SINSULL, how do you even know what melted yak butter smells like? Do they have Himalayn/Tibeten delis in NYC tht import the stuff? Are there yaks in Central Park now? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks, Jim for refreshing this. I thought it deserved more attention, but I thought that refreshing it myself was a little egoistic, so I didn't.

Right now, my own Signal Song seems to be "Lonesome Valley". You got to walk it by yourself......I'm getting along OK; better every day, but it's a long road back.

For some reason, the Signal Art/Painting in my life has been "Crows over a Wheatfield" by VanGogh......I have only seen prints and posters, but I wish I could see the original........such eleoquence in color. Another Signal Painting in my life is the Andrew Wyeth of the girl crawling towards a house/castle/town on a hill in a thunderstorm.......something about Toledo?

I first saw a print when I was about 10; the image has stayed with me ever since. I have felt like that girl many times.........it's a scary painting.
