De-Inventory

There’s this Vietnamese food cart around the corner from Kate’s office. They sell the most sublime sandwiches; tender pork with Sriracha (maybe?), long slices of cucumber to cool down the spice, and served up on french bread with cilantro tossed on top of the whole thing. Kate and I had lunch there today. I met her at her office and while I was there I discovered that the PSU library had just de-inventoried their entire image-archive and sent it to the Art Department. The archive of about 100 folios has apparently been maintained for a couple of decades. The contents of each folio seem to have been carefully clipped from years of magazines and filed into well labeled folders. Like this for example: Coins! (the exclamation point is put there by me because I think these collection labels are more fun with emphasis.)

Another favorite was Parachutes! And the best was Parades! When I get these scanned in I’ll post ‘em up.
