the view

it looks like the building has 'topped out.' the view is blocked, or should I write scarred,  or to be PC, say it is enhanced, because it adds to diversity. no, the view is blocked.

it is hard not to be inspired, obstructed, accomodated by buildings in nyc. last night was the 're-opening' of the guggenheim museum on 89th and park in nyc, and it was no fee evening until 8. i've waited two years to make this visit. it was a rare experience, falling into the inspired category. it is hard to imagine how any art man-made object displayed in that edifice could get a fair chance to impress visitors. the architecture is remarkable. all these years after its original design, it dwarfs the collection of modern, mixed use art (quite difficult to understand the inspiration for it) that it presently houses. ayn rand would have been proud, i think.

what would ayn rand think of alan greenspan is another question worthy of consideration. or, as ayn rand may have put it, who is alan greenspan? we're left searching... the best answer i've heared but in response to another question about what is iceland, who knew iceland is a hedge fund covered by glaciers? so, who is greenspan. the ayn rand walking tour guide in nyc proudly displays a picture of greenspan as an early supporter and 'objectivist' at an ayn rand meeting in new york, and even a contributor to an objectivist journal. bit of irrational exuberance wouldn't you say?
