On the pandemic . . .

We assembled this from scraps. Hopefully, it works as a whole. This actually took longer than it should have. For the illustration, I wanted a fender bender photo we took back in 2006. So I googled it with google image. And I find a painting we did the same year that's all over the net now with various people claiming to have done it. I knew it was us because of the paints. Remember those spin-art things? We got the paint from one of those and used it sparingly -- usually when we were doing a painting of a war resister for a story here. And it was that paint and I could tell what Kat did on the painting and I cold tell what Ava and C.I. did and I remember drawing an X myself on one side of the painting because Betty's kids -- who helped with it as well -- said, "No!" I x-ed over their favorite part. But anyway, I was just kind of surprised to see it all over the internet especially since various people were claiming that they had created it. It's no work of art. I don't know why anyone would want to pretend that they did it themselves.
