Something Wonderfully Weird 
Blythe Intaglios
 
In 1932, pilot George Palmer was flying from Las Vegas to Blythe, Calif., when he saw drawings sketched on the desert. Someone had scraped away the dark surface soil to draw three human figures, two four-legged animals, and a spiral.
 
Because they're so large (the largest human figure is 171 feet long), they'd gone unnoticed until then. No local Native American group claims to have made them; radiocarbon dating places their creation between 900 BCE and 1200 CE. Vist:

Scribe Laments 
 

You've got a good steamy potboiler just perfect for the beach. Only the words the author wanted are in that little book. However, way back, in days when monks would copy ancient texts for 14-16 hours a day until they lost their sight, they would occasionally leave little notes in Latin for future generations to find. To wit: 
 
New parchment, bad ink; I say nothing more.

I am very cold.
That's a hard page and a weary work to read it.
Let the reader's voice honor the writer's pen.
This page has not been written very slowly.
The parchment is hairy.
The ink is thin.
Thank God, it will soon be dark.
Oh, my hand.
Now I've written the whole thing; for Christ's sake give me a drink.
Writing is excessive drudgery. It crooks your back, it dims your sight, it twists your stomach and your sides.
St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing.
While I wrote I froze, and what I could not write by the beams of the sun I finished by candlelight.
As the harbor is welcome to the sailor, so is the last line to the scribe.
This is sad! O little book! A day will come in truth when someone over your page will say, "The hand that wrote it is no more."
In her History and Uncertain Future of Handwriting, Anne Trubek lists another: "Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose, and very tedious for the scribe."

THE WORST TOURIST TRAP IN EVERY STATE

Daniels Energy Special July Savings News 
Evordes Road by Ferdinand Hodler


 
Daniels Energy Special Customer Savings News
Ferdinand Hodler (March 14, 1853 - May 19, 1918) was one of the best known Swiss painters of the nineteenth century. His early works were portraits, landscapes, and genre paintings in a realistic style. Later, he adopted a personal form of symbolism he called "parallelism".
Many of Hodler's best-known paintings are scenes in which characters are engaged in everyday activities, such as the famous woodcutter ( Der Holzfäller , 1910,   Musée d'Orsay ,   Paris ). In 1908, the   Swiss National Bank   commissioned Hodler to create two designs for new paper currency. His designs were controversial: rather than portraits of famous men, Hodler chose to depict a woodcutter (for the   50 Swiss Franc bank note ) and a reaper (for the 100 Franc note)
