HIKING IN TUCSON = FUN SPIKEY THINGS

Barnaby Furnas

Working at the Friends of Art Bookshop allowed me to check out some of the sweetest books such as Barnaby Furnas. I remember the first time seeing this book on the new arrival shelf and pouring over the paintings. From then on, I would be browsing this book constantly. I talked about how sweet it was so much that for my going away present, Bennis got it for me! One of the best presents ever.

Bennis' fave pieces were of the rock concerts
Title: Kissers
My faves were the kissing ones

MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY
"That's the end of good news about anything. Our Planet's immune system is trying to get rid of people. This is sure the way to do that."

"Here's the news: I am going to sue the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company, manufacturers of Pall Mall cigarettes, for a billion bucks! Starting when I was only twelve years old, I have never chain-smoked anything but unfiltered Pall Malls. And for many years now, right on the package, Brown and Williamson have promised to kill me.
But I am now eighty-two. Thanks a lot, you dirty rats. The last thing I ever wanted was to be alive when the three most powerful people on the whole planet would be named Bush, Dick and Colon."
