To me it is impressive architecturally and historically speaking but is now populated by the usual (and some less usual) retail and entertainment horrors The wine place seems worth a visit though!

Snoopy flew sorties against the Hun until the Treaty of Versailles, June 28, 1919. Now honourably discharged with a penchant for a pint of Ginger Ale, he became a biker.

Wasn't that rather unsporting of him as the war ended on the 11th hour of 11/11/18, It could have ended earlier except they wanted a memorable time and date despite a few thousand more dead.

In other Pigsty News, model aeroplane flyers have joined the Sty, too.

What more can I say? Swine still fly!

That’s one stout little swine flyer ! I always enjoyed building model aircraft. That’s a easy build !

Snoopy was of the 10% who simply didn't get the word! Neither did his mortal enemy, the Hun! Dog is man's best friend, but Snoopy isn't an everyday dog! Shot down, escaped to the trenches, flew again. Wash, rinse, repeat!

The late Charles Shultz had a unique sense of humour and ability to leave associations people identified with.

Yes, it is a stout flyer, basically a pigsty of the Cessna 366 and 377. But, pigs are beautiful.

Interesting that’s a Cessna I do not know. Long ago I got my pilots license in a Cessna 152. Moved up through the ranks to a 182 Cutlass RG.

Charles Schultz was an interesting man. The creative individuals he surrounded himself with are quite amazing too. I remember seeing A Charlie Brown Christmas the day it aired. I’ve followed his works ever sense.
It’s the holiday season. Time for some Linus and Lucy.

Am familiar with it (366 and 377 tandem twin - front and rear engines) because I would occasionally see one taking off from Honolulu International back in the 1970's. Most were military but there were a few privately owned ones there. There were a few scale and semi-scale models in various modelling magazines.

Yes am very familiar, a few years ago, bought Hal Leonard's Charlie Brown Christmas Jazz Play-Along Volume 66. Link below is for the digital download version, but one I bought came with a CD. It is different and fun to play along with, ride with on my saxes.

That's the work of Fredrick Prescott.

Fredrick Prescott breathes life into sculptures using kinetic motion. His creativity has no boundaries as he creates life-size elephant, lion, giraffe, flamingo, moose and elk sculptures that move in the wind.

My guardian pig has flown at the entrance of my various offices for the last 25+ years. It has proven very effective.

BIG is what they do. I had the good fortune to see this documentary while visiting the gallery last week. (Spoiler: It's a 30' tall, hydraulic-actuated, kinetic giraffe sculpture.)
