The
inflatable dinosaur, toothy mouth wide open in a silent scream, tried
to attract business to a gigantic car wash. It made me smile. I took a
picture. Put it on Facebook and Twitter.
Maybe
it’s the spirit of the times, or some kind metaphor.
Mostly, it's
kind of funny.
Is
this what a national emergency looks like?
Forget
the wall. The monsters are already here.
Silly,
but here.
A
week later, the dinosaur was deflated, a pile of rumpled fabric with
teeth and claws.
Maybe
that’s what a national emergency looks like.
What
could have happened? Random gunfire? A switchblade attack? Orders
from headquarters?
Everything
becomes extinct eventually. Even silly national emergencies.
Hopefully, it will at least provide us with some interesting
artifacts to look back on.
Maybe
it's art. At least it's amusing.
