Susan at Stony River gives us a challenge each Monday to stare at an illustration she has provided and then come up with a story in 140 characters or fewer. That 140 includes all punctuation and spaces. Challenging, yes, but fun. And you meet the nicest people playing!
So here's the illustration:
And my entry for the week is lame, but my brain is still on Mountain Time (at least that's my excuse):
Before Juan Valdez picked coffee,
he cross sectioned rare trees,
coated them with grease,
and sold them to stupid Yanquis as ART.

That sounds like a pretty accurate reflection of the art for investment community!
well done - not lame at all!
We all have to try different things until we find our Niche in Life. This was good.
SLMom;
Your's is so different. I love it.
So full of story that I wanted more! Great.
Juan was certainly an innovative entrepreneur! I like it--unique and clever!
He does look a little like Juan... LOL!
I've heard those home improvement show designers say "if you frame it, it's art." Guess Juan substituted grease for frame. Fun slant on this week's MM.
Ah, they can sell anything nowadays :-)
Nice one.
He does look like he should be out picking coffee beans ! Nice! thanks
Great one! :-)
Juan Valdez, very funny. I had to google him though. I'm not much of a coffee drinker.
Loved your story, pretty cool.
Art can be anything that sells. The best part is it's value increases with age. How nice!
Valdez and his tree bark! Good twist!
And of course he had no trouble selling them! There's a sucker born every minute.
What an enterprising man! LOL
I second quilly on this! Sucker born every minute. This was great, even if on Mountain time. Glad to hear you had a good trip. Happy New Year.
