The object of John’s attention stood quietly in the chute. She was a crossbred heifer, carefully selected for those quality criteria; four legs and a pulse. Although she weighed over 800 lbs, she wasn’t much taller than a bathroom sink and wide as a mobile home! Being nine months pregnant made you want to paint “GOODYEAR” on her side!

I went to the garden, because I had no choice: the stone monsters had to be seen, the article had to be written. I recall a certain amount of difficulty getting myself out of the car. I clung for a moment to the hot metal of the roof, gulping back a sob, and then stuffed bags of ice down my clothes. I was past caring what the chic Italians around me might think.

Blake Olson may have spent 7 years trying to turn his 1988 Mazda RX-7 into the ultimate FC3S but he doesn’t regret for a moment building it the way that he did.

There are many more examples of the amount of “labor” required in farming and ranching, then and now, but it is that last one that comes to mind. On my wall is a painting of my grandfather walking from the “cooling room” (where the fresh milk was kept in running water to stay cool) carrying a bucket to the pump at the windmill. Then he would walk back and feed the hogs, scatter grain to the chickens, turn the draft horses out, then up to the house for breakfast. If they painted that picture today, he would be on his four-wheeler and probably weighing another twenty pounds!

The top floor has a bachelor pad for the man in the cableknit sweater. His apartment has a lovely kitchenette with a stove, prep area, and sink. The stove even has a tray of cookies inside. However, the poor dude’s bathroom may be the smallest toilet in the LEGO world. I also suspect he may have mechanics and vets traipsing through his home throughout the day to use the building’s only facilities…

At the moment, though, Kikukawa’s production combines manual techniques with state-of-the-art machinery. In two warehouse-like factory buildings, workers cut, bend, polish and stamp patterns into metal sheets with the help of machines. There’s a swivelling robotic arm that welds pieces together with lasers and a new metal-shaping machine; its technology is a company secret. At one end a crew is inspecting 150 steel columns, covered in blue plastic film to prevent scratching, that will soon be shipped out. It’s not unlike the matte-metal skin that Kazuyo Sejima ordered as a wrapping for the Sumida Hokusai Museum in Tokyo.

The technical name for the syndrome is called Progressive Dumb Dog Detachment Amnesia or PDA. There are some social scientists who believe PDA is a result of a broken home, a puppyhood trauma or sucking hind tit. Others, with only a Master’s Degree prefer to think it is a biological defect like damaged chromosomes, lack of a braun or too much Co-op dog food.

I am sure God spends time in the city. He’s there working in the shopping mall, the factories and the office buildings that speckle our wonderful nation. But I figger He must commute; ‘cause I’ll bet when He goes home for Christmas, He goes to the country.

I spotted his daughter. She stood with great dignity near the fence, pig at her side and watched the ribbons being passed out. She looked to be about ten. In time the judge approached her and handed her a yellow ribbon. She broke into a wide grin, reached down and patted the pig.

Down the other side of the swell they sailed, Terry tobogganing like a 200-lb ham tied to a runaway buffalo! Dirt pounded up his pant legs as he scooted and skittered along trying to avoid straddling the brush and yucca that lay like land mines in the obstacle course!
