Under the Gun


Damn! What is it when the gods of chaos step in to throw me off track just when I'm intent on finishing a creative project!

I took a nice walk this morning to have breakfast before coming home to print & frame 6 photographs for this weekend's SWAN Day show here in Bisbee. When I returned home, I noticed that my tire on my van was F L A T. I mean, no air whatsoever. It was full when I walked away, I swear. Anyway, the AAA truck barely made it up my narrow Old Bisbee street and filled the tire, just to remove it again and apply the spare. Third tire this month. WTF? I spent the next several hours heading to Sierra Vista for a new tire and back here. If it's vandals, I'm gonna kick their asses if I ever catch them. If it's the Arizona sun taking its toll on rubber that hits the road, well, I shake my fist in the air and curse (and take my credit card out of my purse....hey, that rhymes).

So, now the photos are done - Epson printer died on me while the project was in mid-process. I have a Canon printer as well. I'm not as pleased, but, the finished work looks pretty good. Just in time to deliver to the convention center tomorrow morning.

Gee...that was fun. I wonder if any will sell this weekend? Check out the show all over Bisbee. My work will be hanging at the High Desert Market Saturday & Sunday. I'll be there too...

  1. It is Arizona. I did nt have a flat for 10 years... moved to Arizona and had 2 in six months...

    Either way, good luck on the show! I wish I were going to be in town!!

  2. Ok, so it's not invisible nails...because I'm just not seeing any. I am seeing a bit of broken glass on the road. But, I just don't think that's it. I had to replace a couple of bad valve stems in the hopes of keeping the remaining tires from flattening mysteriously.

    Maybe I should drive a tank?

  3. It's very unlikely that anyone did that on purpose. Any how, I look forward to seeing your work this weekend!
    Mine will be at Sam and Poe.

  4. At this point I've got two new tires and on the older (but, still new) tires, new valve stems. We'll see how I fare now. It's just bizarre. I don't see any other flat tires on the street.

    I saw your painting when I dropped off my photo this morning. This is exciting!
