Much Fahdodo About Nothing

“They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that might have been sufficient back in the day but, with word inflation over the years, a thousand words really won’t get you much today. Hell, even the president can reach a thousand words in a few crazed 4 a.m. Tweets. So, sit back, relax, scroll down, and look over the following images and, if you’re left with an appetite for more and they aren’t enough to make your mind comfortably numb, then return here and read this again—slowly—savoring every syllable.”—Mark Addison Kershaw

ATLANTA Georgia—(Weekly Hubris)—January 2019—It was requested of me to add a paragraph along with my visual contributions here, as an enhancement to those images because they are sorely lacking words. And I welcome this opportunity because, frankly, I have a lot of important things to say on a lot of important topics. As James Thurber probably said on a first date, “I’m so glad you’re a reader: I’m just full of words and images.”

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and that might have been sufficient back in the day but, with word inflation over the years, a thousand words really won’t get you much today. Hell, even the president can reach a thousand words in a few crazed 4 a.m. Tweets. So, sit back, relax, scroll down, and look over the following images and, if you’re left with an appetite for more and they aren’t enough to make your mind comfortably numb, then return here and read this again—slowly—savoring every syllable. I’m sure that after a second helping of these rich words you’ll be raising both hands to cover your eyes and saying, “Oh, thank you, but no, I couldn’t possibly add any more words to my brain right now—all full.”
