Photos, and a Treat

    First, the treat: if you've a decent connection, check out jibjab's oddly adorable commentary on the presidential campaign.
     And now, some photos from Saturday. The local university seems to have a policy, whether official or unofficial, promoting outdoor art. Sometimes it's comprehensible by lower mortals like me, and sometimes it's just...weird. An example of weird is the following.

They call it


At first glance, it looks like a chunk of bleachers or half of a staircase:


The blue of the steps and rail didn't show very well against the gorgeous blue of the sky.


A nearby tree offered increased contrast.


Although rather flimsy, this chunk of art is obviously intended to be climbed; each of the stairs has a plate affixed with a philosophical (?) word on it.

     I don't know what it means. Prehaps I shouldn't scoff, since I can't imagine putting together something huge and conceptual. But really, this seems terribly goofy.
