We were so far back in the woods, they almost had to pipe in sunlight.   — Roy Rogers

“The Long Rider” is a portrait of Roy Rogers, Trigger’s lifelong friend-come- taxidermist, here stretched wide as the western sky.  Yep.

My very young daughter scribbled something in the lower corner of the canvas with a crayon, which I traced with paint to serve as my signature.  What does it mean?  I don’t know — what does mean mean?  I don’t know that either.  We’d have to ask a meanie.  But, at the end of the day, the sun sets, and we always get a new one the next day from Africa.  Hacuna matata.  And happy trails.
