I toured Falling Water while in college.
The highlight of my "liberal arts" education.

Explains why I "had to" go back to school years later for something practical/useful.

Liberal Arts degrees are partially to satisfy one's parents that you are getting a degree in something. It does help to make a person's education well-rounded. There is merit in this. It seems as if education is more focused and thus narrower today. Anyway, you can pick a different major along the way. Don't scoff at your liberal arts education. It may not land you your dream job, but it might help with the ladies. At least you have more than one subject to intelligently discuss with them.

I've not been lucky enough to visit Fallingwater. I should put it on my "bucket list".

Getting old and having permanent facial nerve damage can really mess a person's looks up. He was a handsome guy when he was young. Weren't we all?

At least Andreas, who is 65 years old, seems comfortable with his appearance. Considering the beard and bald head, he's a bit of a wild man with a twinkle in his eye.

It was interesting, but I probably would have enjoyed it more had it had less of an "assignment" feel to it.
Regardless, I'm sure it was a sizable tax write-off for the Kaufmann family when they "donated" it to the WPC in the early 60's.

Also, I visited before the 2001 restoration.

Falling Water was falling apart before the restoration.

My wife and I visited Wright's 1963 Gordon house in Silverton, OR. It was dismantled and moved to its current site at the Oregon Gardens. The last private owners were going to demolish it. Fortunately, The Oregon Conservancy stepped in and save it.

Growing up in L.A. I was able to see several of his homes. The Storer house 1923 was located where I would frequently drive by it.

Weider Principles aka The Storer house

Sad News From Disney

This is so disappointing. CNN reported today that Walt Disney's new film called "Jet Black," the African-American version of "Snow White" has been cancelled.

All of the 7 dwarfs: Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Forger, Drive By, Homeboy, and Shank has refused to have their pictures taken and to sing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" because they say it offends black prostitutes.

They also say there ain’t no way in hell they’re gonna sing "It's off to work we go."

Looks like he tore the shit out of his biceps.
