We went to the museum of Natural History. I saw my first totem pole, and dinosaur bones. Crazy how faulty the imagination is. As much as I love my imagination the real deal is much nicer.
Jenny, Joel and I went to an antique market at a school. At the market I met an artist who makes jewelry from old New York City traffic lights. A few years back the old lights were swapped out for new LCD with plastic lenses. The artist was able to acquire the old lenses which are red, yellow and blue (the blue appears green when the light shines through it). She breaks the lenses and places them in a rock tumbler for two weeks. The colored glass comes out looking like sea glass. To get a glossy appearance she tumbles them a second time using a fine grit sand. Holes are drilled with a diamond bit under water and then a finding is added. It was a no-brainer that I should own a pair. I bought a shiny glass pair.
Every time I saw graffiti I would ask, "What does it mean? Can you read it?" Finally Jenny was able to translate this one. It says, Life is like an onion.
