My Cougar is Back . . .
Jan and I got the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit on Brittmore Rd off I-10 about 1:30 and were ushered right in.
After we were wanded by a security guard.
Really?
And of course, what says Van Gogh than a yellow Ford truck full of Sunflowers.
The videos start out sedately with just few images from Van Gogh’ paintings,
Then suddenly the music comes up and walls explode in color.
And the motion never stops. Paintings paint and unpaint themselves, dissolving into other landscapes.
Check out these videos I made.
One thing to keep in mind is that it was a lot darker in the theater too good, and I haven’t found a way to tone it down.
I’ll have more for you tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!!!
Tomorrow, which is Jan’s Birthday, is also when we’re attending our first Immersive Van Gogh exhibit. Really looking forward to it.
It’s certainly possible, based on some felines I’ve known.
The ‘mouse delivery’ part of this reminds me of Karma back before she went blind. She had a collection of about 8 or so small multicolored fuzzy mice. There were red ones, blue ones, orange ones, etc. All bright colors. She would bat them around the rig, and then would often gather them into a pile until she wanted to play with them again.
One morning I found her staring down at the pile and then looking up at me. Wondering what she was so interested in, I looked closer at the pile. And saw a color I didn’t recognize
It was gray, kind of mouse-colored.
And then it moved.
At this point Karma reared up and struck. And it didn’t move anymore.
After she stared at the pile for a while longer, and nothing moved, she wandered off to nap on the dashboard.
What’s amazing is that somehow Karma associated the real mouse with her multi-colored playtoys, and put them all together. And when she came back later and found I had disposed of her new toy, she pawed through the pile looking for it.
