Cookies' Business Card

He goes by "Cookies", not because it's his name (it's his wife's), but because it's what people call him.
Cookies is a charming man of 77 years, who can do just about anything you need.  
Today, that meant, hauling all the trash/scrap from BrickHaus, (and my! there was a lot of it.)

Cookies left us his business card, in case we are in need of anything else.

And if he can't do it, one of his brother's can.
Smitty's a mechanic, and Harry does tires.

77 years old, and quite full of life.  
Cookies (aka Paul), is a good one (and impressively strong!).

artscape, or more accurately, the circus

A giant Art Face...

...whose facial expressions are controlled by these people.


Of course, no art festival is complete without a man laying on nails...

...and a ferris wheel.

"Welcome to Monster World"




I believe this is some sort of dragon, eating some sort of human...

This band wasn't great, but the horn contraption was interesting.

Rebirth Brass Band

It finally stopped raining!

And a beautiful sky to close out the day.

La Guelaguetza begins this week...

Grainy video of dances from the Mixteca. Shall the week of exchange, communality and craziness begin!
