My mention of "The Big Sombrero" Western yesterday and the possibility of it being filmed at the White Stallion Guest Ranch brought this response:

Thanks to Steve Lodge, who, of course, found it online. Amazing. I predict a major growth industry for someone who can figure out how to keep private information off the web. I know I would pay extra not to see the ads that are smothering most sites, but I don't know how you would eliminate GPS directions to anyone's house in the world. There's a great cartoon in the new New Yorker that shows a barber holding a gadget over a customer's head, sayinig, "Would you like to see the top on Google Earth?"

Ha.

Yesterday I whipped out my 4,860th sketch, @ six a day, without missing. Closing in on the half-way mark of 5,000. When I go back and look at different sketchbooks I can see my moods. Very interesting. I wonder if any other artists have had this insight?
