That's an incredible image, Mitch -- and does seem exactly like the painting in "The Day of the Locust." Is it a collage? Pray tell.

Looking at the news and out the window, the "Day of the Locust" was exactly what I thought of today. One good Santa Ana wind and we've got "The Burning Of Los Angeles" writ large and in flaming letters. Scary.
