Idaho trip

I drove Kimberly back to Idaho and here are some pictures of what it looks like to drive through Idaho and what Kim looks like with mountains behind her. It's all very pretty.

How to wipe a plate, by Chris Moulton

So I found that my friend Chris put up an illustrioius presentation of how to wipe a plate while printmaking. So if you go to his blog which I have listed on the left here <--- than you can see it. And for those of you who are wondering what making prints looks like, this is 1 critical step among many.

Railroad Bill

Early one morning
standing out in the rain
And around that bend
Came a great freight train

Railroad Bill
Is a mean man
He shot the midnight lantern out of a
Good mans hand

Trouble in the east
Trouble in the west
Got a .38 special sticking
Out of my vest

Railroad Bill
Coming down the hill
Lighting a cigar with a
Twenty dollar bill

Railroad Bill said that
Before he died
He'd build a railroad just for the
Bums to ride

There is something so amiable in the prejudices of a young mind, that one is sorry to see them give way to the reception of more general opinions.

this was a train station

Wash my eyes that I may see
Yellow return to the willow tree
Open my ears that I may hear,
The river running swift and clear
