NAKED ISN'T GOOD IN KANSAS

Sam Weinhold sent me this article that appeared in the Seattle Times about the ball of twine at Cawker City. Cher Heller Olson is the aunt of one of Sam's college buddies. Olson, a retired art teacher and the town's new head of tourism, has created an art walk on the prairie. More than 40 colorful "masterpieces" hang in windows downtown, beckoning tourists to do more than just gawk at the ball, which turned 50 this year.

This is a good read and offers yet another twist on that old ball of twine. It also displays a very creative mind....and I like that.
