This is kind of a bland painting with the slight variation of colors used throughout except for the sign post and rails. While the drawing is clear (that's something, and the perspective is okay, it seems Colville is more concerned with a message than the actual scene. Old vs. new? The passing of traditional values? The foolishness of older matters against progress? The value of the individual (horse) versus the mechanical?
Given my mood these days, I'm cheering for the horse. Posted by: JTB at May 21, 2020 09:42 AM (7EjX1) 57

Is this supposed to be a commentary on new ways forcing out old ways or "clash of civilizations" or something like that? If so, we already know the answer.

Ok, this painting reminds me of something I was involved in years ago, and it wasn't pretty. When I did oilfield work, the crew I managed would all drive out together to the well we were about to work on for the next day or two, and we'd drive multiple vehicles, whatever we needed for that job. One morning at about 4:30 AM, my guy in front of me was driving a Crane Truck (basically the front end of a semi, back half a big flatbed with a crane on it), and he came around a corner in the woods near Carthage, and suddenly there was a big Horse running right down the middle of the highway, straight at him.
BOOM. That truck looked like it had been hit by a torpedo! If I'd been in front, or any car had hit it, the driver would have been killed, but since the crane truck's cab was elevated off the ground, the torpedo went through the truck body underneath him. I was thinking of more of the extremely nasty details, but now I think it's better just to stop there. Except to say that the horse wasn't just "hit" by the truck - at the point of contact, that poor horse basically exploded. Posted by: Tom Servo at May 21, 2020 09:44 AM (V2Yro) 77

In the gait known as the gallop, all four feet leave the ground-but not when the legs are outstretched, as you might expect. In reality, the horse is airborne when its hind legs swing near the front legs, as shown in Muybridge's photos.

I'm no expert on horses, but I don't believe that a galloping horse ever has all of its hooves off the ground at the same time. ==== Incorrect. There is a famous historical photo when this misconception was proven incorrect. Also Google search galloping horse and you will see many examples. Posted by: Simplemind at May 21, 2020 10:18 AM (yshFD) Those Muybridge photos were in response to a wager. I don't remember if Muybridge was one of the bettors, instead, I think he was asked to set up the cameras to prove/disprove the claim. The cameras were lined up with tripwires that the horse tripped as it passed, creating the famous sequence. Yadda, yadda, yadda... "Batman and Robin".

If one of my kids fit into ANY privileged ethnic/racial group, he would be admitted at every highly selective school to which he applied. Since that is not the case, he is working one-on-one with an extraordinarily expensive test prepper. And I don't even know if it will help. The test prepper delivers the goods, though!

279 Bribing your kids way into college has a long and storied history. I'm not sure when things changed, but I'm willing to bet that if I fund a humanities studies chair at Yale, my kid still gets into Yale.
Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at May 21, 2020 10:17 AM (kVr0X) That's almost honest compared to what was going on though. Mummy and Pappaw gave a boatload of money to the school so I get to go here. That slightly different than bribing the athletic director and creating fake photos of your kid on the swim team even though they've never swam a lap a day in their life all so they can go on an athletic scholarship.

Visited mom yesterday at her assisted living home. Wish I could post a picture. They had her in a plexiglass booth on the patio, closed in on 3 sides. We stood on the side across from the doorway. She had just come from the salon so she had left her hearing aids in her apartment. She could barely hear us. It was so good to finally see her after 9 weeks. They also started allowing them to eat in the diningroom.
The booth made her look like Eichman in Israel when he was under trial. Posted by: neverenoughcaffeine at May 21, 2020 10:52 AM (JVgnl) 508

One of my proudest HQ moments was when I said that I'd worked for Arby's in college and it took me for ever to realize that RB was roast beef and I got a "mind blown" from ace his own self.
Then someone said, correctly, that it stood for the Robineau Brothers or some such shit and I was wrong. Also, I remember that I worked at Roy Rogers, not Arby's. - That might be my new favorite thing for today. The ending is the best part.

Easier to check staff and send them home if they have issues. Whatever they are doing has worked. Zero WuFlu infections in her place.

Last time I drove the six hundred miles up to Iowa I programmed the GPS to avoid interstates. I got there half an hour earlier than I usually do and the trip was a lot more fun.
State highway departments have done a good job of expanding well-traveled highways into four lanes. They seem to be trying to keep stops to a minimum and most of the time you can find a "regular" highway that goes straighter to your destination than the interstate. Never mind that most every town has a filling station and you don't have to go thirty miles wiggling in your seat until the next rest area. Posted by: creeper at May 21, 2020 11:03 AM (XxJt1) 557
