Badger Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Heh, I actually did really good in art history class in college. Actually one of the more interesting classes I had in college. But, let's just say I liked it more for the history part. I appreciate pre-1700* art much more than what came later. By 20th century, well I don't do Picasso, to put it simply. *well maybe on up till early 19th century. Loved the classical stuff in antiquity, Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Sociotard Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 One of Yellowstone's dormant geysers (dormant since 1957) just erupted.

Old Man Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Sometimes art is enhanced by its backstory. Sometimes it’s mostly art. Sometimes it’s mostly backstory. Sometimes it’s nothing but an example of conspicuous consumption. Sociotard and pinecone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Fireworks don't count as art? Because that involves blowing stuff up, and just about every fireworks display I've seen was thoroughly artistic. pinecone and Lucius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I didn't think it would be controversial to suggest that art should not entail explosions, but saying so seems to have blown up in my face....

Badger Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'll give you fertile, but I don't like sunny* (burns my eyes) and warm just means humid summers.

Badger Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Yeah, speaking from north of NC, not only did we get the heavy rain from a former hurricane a few weeks ago, but seems it rains 4-5 days a week since May (except for like an 8 day drought in about mid-August) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grailknight Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yeah, this could do a lot of bad things to the Florida Panhandle and SE Alabama. North and South Carolina are also going to be hit with more rain in areas that may not be fully drained from Florence. I'm not seeing a big increase in traffic on I10 as I expected for an evacuation. Thankfully this one has missed us here. It not even raining and the sun is peeking out of the overcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
