Land!! Thank God we have the Fighting Psychologist as our leader!!! We'll ALL need shock treatments before this gig is over.....

Saturday at 10:00!!

And here's the actual event, now moved from the Egert's living room to their garage where power tools (and resulting sawdust) don't endanger George's computer.
