"Through her stories, I had learned to love and admire this mysterious race of tall, hairy people called Bigfoot. I chose not to use that name because it sounded somewhat demeaning. (Their feet are not large for their height and weight. They are in perfect proportion. They only are large compared to human feet.)"
From Joan Ocean's weblog describing her experiences and communications with Bigfoot. To the left, pictured, is a drawing by Bigfoot given to her. If you have any clue as to what it might mean she'd like to know. I have my theories....

OK, the Travelers Tales Tibet book wasn't a COMPLETE waste of time (close, though). One story piqued my interest - by Alexandra David-Néel, a Belgian/French woman who made her way into forbidden Tibet in the 1920's, and wrote a variety of books about her experiences. Which look to be very interesting, although I now have to bide my time while they're delivered (an early Christmas gift to myself, what can I say...).
Read more about her here: Wikipedia on Alexandra David-Néel or take a peek inside Magic and Mystery in Tibet on Google Books. A bit of searching might even find you a .pdf version of it, but really, who reads books that way?

Art that people loved enough to report stolen. Who knows, maybe you'll turn one of these up at your next garage sale?
But seriously, there are some very fine Old Masters missing as well. Worth a peruse, as, unlike galleries, this is art that wealthy people actually bought and loved.
