Apocalypse Not Now
I can’t recall from my wasted youth whether it was the immortal Stan Freberg or the almost equally immortal Firesign Theatre that did a play by play of the end of the world. Or was it Bob & Ray?
In any case, I snapped this in Harvard Square three days ago.
Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard Square, Judgment Day Bus 5/18/11
This I snapped in E. Dorset, Vermont, a few minutes ago.

I like the bird better. Jump right on Ian Morris “Why the west Rules for Now” to see what you think about big bad times acoming.

I second Pat (hi, Pat!) and Anne’s emotions. But can’t help notice the color coordination between the finch and Family truck–and the suggestion that the bird is the Judge!
(Meanwhile, I think it was Bob and Ray who did the play-by-play…but my memory’s tainted, too…)

It’s always been interesting to me that in the Native American Tradition birds are an imagine for flying above the chaos and destruction.
The sparrow, small like the finch, is the symbol of “knowing your own self-worth.” If a little sparrow can survive why not all of us?

I guess I will have to continue focusing on long-term investment strategies.
