Plant life

Here's some true Great Art from our recent camping trip to Clark's Fork. I just love Still Life, don't you? A marginal part of my famous Camping series.

Extreme Short Shrift. Stayed up too late last night and it's already time for bed. So I'll make this a quick one.

Spent a lot of time on the phone this evening with Loyal Reader Number Three. He was struggling with some Math homework. I gave him some (possibly spurious) advice and enjoyed the chat. We'll see how much he ends up enjoying it when his graded assignment comes back.

We're getting more excited all the time about his weekend visit, which starts tomorrow evening. Safe journey, LRN3!

We have some interesting, thoughtful comments on yesterday's controversy. Of course, the airline was apparently looking for people who are already bald, but I think that's just pure discrimination. What's the difference between a bald head and a shaved head? Other than stubble. And the real possibility that their Living Billboard might let his hair grow and collect the money without ever really advertising at all. Of course, the bald guy could just wear a hat. So it's totally fair.

Anyway. I think we'll go with a new Morrowlife controversy. Namely, this: Should the City Fathers of Saugatuck, Michigan pay this guy's bill? My answer: Yes, and put him on the payroll permanently. He's probably cheaper than the lousy help they already have.

Here's one more slightly controversial topic: they're now using dogs as witnesses in court. I can't see any problem with that, can you? I hate to think what Loyal Pet Number One might do to me in court, given the chance. I might be spending the rest of my life in a small plastic kennel.

Time for bed. See you tomorrow.
