Well, Milano is empty. Everyone is at the beach for the rest of August. One can actually find a parking spot... but then, most stores are closed...
Looking at Picasso's picture of a sleeping beauty, I realize it was made exactly 52 years ago, a magical number for me this year.
At least it says so on the picture "9.8.52 XXII"
(In Europe that's August 9th)

Today, right in time it seems, the definition of Nephelokokkygia reached me via Merriam-Webster's super-excellent Word-of-the-Day e-mail.

Last Sunday in LA I visited the Buckminster Fuller Conference.
It was in the School of Architecture, downtown LA, amongst students who looked like ganguro girls imported straight from Japan, hippies, old folks, and lots of normal people too (was that list insulting??).
Very good stuff happening there, from a global perspective and from a personal experience. Wouldn't go as far as Joshua (the president of BFI - the Buckminster Fuller Institute), who called it 'like being home', but.. More >

Who would better put a picture to the mysterious Medusa, one of the 3 Gorgons, than Salvador Dali?
