Portland Art Museum

Amazing Blinky Palermo, giant one, one of the best I have even scene, pure dynomite!! Next to it was a large that's right our own Matthew McCaslin w/ Alaska 1995. Couple of the TV's were broken and the guard pointed it out and I said" I am a friend of the artist, its part of the piece, eventually it all goes dead, just like life", he said "OK".

Next floor Kenny Scharf wacky sculpture with a TV all goob'd up Scharf style and the kids are watching the cartoon and I go look at some other art and next think I know Alice hits some button and changes the imput from silent running cartoon to very noisy snowstorm. I push the buttons to get it quiet but cant figure how to get to video. No guard a round, sorry Kenny and fellow museum guests.

4 to 6" of fluffy snow already. Rain switched to snow around 9 am. Branches are cracking off and falling on trees that have not yet dropped their leaves. A recipe for knocking out power lines.
SFO -> YYZ, just for a day to pick up a Catahoula puppy.

kept an eye on the scoreboard last night just to witness the last inning or so of what might have been the first world series championship for the texas rangers. ended up watching the last four innings of a memorable st louis win in the 11th inning after being down runs at five different times during the game including two runs down in the ninth and the tenth followed by a walkoff homerun in the 11th.
