Reckless Driving

It is not about how good you are at your wheel.

It's about how bad/tired/distracted/unprepared everybody else is.

So, please, just use your turn signal.

European Art at the High Museum

Friday night Jazz at the High is quite fun, though not necessarily for the concert. They offer a nice set up but the acoustics are not up to par.

However: the music is in the internal courtyard, beyond the first bridge. The floors above are open to an internal open staircase/ramp. In other words: the music carries to all the floors above.

This was a pretty good setting in which to discover the European art collection at the High. I went a little loopy at two pieces by Niccolò di Segna, this here by Giovanni Francesco da Rimini, this German St. Andrew and several more. The impressionist and modern collection was also a noteworthy, as was the Tiepolo, below

Memphis Belle

In late February, the Memphis Belle came to Atlanta.

Ok not THE Memphis Belle. But an original B-17 which is named Memphis Belle as it is the plane used in the film.

And it is pretty cool.
