Cutting the Avocado Tree
I’ve been cutting the tops off the avocado tree. The branches have grown up into the wires, and that’s been a challenge. I think I’m supposed to call an arborist to deal with it, but I’ve been using a rope and some tension, and tactical cutting, bit by bit.

What Are You Shooting For? by Roberto Rubalcava et. al. 1993
This mural no longer exists. I thought it was one of the best ones in Los Angeles, because it was so postmodern, but also specific to its location and time. I didn’t realize, until I did research, that it was created in 1993, a long time ago. It was created not long after the term…
