The national war museum http://nusafm.org/Default.aspx  has acquired a collection of military vehicles and other equipment for exhibition. Each of these items represents the highest of standards and is complete restorations from the ground up. The Museum will always seek to acquire equipment and vehicles from collectors, governmental agencies and retail outlets.

Sketches done at the Houston Museum of Natural Science earlier today. Mostly their Hall of Paleontology (several full skeletons, and quite a few skulls--I plan on coming back and drawing Wyrex's full body at some point), along with a few horns from their Cabinet of Curiosities exhibit and a bunch of doodles of an absolutely fascinating sandstone concretion.

GEE’S BEND QUILTS

Since the 19th century, the women of Gee’s Bend in southern Alabama have created stunning, vibrant quilts. In 2002, folk art collector, historian, and curator William Arnett organized an exhibition entitled "The Quilts of Gee's Bend," which debuted at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and later travelled to a dozen other locations across the country, including our own Milwaukee Art Museum (September 27, 2003 - January 4, 2004). This exhibition brought fame to the quilts, and Arnett's foundation Souls Grown Deep Foundation continues to collect and organize exhibitions for Gee’s Bend Quilts.

The images shown here are from Gee’s Bend: The Women and Their Quilts, with essays by John Beardsley, William Arnett, Paul Arnett, and Jane Livingston, an introduction by Alvia Wardlaw, and a foreword by Peter Marzio. The book was published in 2002 by Tinwood Books, Atlanta, and published in conjunction with the 2002 exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. It includes 350 color illustrations and 30 black-and-white illustrations. The dust jacket notes observe:

The women of Gee’s Bend - a small, remote, black community in Alabama - have created hundreds of quilt masterpieces dating from the early twentieth century to the present. . . . [The] quilts carry forward an old and proud tradition of textiles made for home and family. They represent only a part of the rich body of African American quilts. But they are in a league by themselves. Few other places can boast the extent of Gee’s Bends’s artistic achievement, the result of geographical isolation and an unusual degree of cultural continuity. In few places elsewhere have works been found by three and sometimes four generations of women of the same family, or works that bear witness to visual conversations among community quilting groups and lineages.

Our copy is a gift from our friend and benefactor Suzy Ettinger.

If you're in Houston right now, I'd leave, period.

Apparently this is all the detail that's public on the gas leak:

The same thing happened in my home town. The radius widened within minutes which is why I'm suggesting you leave Houston for a few hours if you can.

The gas leak in my home town resulted in an explosion that killed one person. That's when the radius widened a lot.

My brother witnessed it. He was about a half a mile away and he was in his truck, which lifted off the ground by "what felt like an inch." He'd probably be seriously injured if he wasn't in that truck.

I'm going to be tagging this with tourist attractions in Houston to make sure that as many people as possible sees this.
