Tipping point
This morning I was laboring over a poem about President Bush, the gist of which was that his family purchased all the finest for him --- an ivy league education, a whole baseball team, a spot in the National Guard during a war, an oil company, the governorship of a big state, but....
They bought his soul at Walmart.
Wouldn't that make a rollicking chorus to a country western song? Unfortunately, I have neither the time nor the ear to set it to music, or even make it rhyme, for that matter.
Since the poem wasn't exactly flowing, I decided to give away the punch line (see above). Now I no longer feel obligated to make it into a piece of art, sweet relief
After my decision to toss the punch line, I found myself sifting through the archives for a fitting foto.
And what, pray tell, popped up? Yesterday's unattractive shot of a window with a chalked clickie underneath. I did not, as you can see, take the picture for anything other than informational purposes.
I decided to transmogrify the address onto my google bar, however, and just look at
what I found -- documentation of a tipping point, complete with inside story, thus ,renewing my spirit.
So much for Walmart souls.
Photo note: The Marimekko Store is back! The Marimekko Store is back! after forty years, and right around the corner from my office. It reminds me of my days at university when Scandanavian design was all the rage. This is their window.. The red bench belongs to the bus stop, but it's fabulous. I couldn't bring myself to lead with the other window picture.
Addendum: More uplifting news. Just think, we could kill two birds with one stone
Addendum:(not for the office or the feint of heart) alternative sweet relief)
