But It's a Dry Heat

What’s That Smell?

Ah, Fall in New Mexico. When the air is filled with the tantalizing smell of roasting chile.

*Sniffs*

Oh, wait. That’s not chile.

Crap. I set myself on fire again.

Occupational hazard of working with welders and plasma torches.

Coming up, we’ve got two Art in the Park shows and a holiday show over the Thanksgiving weekend. If my motto wasn’t “Why do today what you can procrastinate tomorrow,” I’d already have a vast inventory of metal objects d’art.

But this is me. As of the last show, I was coasting along on the fumes of last year’s unsold art. But it had to go and get itself sold last month. Now I’ve got a scant two months to make all kinds of lovely metal tchochkes for the holiday show.

What’s that smell? Panic.
