For Doug B: Salty Peanuts

"This artwork, consisting of approximately 120 used saxophones, is a
tribute to the role of jazz in San Francisco culture. The saxophone
collage is flanked above and below by the opening bars of Dizzy
Gillespie's famous composition "Salt Peanuts"."

Incidentally, I just got frisked when going through security at the
international terminal here; I didn't receive this honor in Seattle.
From this one might conclude that the average traveler at Seatac
looks more like a terrorist than the average traveler at the
international terminal at SFO. I would tend to agree, actually. The
cats here are pretty well-dressed. And then there's me in my hiking
pants...
