The e mail I got the picture from was just a collection of odd, unrelated photos someone had sent to her, so no, no explanation there. She and I were on the phone talking about it last night when I posted this here. I told her I would run it past the Smartest Group if People I Know. It must have really been on my mind when I went to bed last night because I DREAMED about the damned thing! That it was running around in MY back yard, and I could never get a good look at it… creepy as hell, actually. ---

Is it not just a wierd sculpture of nothing in particular that happens to be placed in a garden? Just try and picture that image in an art gallery, it wouldnt stand out at all… Although if it is a dog on its hind legs, I bet its moonwalking… ---
