These mini observations are like Will Rogers finding his humor in the newspapers and the people who govern us. These observations are based upon the real people I see in our wonderful city, New Orleans. “Everything is funny as long as it is happening to someone else.” ― Will Rogers

"Will Ryman built a walk-in wood structure, coated in gold resin and packed with ideas about American history. He also packed the cabin with things that shaped our history: bullets, arrowheads, cotton bolls, chains, sparkplugs, iPhones, lumps of coal, and much, much more."

Having third grade students close their eyes before entering the sculpture caught 6 little girls by surprise. They had guest before entering the sculpture that it might be Santa's house. They marveled, as do most visitors to this intriguing piece of Americana, at the diversity of objects used to complete the interior of the cabin.
This representation of America has many of the students spreading the word. "You must see the cabin." They whisper to one another as they pass other touring groups.
I encourage all to see for yourselves what Mr. Ryman has created.
Ask yourself why you are standing on the chains on the floor of the gold gilded log cabin?
