Christo

So much to discuss.  Linda participating in a demonstration in Lehighton at the McCall Bridge, General Mattis criticizing Trump, demonstrators and cops hugging each other and demonstrators cleaning up the streets, Biden acting presidential, the Pennsylvania primary, Hong Kong, Facebook employees criticizing Zuckerberg, Steven King losing his primary, Trump hiding in his bunker–it is just too much.

So I’ll talk about Christo.  I was living in San Jose when he did his “running fence” in Marin County, and I regret not going to see it.  We did drive to New York to see the gates in Central Park, and they were wonderful.  The Park was full of people walking around in awe, enjoying the spectacle, and having a great time.  

If art is in the eye of the beholder, then I fully accept that the gates were art.  I loved what Christo did.  His art was massive, ephemeral, whimsical, and managed to draw attention to our environment.  The world is a lesser place with his passing.
