dosage mile ronnie #1621


Being an artist isn't just about making nice things, 
or people patting you on the back; 
it's some kind of communication, a message.   Tracey Emin


Coming down off the anniversary, take heed!

FYI-  check the head shape for future behavior.



Christo’s latest project, an awe-inspiring installation in an industrial relic in Germany, looks more like a captured dirigible than much of the previous fabric-based work he’s created with his late wife Jeanne-Claude. In fact, a balloon-building company was involved in engineering the “Big Air Package,” a towering installation recently constructed in the Gasometer in Oberhausen.



Wolf Sanctuary Howl.  We used to have a cabin up near Algonquin Park and every summer they would have a wolf howl tour.  We would be sworn to silence, not even whispering or slammed car doors, all drive off in a caravan and park on a remote road late in the evening.  We would roll down our windows or sit outside in complete silence and bitch blackness except for the stars.  Pretty soon off in the distance we would start to hear the packs setting up a howl, then from another direction, then another.  We never saw a wolf, but this was an amazing experience to take part in.

Many years later we got two puppies and as we were bringing them home in the car one put back his tiny head and let out a howl.  His sister joined in and the two babies howled most of the way home.  They were crated at night, and every morning at dawn they would set up their howl to be let out.  And they kept that up for all the years we had them.  The two dogs I have now slept right through me listening to this video.  They are pretty far removed from any wolfy ancestry, prefer their food from a sack and a can- processed or dropped on the floor by accident, doesn't matter.
