Notable Story:
I some how ended up in Denver Colorado and had the burning desire to accumulate some opinions. It wasn't very easy for me to find a populated area to work since there, like in most of this country, you have to be in a car, where it proves more difficult to be asked or give your opinion. I am also apposed to cause any sort of vehicular hazards for an art project. My Denver guide Randie's only suggestion was the 16th Street Mall; in all of downtown Denver, this is apparently where you go to "SHOP". The Mall is like most I have been to before, with stores I knew all the names of and really brightly paint benches. There were even people movers or buses, which would wisp people from one end to the other, once again presenting me with the dilemma of becoming a road hazard. Once started, the accumulation went really well. People were responsive but more eager for me to move on than ask what I was doing. About halfway through the polling it started to HAIL. I am talking about mean bricks of ice shooting down at us. I couldn't let bellicose weather dissuade me from subjecting my body to the proud folk of Colorado. So with people hiding for shelter under awnings and eves, I would bounce up and ask them what they thought. The close quarters forced people who would normally side step me right into my bosom. Sadly our camera died so we have very few pictures of the magic, but that is the word I going to describe this one with: magic.

Process: On the streets and in a variety of public places I will approach people asking them the question, "Do I have a Perfect Body?"
