    very nice. I didn’t recognize what it was until I read the sub-title, and now that I know, I keep forgetting.

    Thanks fellas,

    -Michaell…your comment reminds me of Lawrence Weschler’s great book, Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees: A life of Contemporary Artist Robert Irwin, whose title draws on the famous insight of Paul Valery. In the book Weschler describes Irwin as a sort of zen master, ” relentlessly combining the ordinary and uncovering its hidden wonders.”p.202

    that’s the best view of a Texaco I’ve ever had.

    It’s the plank “Big Oil” is making us all walk at the moment, off the ship and into the sharky waters.
