Walking

Click any image to enlarge

As I've mentioned I'm dreaming of the day we finally get conveyor belt sidewalks. However, in the meantime we need to rely on the antiquated method of getting about known as walking. These are paintings of people walking.  Some towards us, some away, and some wandering hither and yon.

On to the future!

Another new year, and another step towards a more glorious future for humanity. However, there have been a couple of hiccups along the way. For example, old-timey futurists promised a world full of conveyor belt sidewalks that, aside of an airport here and there, have failed to materialize. 

I know I feel like a chump every time I have to move my feet to get from point A to point B. Come on, is this the Neolithic Age or the 21st Century? It is well past time that our engineers stop wasting their energy on rocket ships, quantum computers and robot sex dolls and get cracking on conveyor belt sidewalks. A brighter future for our children demands it.

Happy New Years

New Years is upon us, and so many of us will be attending parties tonight. I know I'll be taking my tuxedo out of mothballs and awing the young'uns when I hit the dance floor with my patented Watusi moves. I hope you have a good New Years Eve as well.

Holy Family by Lourry Legarde

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow -
