I found this very amusing. Tomlinson created this on the barriers right outside our office. You can click on the picture to see a bigger image and read the sign. It actually reminded me more of the rock piles we would see outside the Buddhist temples in Korea.

Hey! I have LOTS of comments! The Russian planes are big. Very. I think I still have a kids concept of the world...that countries are still isolated...the french eating french food and thinking french thoughts and driving french cars...the russians eating russian food and thinking russian thoughts and....you get the point. So seeing russain planes in Iraq broadens my mind (: Alaskan rock village, indegenous.... now that man is an ARTIST. Very splendid concept. (: I am currently working on a concept of my own (which will be prominately placed) involving grey wool socks, many salty swedish licorice fish and a nautical tourist picture of david, wendi, art and suzy. Nice to know you have gastronomic day markers....crab and steak...it must be wednesday. (: Not knowing much and not having nerves of steel we were disconcerted to read about ship 171 whhich dives as it turns but presumably diving while turning is a sensation that prompts you to thoughtful curosity, not terror. Good man. Obviously in the right job. Once again we are fascinated by Euphrates pictures...and the isolated green spots. Are the people who live there VERY rich? People who live in isolated greenery in the United States are very rich. Is it the same everywhere? The land looks without infrastructure to me but I do not have trained eyes. Are there roads unseen by me? Really like the picture of Marines boarding ship. Air ship that is. Excellent composition. A keeper. There was an Art snarl with the blog address. He was most positive (the position from which I am most often wrong) that there was an underline in the address and as this information was given to many others in a VERY positive way, many were frustrated. (: Art was clueless but informed and very happy reading "onceagain", mostly by himself. "I am sure of the address" he would say. Good thing there is a me who distinguishes between an underline and a hyphen. "Really!" says Art. "Now why have I been saying underline?!" A question unanswerable. (: Thanks for pictures and comments. I now have my own computer but no internet access; that is for bigger kids. I also have my own Netflicks queue but no authorized number of movies. I am entering the modern world but slowly. We love you.

Mom,

You did have lots of comments :) I know what you mean about thinking of the world in isolated segments and I think a large part of that is because the U.S. dominates so much of the world - at least culturally. It seems that most of the information we get is either about the U.S. or as it relates to the U.S. (I say this knowing full well you have a much better grasp of international attitudes than I do :) Of course the big draw here is money - there is nothing like money to build strange relationships. I am looking forward to seeing your concept - I am sure it will be interesting as always :) A minor correction - the aircraft that dives is 081 which replaced 171 (the one that crashed) and yes I do find it interesting and not too terrifying as long as I can control it :) I am actually flying it again tomorrow to see if it is fixed. I hope so but I don't have a lot of confidence. I don't think the people are very rich - there is almost nothing out there and I can't imagine how they would make large amounts of money. There is almost no infrastructure out the e - just a few roads. I find that very amusing about Dad :). Take care and I love you guys.
