At the time I captured this store, the Borders chain had already closed...although the shock of the fact was still taking its time to sink in.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 2011.
Borders Books' flagship Chicago location at 830 N. Michigan Ave. closed in January 2011, leaving the Magnificent Mile without a bookstore.
In 1938 Czechoslovakia mobilized against the German threats of war, but hat to give in to the Munich Agreement and withdraw from the border fortifications, even if the army was fully capable to stand against the Wehrmacht. After this not only Germany, but also Poland and Hungary ripped pieces of land from the country, and there were also extensive fights with insurgents, which cost lives of many Czechoslovak soldiers and gendarmes. Today it´s a tradition to reenact how the situation could be, when we would have defended ourselfs. It´s a fact that Hitler was affraid of the Czechoslovak military, which at that time had better tanks, more heavy guns, and a very effective fortification system. Of course we win in the reenactments :-)

Ouzo hoping a squirrel will show up in a tree.
The place we used to live at last year had lots of squirrels. Only 1 mile away, our new place doesn't. Ouzo hasn't lost hope.

My Border Collie Nic.
12 Months for Dogs - Since this month's theme is Ready, Set, Action, I decided that this would be a good time to share a video of my Nic. I love of all the details that can be seen in slow motion video. Fortunately for me, Nic is a very cooperative model! :-)
I am still thinking about what I will do for my photo for this month.

The Missouri Monument at Vicksburg. Being a border state both sides had Missouri units in the ranks. Often the lines were close enough that Missourians would call back and forth to inquire about the status and well-being of family, friends and neighbors back home. The left bronze panel depicts attacking Union soldiers from Missouri while the right panel depicts defending Confederate units from the state.

Benvenuti nel nuovo millennio
Due anni dopo questa sparatoria nella scuola [Columbine], le Torri gemelle di New York crollarono come castelli di sabbia.
Questo attacco terrorista uccise tremila lavoratori.
Il presidente George W. Bush ricevette, così, la licenza di uccidere. Proclamò la guerra infinita, la guerra mondiale contro il terrorismo, e poco dopo invase l’Afghanistan.
Questo altro attacco terrorista uccise tremila contadini.
Vampate, esplosioni, grida, maledizioni: scoppiavano gli schermi della televisione. Ogni giorno ripetevano la tragedia delle Torri, che si confondeva con gli scoppi delle bombe che cadevano sull’Afghanistan.
In un paese sperduto, lontano dal manicomio universale, Naùl Ojeda era seduto per terra accanto al nipotino di tre anni. Il bambino disse: “Il mondo non sa dov’è la sua casa”.
Stavano guardando delle cartine.

Went for a walk to the University, it was homecoming. (Arizona lost: Utah 34, Arizona 21.)
Went to the library to see if a Google search on their computers turned up "666isMONEY' by typing in "666," it did.

Border Dynamics
. . . . Last year, they [Alberto Morackis and Guadalupe Serrano] attracted widespread attention in Mexico and the United States for "Border Dynamics," a set of four monumental human figures that leaned against the wall in the same location. The piece traveled to the UA last fall, and stood outside the student union--complete with an improvised border wall--for two months.
The 14-foot painted metal figures extended outward from the fence, with their feet in the Mexican soil and only their hands or backs touching the corrugated metal. The message was ambiguous. Either they were trying to push the wall down, climb over it, or keep back the hordes on the other side.
The uncertain fate of "Border Dynamics" is instructive about the pitfalls of political border art. Now in storage, it never took its planned place on the Arizona side of the border wall. . . .
