A few observations with things I don't get about Bakersfield before I get into the rest of my post:
Why is it that most of the ice cream trucks around town do not look kept up or even clean? Is this a cultural thing?
I took my mom into the Kern Canyon a few weeks ago....

I don't remember what I was looking at (or, what I was on, no I'm kidding) when I took it, but I think it kind of transformed into something else. In today's blog n roll game, you will identify what you think it is, or what you see in the photo.
Ready? Set? Blog n roll!

What makes The Empty Space unique?
With seven different community theatres in the Bakersfield area alone - not to mention all of the school and professional productions that come to town - it can be tough to keep up with our local theatre scene. And despite the various marketing tactics...

This drawing was created based on a photo sent to me by a businessman/photographer that travels the world. The gentleman show here was one of many people the photographer meet while traveling through North Africa.
The turban was a real challenge and as you can see I started to get bored with it....

One of my favorite WW2 movies is The Train, with Burt Lancaster and Jeanne Moreau from 1964. The private art loot of a Nazi Col. being moved out of France on trains and the citizens who stop it from happening~ more for the hate of the Nazi’s than the love of art and antiquities....

A Memory of Mine
Just off the highway to Bristol, England,
Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass.
And the eyes of those two ponies
Darken with kindness.
They have come gladly out of the willows
To welcome my cousin and me.
We step over the barbed wire into the...

A recent comment on a post here got me to thinking. Another writer here eloquently laments the lack of love of words. Someone else comments despairingly about the liberal Arts. Does art matter? If not the recent hubbub about street names become a mute point.
