Do you have any artistic talents?

    I don't know but I was on a field trip in college. We visited a nearby light house and a locally famous light house artist was there. Our assignment was to sketch it. I sketched it in a surreal stormy Nor'easter. When the artist saw it she asked if I had taken any art classes. I said no and she thought what I had done was very good.

  • I played bagpipes for about ten years. Gigs, parades.

    That's very different.

  • I love the bagpipe sound. My first BF played the pipes.  I confess to having a rather peculiar fondness for ethnic Bulgarian music with bagpipes. It's extremely haunting and so beautiful. When I am in one of obscure moods and play this type of music, the sound carries throughout my mountain kingdom.

    I am very artistic, but I don't know about being talented.   Some people love my work, some are unimpressed.

    Sounds good. I was actually at Taliesin West some years back. Did a ten day driving trip through Arizona.

    Well that's good.  We got that out of the way already.  You saw everything.  Now I don't have to be entertaining.  Maybe we can go to Austin and see Marguerite.  Or wherever she lives in Texas.

    Lol..... I couldn't lure you back up to Sedona?  

    Though Texas is good too. I want to do San Antonio's Riverwalk.

    I just went there (Sedona)  and it was Godawful.  It is crowded as hell and built-up so much you wouldn't believe it.  They took paradise and put up a parking lot.   It's not the same place to me anymore.

    Well that is really sad to hear. I loved it when I was there. I hate when they ruin places like that!

    Years ago now, I was hiking there in the mountains.  I could hear jackhammers in the distance there, putting up telephone poles.

    Then I heard this sniffling and crying muffled sound coming from the trees and rocks.  I went there to expect a crying child lost.  There was no one and nothing.  Just the muffled crying.  I am sure it was from the very tortured mountains themselves and the spirit being crushed by mankind's stupid greed once more.

    I can believe it.

    Greed is the word. People can never get enough. So-called "progress." Moving toward all the wrong things. In some ways, maybe we got the leader we deserved.

    No, but I'm thinking of taking toilet paper art classes.

    If I was stuck in jail, I'd maybe try stealing a roll and make some paper mache'.  I'd have to be locked up to be that bored though.
