SKS: Oz Quote

Let’s see if the internet will tell me who said this quote. My guess is Glinda the good witch.

Answer: the internet returned a result from the book (I was thinking movie, even though I’ve read the books) and identified the speaker as “the old woman” After skimming back several clicks—the site I was looking at only had about two paragraphs at at time per page—I see that she identifies as a good witch and the Witch of the North. No mention that her name is Glenda. I wonder if that’s a movie thing? How could I ever find the answer to THAT question????

Sara reports that she has submitted her file for early tenure! Also that on a Tuesday, the week has already felt like it was six months long.

Ole Bolle Troll

Someone at work clued me into this delightful public art project brought to us by the Scan Design Foundation: six trolls built by Thomas Dambo scattered throughout the Pacific Northwest. Here is the Portland one: Ole Bolle

As you can see, Ole Bolle is quite popular

The trolls are built from recycled materials, and you can see how nicely those recycled materials came together.

Look at that foot!

And that hand with fingernails.

Once you look in the door, you can see what the troll is after. I don’t blame him, especially that delicious looking cake.

They did a great job of making his face very kind.

Here is an attempt at a mom-and-me self portrait. No dice though. It was just me.

So here is mom with the troll.
