rain_gryphonThe Big Butter Jesus is no more. I'm bummed, as I'd always meant to go and see that, but never got around to it. Apparently they were intending to paint it in more lifelike colours soon anyway, which prolly would have ruined a lot of its magnificent weirdness. The way they designed and installed it had Jesus at the edge of a small pond, in the ground up to His waist, and raising His arms to the sky. It always looked to me like He'd stepped in quicksand, and was calling for help.

Some deranged-looking woman tried to smuggle 500 pounds of pot into the airport here.

I just returned from having an excellent and enormous bowl of pho tai at the local Vietnamese eatery. Apart from the TV set (that omnipresent curse of Vietnamese restaurants), the place even looks like my image of Saigon in 1970 or so, built from half-remembered magazine articles and the nightly news. I need to go there more often. The things that make me happy are all around, and I don't make enough use of them.
