Penelope

I found this sad little poster in the mail slot today. Here's a list of possible locations for a tortoise named Penelope to hide out in NE Portland:

In someone's kiddy pool

The freezer section of the grocery store

Third base on the baseball field  

Under a rose bush

On the back of a bus

Inside someone's bicycle basket

Next to a chicken coop

Wandering down Martin Luther King Boulevard  

On a chair in the E and A nail salon

Beneath the water fountain at Irving Park

At Dalos Ethiopian restaurant

 In the jaws of a raccoon

Tuesday with Bas Jan Ader

Bastiaan Johan Christiaan "Bas Jan" Ader (1942-1975) was a Dutch multidisciplinary artist who explored themes of identity and departure in his short, but significant art life. Ader was lost at sea in 1975 between Cape Cod, Massachusetts, United States and Ireland, when he set out to sea from Cape Cod in a small sailing boat as part of an attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean. His empty boat eventually washed up on the coast of Ireland. There is some speculation that his final demise (and the way he went about getting there) was his ultimate performance. You can see more of Bas Jan Ader's work on this lovely website.
