Your comments about the Montrose Flood, especially in light of the near-catastrophes we've had during the last few months with the rain, etc., were interesting particularly because you noted the situation a year before the Station Fire made things more challenging.<br /><br />BTW - just a coincidence, but still - I live in La Crescenta, used to teach at CSUCI (art and art history), and know people at Art Center (actually took some ACAN classes a while back) as well.<br /><br />take care,<br /><br />Kerry KugelmanKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976309104038356548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576928732406732011.post-34788064907053419682009-06-17T06:05:26.066-07:002009-06-17T06:05:26.066-07:00Mike

No matter how hard we try to record or influence how the future will understand us, the strangest things can happen.<BR/><BR/>During our lives, we arrange photos, or music, or glass animals, and then when the intricate chunk of meat that sustains us is gone, the carefully constructed edifice that we built collapses in disarray, our gorgeous molecules are lyced.
