[Vung Tau, 4/16/24] For two days, I’ve been thinking about John Sloan and Grant Wood. Each attempt to start a new article had to be aborted, however. On top of my exhaustion, I had also been subjected to an elaborate sabotage, in the form of dancing women. Living just half a block from Triangle Park, I must walk by there at least twice daily. Nothing is more disorienting than these women dancing, and they’re always dancing. Since many are middle-aged, they can’t possibly wiggle their asses for even 15 minutes, so as soon as I’m out of sight, they collapse. I’m certain there’s a squad garrisoned there overnight, just in case I walk by at, say, 3AM.
Such beautiful art. Thanks, Linh. And beautiful dancing women! I'm 77 and love to dance. We're having a 420 party on Saturday with my husband's band playing oldies rock and roll. Party on!
You mention that photography was beginning to challenge realism by hand in the early 20th century. Back then, the artist's advantage was still his ability to depict imagined scenes. Now in the 21st century, AI is making its bid to replace human imagination--we read that AI can produce an "imagined" scene on command from a sketchy human verbal command, at least as long as you're not too fussy about the color or gender of the characters. (It's a feature, not a bug!)
My stepmother is 81, and still dancing up a storm almost every day. She even goes on cruises and other vacations where the dancing is the central activity. She just quit playing in her soccer league a few years ago. All that movement does her obvious good--she's by far the healthiest and most active octogenarian I've ever seen.

I love the dancing women! All so attractive.
