Due to continuing computer woes, I've had to leave aside many things I wished to comment upon, including, the recent
accidental destruction of a Picasso painting valued at millions of dollars. Ninme, Queen of Links, has the whole tale, which includes this:
The accident occurred as a gesturing Wynn, who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that affects peripheral vision, struck the painting with his right elbow, leaving a hole the size of a silver dollar...
My reaction to this news is best expressed by ninme reader Brett McS in her combox:
I guess it is a coincidence that a man with a vision defect is a collector of Picassos?
Don't worry, Mr. W, it's strictly platonic.
