This is the most awesome painting of a major historical event ever! The Surrender
I'm not sure it's 100% accurate, as I know of no documentation that Robocop was at the Battle of Yorktown. Also, I think most paleontologists would agree that even as far back as the American Revolution, the dinosaurs were already extinct, in which case it would have been impossible for George Washington to have ridden a triceratops into battle.
But the important thing is the painting got the
spirit
of our enemy's surrender right....
eta: note from the artist:
I painted this for the 225th anniversary of the Battle of Yorktown when George Washington and the Continentals traunched the British. The county would not dignify it with a response, however, George Washington's Mount Vernon estate kindly wrote me an e-mail saying they would "pass it along to the staff".
I need to clean. And run to Walgreens. And buy a wedding card. And figure out all my insane travel arrangements.
I need to make lists. Otherwise I may forget to pick up Dana from the airport tomorrow.
And suddenly I'm concerned about Allyson's bat.
He's a Mexican free-tail.
On his way to Argentina as we speak, where he's going to stay with vampire bats for awhile.
shrift, I posted about your MV trip in F2F thread. Should I have posted here instead?

I think my NE roots are showing. My first thought? shrift's going to California and Martha's Vineyard? Nice.
F2F is good, Perkins! I imagine any planning would get lost in natter.
Hawaii is too exotic a place for Obama and his family to vacation in.
Apparently the news about Hawaii's statehood hasn't reached the average voter.

New Mexico's license plates need to say New Mexico United States of America because people can't tell the difference between New Mexico and Old Mexico.
And suddenly I'm concerned about Allyson's bat.
Only about 0.5% of bats have rabies at any given time, so the chance of him contracting it from his bloodsucking cousins in South America is still pretty small.
