the spirit of Kansas City

Rick Montgomery of the Kansas City Star wrote a nice piece today about the steadfast optimism he sees in Kansas City. We certainly need a few positive happenings given all the layoffs announced last week. The Chiefs beat the Raiders today, 16-10. That was sweet. Rick referred to a painting called the Spirit Of Kansas City by Norman Rockwell, painted shortly after the flood of ’51. It appears the fellow, armed with blueprints and a slide rule, just realized that his builder walked off the job site. This white collar engineer also has a steer behind him which is a worry. Maybe his banker is taking a holiday in that airplane?
