I assume you flew into Denver?
What's your thoughts on the controversial paintings/murals inside?
GB, thanks for sending me the link and images of the murals. Now that you mention it, yes I do remember them. The horse is impossible not to see. You see it off to the left about 500 yards before you get to the airport facility. I don't see anything remarkable about the horse.
The murals are not to my taste.
BTW: I have been pronouncing "murals" incorrectly. I say and spell it "murials". I have a congenital hearing issue. It was revealed when I started school. Throughout my life, I have mispelled and mispronounced several words because I was hearing them diferently than they were. For example, "nextdoor", I thought they were saying "nextstore". It was only a few years ago that I realized, I had misused that word for over 50 years. A woman I worked with was over-heard by me making a comment to a fellow worker. She was a new public relations employee and was assigned to a high profile enforcement action I was working. She was raised in New York. She commented to one of the Enforcement Specialist who was a good friend of mine, "Ron does a great job but he talks funny." Russ replied, "We all don't talk like Walter Cronkite." I thought that was a good response.
I never took notes in school. I relied on my own effort to obtain the class material. In a couple of classes, I had to ask the professor where he was getting his lecture material. It was an advantage. I over prepared for my classes because I would dig deeper then the class required. It never hurts to "learn".
PS: My son has great word skills. Every word is spoken precisely. I saw him at Thanksgiving. He still corrects the old man. I enjoy it. It is cute to watch how precise he maintains himself.
PS2: There is a person on CT that has a more extreme hearing problem than I. It has influenced his writing. Someone made a comment on his inability to express himself. I am cautious about saying certain things that might poke someone in the wrong spot. I acknowledge I post messages in which the content aggravates some but I hope I avoid being inadvertently personal.
