Had .17" of rain last night - we're still not up to an inch of rain for the month of Septermber. And we sure could do without it during the Art Prize, but we aren't going to pick and choose when our rain comes along. Right now, the day is lovely but it would appear there is a huge chunk of rain aiming at us from across Lake Michigan, determined to mess up the thousands of visitors who are going to be milling around in downtown Grand Rapids. Maybe it will miss us. I hope so. The picture today is a motorcyle built to be 13' tall. Met the artist and he was telling us about some of the parts. The headlight is a hair dryer, the center piece is a Pontiac bumper...it's an accumulation of plenty of parts that add up to one interesting ArtPrize entry!
