Isn’t Donald Trump refreshing, after all this evasion and politically correct babble? I like the tough-talking, no-nonsense way he embraces ideas that are clearly insane.
Here is a guy who is promising to get thousands of 20 year-old America kids shot to pieces in an ugly, unending campaign that will replay every single horror we saw in the last war over there… but at least he’s not afraid to admit it!
One more light bulb test, this one against neutral colors. Philips Warm Glow in the left, GE Reveal on the right.
The sky above the San Fernando Valley used to be the color of the Philips light, back before they put catalytic converters on all the exhaust pipes. The hills weren’t two miles away but on some days you couldn’t even see them, just their weak brown shadow. Los Angeles is 90% beige buildings, scorched into a kind of ecru, and back then they were barely distinguishable from the sky. In my memories I want to call it a soupy sky, but it was much too dry to be soupy. An instant ramen sky, I guess.
Back in Lancaster there was this religious family down the block and their house smelled not-good. Like mayonnaise and sweat and hard candy. They did, though, have this great table clock—enclosed in a bell jar, its mechanics exposed, with a pendulum rotating swiftly beneath it. Winding and unwinding itself. Very good. I tended to look at their clock a lot because everything else in their house was so boring. They had some coloring books about Noah, but it was this realistically rendered Noah and no fun at all. Not Noah the smiling zoophile, but Noah the Old Testament creep.
They never opened their curtains and all their furniture had fallen into the dusty rose hue of a GE Reveal.
Which do you prefer?
