In the Sticks by Nathan Cooper for September 20, 2011

Red sky at morning, sailor take warning.

This is a reference to “White Center” by Mark Rothko. See http://www.nga.gov/feature/rothko/classic2a.html for the entire painting. It sold for $73M (not a typo) in 2007.

BTW, I’m enjoying this week so far. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
