Postmortem
Harry: So this is the list of winners and losers, and the model photos. Which do you think won?
Udge: Well, G already told me that the winners were all groups of little pseudo-houses, so ...
(Looks at the models, considers carefully.)
Udge (pointing): Not this, but either this one or that.
Harry (grinning): Why "not this?"
Udge: Because it's ugly as shit.
Harry: That was the winner.
Udge: Bah.

Astonishing how many people seem to have been born without an aesthetic sense. Or is it drilled out of them by their years in hideous schools? Someone should do a study about that... It's actually slightly better (out here) than it was thirty years ago, when absolutely everything going up seemed to be ugly, but I still often pause in helpless wonderment. Surely somebody, at some stage of the process, should have noticed that this thing was going to be an eyesore?
hello Udge! glad you're feeling a bit better ... just wanted to thank you for your tip about The Times of Harvey Milk ... just watched it ... most excellent. left me with a tear in my eye and some steel in my backbone ... :)
Must be a public works project, for some reason politicians seem to have no artistic or beauty sense at all.
