Fascinating pictures of Russia before the Revolution.  The text is terrible.

Warning lights on your dashboard. Also, in my car the image of the front of a car with snakes underneath it means that the car is hydroplaning.  I learned that during my tornado experience last May.  http://autos.aol.com/gallery/car-warning-lights-meaning/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl6%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D476652#!slide=2606130

More on Visions exhibit "Brainstorms" 10-23-12

Although photography is not allowed at the exhibit, during the opening celebration we did take pictures of artists with their quilts and I am showing these three to tantalize you.  To make you go to see the exhibit or, if that is not possible, to purchase the catalog with fantastic pictures by Eric Nancarrow assisted by Susanna Nancarrow.   The catalog is available from the museum - http://www.visionsartmuseum.org/cart/listproducts.asp
And many of the quilts are available for purchase.  If you go to see the exhibit ask at the front desk for a price list or contact the museum.
