Here in Houston, we have a month-long party that just happens to have livestock, so we call it a rodeo, but it’s more like a carnival, party, month-long series of concerts… and a gigantic art show showcasing student work. This looks like something I might see while walking through Reliant Arena… :)

Oh, that is so good. I wrote a story using your art—I sent you a DM.

It’s a little more complicated than that. We don’t NEED anyone’s oil, we’re a net exporter nowadays… but we do like stability and Saudi Arabia helps keep things stable in an unstable part of the world.

Except for the Captain Canuck shirt, that could be literally anywhere in North America in the 70s! My mom (who lived in Indiana/Kentucky at the time) had a picture with her friends that looked very similar to that…

What stands out to me is that, nowadays, there would be zero little kids in that picture. Among everyone I know who’s about my age, I know exactly one person with kids…
