Notes: out to Jack in the Box for jumbo Jack and fries and large coffee...I visualized before a sketch of the someone handing me my order through the window, which would have been complicated to remember!...and then ahead of me I saw the arm and gloved hand and soda-that's it for today!..lol...last night, browsing the riot clips, I saw the one of Lou Carrera crouched in the gallery seats, and, and noted the seats!...the upholstery...the decoration is the Ephesus Greek Key...this version of Greek Keys has the Swastika in the center...this motif goes way back, but notably found in the ruins of Ephesus where once stood the Temple to Artemis of Ephesus...one of the ancient Seven Wonders...scholars curious as to why the Germans, then Nazis, adopted the swastika, have tracked it to a lead statue of Artemis found in the ruins of Troy...the vagina on the statue is a swastika...this is hard to find...brb...
