It's either a young conservative with Atlas Shrugged or a 30 year old lib with a well-worn copy of Harry Potter.

The weekend before Halloween, I was in a huge hurry to get out the door and meet my brother and his daughter at this cave where they do a haunted house.

I told my daughter to go find her own shoes and put them on, because I didn't have time.

As I was sitting in the interminable line of traffic to get in, I finally noticed that she was wearing two different shoes. And they weren't even close. One was a tennis shoe, and the other was a paw patrol slipper with little ears hanging off it.

119 We've seen at least a couple of Ernest Meissonier's historical works on the thread, they are typically realistic, dramatic, and detailed. This one is different. The details are soft, the man is relaxed not facing some battle, the light is natural and exudes soft, comfortable warmth. It is altogether pleasant and would appeal to anyone who enjoys reading while out of the house. I'm not sure if the way he is holding the book, half closed and a finger marking his place, is contemplating what he read or if he is starting to nod off in the warm sunlight. It could go either way. But the overall feeling is peaceful. I can imagine a similar scene by Carl Larsson. That's a good thing.

121 As I was sitting in the interminable line of traffic to get in, I finally noticed that she was wearing two different shoes. And they weren't even close. One was a tennis shoe, and the other was a paw patrol slipper with little ears hanging off it.

128 I don't know who owns Mitsubishi. Jack Mitsubishi, is my guess.

If Jack Mitsubishi pissed me off, I wouldn't sell my wife's car, even though I bought it. She'd be super pissed at me, way more than I was pissed at Jack. That thing is paid off, and low-mileage.

But if I deliberately shit in it first? Divorce. Because of the mental illness, you see.

Not really. You are sitting down doing your business and reading your book. When you are done with your business, you set the book down and get to the unsanitary cleanup. When you are done with that, you do not go back to reading the book. You get up and wash your hands. The book is never touched with unclean hands.

150 119- Thanks, JTB, for your interesting and appreciative commentary on the various paintings.

I tend to like ones by this artist which have more relaxed settings, such as this one or two men talking over a meal outside at a cafe, rather than the martial ones with groups of soldiers.
