What better image for the first of April? Artist Fred Conlon‘s Gnome Be Gones are a big hit at my house, even when one is lumbering out of the primordial sludge, leaving a trail of muddy footprints in its wake.

Eww.

Hampton fire

James Lee — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:00:49 +0000

A charred fire hydrant is an ironic symbol of the fire that destroyed a block of businesses during near-hurricane force winds on February 26, 2010. A fire broke out in the Surf Hotel, and an entire block went up in flames before it could be extinguished. All the destroyed businesses were unoccupied at the time.

Wind gusts as high as 68 MPH were recorded at a nearby airport, just short of hurricane strength, adding to the difficulties that night. Because of the storm, the fire department was stretched very thin, with its crew members already deployed to deal with other local emergencies like downed power lines and transformer fires.

Bit of a shout out to my Dad, whose art often includes rust.

From the imaginative mind of artist Fred Conlon comes the Superman Gnome be Gone, my entry in the monthly scavenger hunt for “rusty nail.”
