" On a better day, this article could have made people smile."


I'm sure it did make people smile today. Smiles are what people need. The world is a place with some very bitter people in it. Bitterness poisons people like a toxic cloud. It's our duty to help cheer up people, especially in times like today.

I remember many times playing my music in the subway, and not thinking that my little effort was really affecting anyone. So many people looked so sad or bitter or angry coming off BART. But if I was gone for a few days and came back, people who were otherwise fairly morose would tell me that they appreciated the levity in their day.

As to the photos, it's bizarre that the photos used didn't show the wheel, since that's the most visible part and it was talked about the most. The photos on the website were good, too.

Interesting that Don and you are "Don Bruce and his wife", and coming from a woman, too. Very odd.

But heck, I'm sure the article will inspire others to try things just for the heck of doing them.

As for the look, I thought you were doing the cool artist look. After all, you're an artist now. Someone else said you're an artist, so that makes you an artist.
