the
                              statement on the other side is false
I brought John Berry a fine sandwich from The Dock.
That's the least one can do for an artist working on a
public commission, this one at  the Interstate 5 under-
pass near 66th Street
in Seattle. He's painting several
roadside columns a reflective silver
, above which he'll
adhere foot-high letters to spell out a couple of para-
doxical statements lifted from Richard Farina:
THE STATEMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE IS TRUE
Then, when you walk around to the other side...
THE STATEMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE IS FALSE
It's a little something to think about. Eventually, there's
going to be a skatepark here. I look forward to that day.
