Ford’s American icon continues to evolve with the visceral performance and styling enthusiasts crave. The world-famous pony car has been living with us in our driveways, on our roads, at our racetracks, and on our TV screens for nearly six decades now. Now in its 7th generation, the maturation of Ford Performance continues with the arrival of the 2024 Mustang in the form of the Mustang GT, Mustang Dark Horse, and the efficient-focused Mustang EcoBoost that we specifically challenged through various motorsports courses at Irwindale Speedway in California during the national press launch.

I was reading a book about Great White Sharks and was reminded that I took this picture at the Minnesota Zoo back in July. Just thought I'd share.
Cavalry tactics evolved somewhat in the Civil War. The use of the classic cavalry saber decreased drastically. As John Mosby, one of the most celebrated cavalrymen of the Confederacy put it, "the only real use I ever heard of their [sabers] being put to was to hold a piece of meat over the fire for frying."
Cavalrymen led safer, less Spartan lives than their Infantry counterparts. This, combined with natural intra-service rivalries, led to a general resentment amongst the infantry for the cavalry. One Union soldier went so far as to describe the cavalry as "vampyres hanging on the infantry--doing but little fighting but first in for the spoils."

"Another necessary ingredient for terrace growth is the mineral calcium carbonate. Thick layers of sedimentary limestone, deposited millions of years ago by vast seas, lie beneath the Mammoth area. As ground water seeps slowly downward and laterally, it comes in contact with hot gases charged with carbon dioxide rising from the magma chamber. Some carbon dioxide is readily dissolved in the hot water to form a weak carbonic acid solution. This hot, acidic solution dissolves great quantities of limestone as it works up through the rock layers to the surface hot springs. Once exposed to the open air, some of the carbon dioxide escapes from solution. As this happens, limestone can no longer remain in solution. A solid mineral reforms and is deposited as the travertine that forms the terraces." -- mms.nps.gov/yell/features/mammothtour/index.htm
All I can really say is that this show was bigger and better than I had ever hoped for. Evolve took on a life of its own and so many of the artists shared their own powerful stories of overcoming whatever life has tossed along their path.
Over 20 photographers, ceramicists and artists were part of this event. Gay, straight, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, Black Latino, White, Armenian, poor, broke, rich, wealthy, HIV positive, HIV negative and even two homeless individuals were all artists in this show. The was a direct representation of what Los Angeles looks like and together we showed why we are the City of Angels
About 400 attended the opening at Art Share-LA in Downtown Los Angeles. The event was a complete success with people coming from as far north as Sacramento as far south as San Diego. New York, Denver and even two folks from Atlanta made the trek to the Evolve opening. I was completely blown away.
Big thanks to all the artists for their beautiful pieces, my family, friends and supporters for continuing to embrace my work through Project KengiKat and Do Something Saturday and to everyone who donated and attended the event I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
The Moroccan caftan is a practical garment that has evolved over centuries. In the last twenty years it has exploded onto Morocco’s high fashion scene. This colorful exhibition traces how history, geography, craftsmanship, national pride, and tradition have contributed to the caftan’s contemporary allure.
