Are you ready to come to the El Cerrito, California, July 4 festival and visit my woodblock print booth?

I have been enjoying reading Maria Arango's book on art festivals, especially where she comments on compressed air. We have had some problems with that at our city council meetings. They seem to have an ability to target individuals and drive them from the council chambers with some kind of mild tear gas, or something else that makes me feel stoned, but it's not as bad as the stuff they shot at us during the People's Park anniversary back in the 1970's, which came from the exhaust pipe of a police car, and which stung my eyes terribly. I went to an art festival a few years ago where there was a French woman showing her art work, and you could smell SOMETHING unusual, maybe it was just their expensive perfume. You know that one important German artist had a big show in San Francisco that just REEKED of soda ash. I hope this is not a trend, but I fear that it is. So if you encounter this, it's not your imagination, it's real, and I have no idea what to do about it. God bless hanga printmakers for going non-toxic.

Regarding the chemical air spray, I think the local governments do it to us to show that they are just as mean to their own loyal citizens as they are to foreign enemies. Our Vice President Cheney had that problem too--he shot one of his friends. The worst is when it's your own husband or wife (now ex-husband) doing it to you with a cologne bottle, a la WWII. It was probably some terrorist group he was part of. But it's not me! Honest to God! I'm not the one who is doing it. I buy name brand cologne from Macy's. I walked my dog out on Albany Trail to the jetty today and came to a place where I could smell the chemicals on the ground or in the air, or maybe they have hidden air jets there, and then I had to go to the bathroom quick and there is no bathroom out there! Did someone dump some chemicals they use at the race track out there? It used to be a garbage dump before they covered it up. I think Alameda county has way more chemicals going on than the refinery area here in Richmond.

Sorry to get off the subject.
