After our visit, and a very cold ride, Betty and I search for all that rejects winter! For us that was found at Three Dots and a Dash (Morse code used at the end of World War II announcing VICTORY!).

-The residual purpose of art is purposeless play. This play however, is an affirmation of life–Not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and one’s desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord. -John Cage
