Hounds of Capitalism
So, I'm learning something about going to conferences. Never give them your real email address or phone number. My phone has gotten quite busy with cold calls. I don't imagine why everyone else at work spends 1/2 their day weeding through all the worthless emails each morning; not all of them having to do with Viagra or firmer, larger breasts.
Other than that, it was a pretty quiet weekend for a change. Kimba called about an hour before the concert started, saying that she was feeling under the weather. So, I went alone.
Interesting people in this town. I took a picture of the crowd that I'm going to call, "Can you spot the minority?" About 1000 White Anglo-Saxon Democrats who have all made their money in one way or another and are living at the top of their civilization. I was people-watching when they thought they were safe and in good company, and a couple of words came to mind:
Smug - I deserve this.
Hedonism - What makes me feel good, must be good.
Diva - Their translation: I'm famous and adored by my fans. My translation: look up Diva and you'll find, 'prima donna'. Look up prima donna and you'll find 'a temperamental, conceited person'.
O.K. off my soapbox and back to work. Sometimes, I'm just as guilty. Today's picture is a simple creature. Uncomplicated.
