It’s Wednesday at RSNA. Went to the Sear’s Tower last night, which is the highest tower in the US. Interesting mural history of Chicago, though mysteriously nothing about the impact of Prohibition and the rise of organised crime under Al Capone. Guess that’s one best forgotten (though how about the lessons of Prohibition?). Even managed to see a mention of Lincoln Logs, which has got to be the most obscure cultural reference picked up in a Bill Hicks sketch which I’ll ever make..

It’s Tuesday at RSNA. The deer season started today, though apparently your not allowed to kill deer within ‘city limits’. They even had a couple of TV minutes on the start of the seaon, with deer running around the city no doubt trying to escape the start of the hunt. Greg, the guy helping set up the site, mentioned that what deer do with the start of the hunt is send out the does first, while the bucks stay back under cover – very wise. Anyhow just to give it the real US ironic twist, on the same day there’s a big story about some bacl guy who was shot 51 times (51 states of death) by the NY police, just a day or so before his wedding.
