Arizona has passed new legislation and enlisted average citizens to carry out a do-over of the Painted Desert, in light colors. Lawmakers claim it was the cherished dream of early settlers to someday return this famous landmark to what some call the 'original scheme.'

The octopi eyes see all
I see like an octopus
because I learned to draw.
"Do this" my instructor said
and bugged his eyes,
gaped his mouth.
So I did.
"No, like this!"
do I describe a rock?
It sits on the clean white linen. The table beneath is
round-topped, with thick curved legs that end in rolled, abstract
lion's paws. The table has leaves, but none are inserted. It is a

Last December I had an Incident. Like a stroke.
I am left with a permanent tremor, some stuttering, and end-of-day claw-my-skin-off anxiety attacks. Grimacing. Unless I take my meds.

UPDATE #3
So this morning I spent about 20 minutes scrolling thru this guy Jason's Twitter back to his first twit in 2008 I believe. My conclusion so far? he is for real, a nutty sort-of leftist who thinks this would be hilarious to do.
