Sticky Fingers

I love it when my co-workers leave pictures they decide not to use in the Citizen's network server. Looky what I found... Check out Virginia Voiers looking Beneath the Surface during John Rankine's recent exhibit by the same name.

...Is she reaching under that glass to swipe Baby Jesus (again) or going for the dentures? Tsk, tsk, Virginia...you really must get help.

Meanwhile, Dave Heilemann over at Inn of the Ozarks is gearing up for the big VW Weekend he runs. ...Of course everyone wants to know what time the parade is on Saturday, so somebody asked Dave. Best answer: "...It won't be at two... maybe two thirty ... or perhaps three ... but maybe ...depends." Oh those V-Dub guys. So, folks, park your lawn chairs uh, somewhere, ...sometime Saturday afternoon. ...Or just check out the show at the I of O and be there.

Speaking of being there, J. D. Harris of Memphis was staying at Eureka Suites, probably taking in the Farmers' Market next door at Pine Mountain Village Tuesday when some people tossing a few watermelon rinds out back into the gully discovered a large, heavy-bodied snake and called for help. ...Whipping out his cell phone, Harris documented Les Gustavas from Ark. Game & Fish trying to wrestle a huge boa constrictor into one of those mesh bags normally used for oranges. Really guys? A mesh bag? ...I guess that could work if the snake ate the oranges first.
