The brick is photographed with the long continuous lines of grout running vertically. The image is displayed upside-down so the disappearing point for the grout is below the image.

Friends

I've come up with a sure fire way to determine who your friends are:

Piss off a lot of people in a big public way.

Something that doesn't attack them directly, but attacks one thing about something they're associated with.

Unfortunately I've discovered those people who I thought were friends are conditional friends -- i.e. friends when it suits them, but if it doesn't watch them backoff.

Now even if they criticize you but don't back off they're true friends.

I've gotta be more careful who I call a friend.

And to the nameless person mentioned in previous entries, no I didn't write this about you.
