Message on the back of this photo from my grandpa L. Ray Jessen, circa 1918-1919: "Here you will see me somewhere in France with a bunch of French men". Message from me to Frenchmen: I'll take either guy on the far right, that building behind you has got to be abandoned, I'll only need ten minutes.

I'm watching Star Trek TNG season 1 for the first time, and I have some thoughts, none of them urgent. But I have a road report, which is that I have passed a very special milestone. I have just watched the episode that will now and forever be called HEY KIDS, DON'T DO DRUGS

I wonder if the family at the corner of Richland St. and Winchester Ave. in Nevada, Iowa has erected a monument convenient to a parking lot that functions as the ceremonial Center of Iowa, or if they have to accompany all foreign dignitaries to the true geographic Center of Iowa in the middle of their spinach field

Scanning photos from Dad's Mom's laundry trunk. Beyond belief. Look at this thing. No date, no notes, just a vague notion that the two seated at left may be Mary Hill & John and maybe they eloped because she had money & he didn't? (a fact written on a scrap of paper somewhere else in the trunk). "Ask the Dust", Faulkner said. "Um, hi dust, quick question, was there only one John Jessen or did I miscount?" "Why can't you just buy a new video game every month like everyone else," says the dust

Biked over to my neighborhood Big Boy to visit the David Lynch shrine. Pretty great. Warning: this is not an environment conducive to earnest meditation (unless you like to reflect on our Great American Surrealist Auteur to the sounds of car alarms, the wrong music on a boom box, and a speaker squawking "MARK PARTY OF SEVEN YOUR TABLE IS READY"). I did leave an offering, a VHS tape in a blank envelope, because I like to remember things MY WAY. #LostHighway

I like to think that if the value of the Avogadro constant were known and if it had been named after Avogadro during his lifetime, he would have paraded the streets of Turin with a sign saying "6.022 times 10 to the 23rd" shouting "Yeah, that's 23 zeroes, bitches"

If you want to telescope the hearbreak of being an archivist into one post, this is it. On Sunday the fifth I went to the opening of Mary Anna Pomonis' new show, "Quiver", at Alto Beta Gallery. The art was geometric and airbrushy and really satisfying. On Wednesday the eighth the gallery and all the art burned up. I spend all my spare time rescuing the past; now suddenly I find that I document a thing and before I can even post the results to social media, it's already history.
