So. It's kind of a mixed blessing getting one's picture on the front page of one's local newspaper. This isn't the picture, but the topic's the same: The new historical panels installed by the Nat'l Park Service about a block away from my house here in Independence, MO, "the Queen City of the Trails."   Proud I am, seeing as they feature paintings of mine, but as has been the case for years, my artwork looks better than I do. Because heaven knows I've certainly devoted a whole lot more time to my paintings than to my appearance!  Ah well.  

There's going to be an official dedication ceremony for the panels first thing tomorrow morning. I reckon I'd better find me a better pair of jeans, huh?
