the ribbed rungs of this aluminum extension ladder look a lot like the train we disembarked at wisconsin dells, a name which until today conjured images of the area's famous sandstone rock formations, but from now on i'll always associate with water parks, go karts, and other all-american tourist attractions, reminding me of the florida resort towns where my family vacationed in the '70s, with commercial strips dedicated to iffy restaurants, t-shirt shops, and self-styled museums--well, true kitsch never goes out of style! we're here on a two-day detour to help cathi schwalbe wrap a 19th century barn in fabric as part of the Farm/Art DTour, which is how i found myself high up a ladder duct taping strips of foam along the sharp edges of metal roof to protect the sheer white polyester from catching and tearing. after two days and nights in coach it was good to be out in the fresh air with something to do. |
