The "Invasion of the Metal Skeletons" at the Milwood Branch is certainly mistitled, if nothing else. But, as you say, the execution does not live up to the good intentions...ADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408980212433714362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3547067420689722925.post-2008411913685546462010-06-20T16:31:16.156-04:002010-06-20T16:31:16.156-04:00Happy Father's day Dad!

I like the lillies and the library post and the population post on Lamarotte. Hope you're well. We'll be seeing one nother soon!

The most notable thing about it is that in the front there are the most atrocious modern art statues, which I always mentally call 'The Zombie Children' whenever I see it. (It's actually called <a href="http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/aipp/aipp_detail.cfm?art=127" rel="nofollow">"Learning to Fly"</a> and like all atrocious public art, was very well-intentioned.)Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698839146562734910noreply@blogger.com
