Wanted: Antlers
Posted to the Dubuque Freecycle list:
If anyone is going hunting, and has antlers that aren’t of ‘keeping’ size, I would greatly appreciate them. Deer, Elk, etc. Its the only thing that keeps the puppy from destroying the house with his teething.
thank you

The Art of Not Drowning
We see a beautiful woman, with lush red hair, floating effortlessly, gazing ahead in an attitude of easeful melancholy. The airline artist has recruited Dante Rossetti’s 1877 Mary Magdalene, with perhaps an ironic nod to Botticelli’s Venus, as the heroine of our worst-case scenario. Thus the “fallen woman” motif is reimagined in the most urgent terms: this airline Magdalene is a woman who has quite literally fallen. And this is where we find her, floating in limbo, clutching a lily-white life preserver to her breast (instead of a vase, as in the 1877 portrait). Like Rossetti’s romantic Pre-Raphaelite Magdalene, this woman’s lowly state serves only to magnify her elemental beauty. Here she is, Our Lady of the Plane Crash. “I will make you fishers of men,” says the Christ. “We will rescue you in any corner of the globe,” says a Pan Am safety card. The fallen woman will not remain cast away forever—and, if we follow her lead, the artist assures us, neither will we. It is a pretty vision of earthly salvation.

Just to be clear, this comment was intended as a response to “Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing is the best thing since gravity”. Just so everyone’s clear: Gravity < Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing. That is all.

I started building a diningroom/work- table over the weekend. Tomorrow I’ll start sanding and finishing. Here are the various pieces — not necessarily in order — and obviously upside down.
Life in a Day
Any of you watched Life in a Day? I watched it this afternoon as part of my Funemployment. I liked it, put together by many, “directed” by the Scott brothers (Ridley and Tony). I’d like to see other directors take the 4,500 hours of video submitted and do their own take. A sort of “Aristocrats” for directors.
I put a post up before it happened. I didn’t see anyone familiar in the film.

I often say that we, as Americans, have a terrible historical memory.
This isn’t to say there aren’t valid critiques of the American capitalistic system, and this cartoon has that 1940s naïve idealism, but we are all smart enough to know what the deal with bathwater is.
