[Magdalen] Happy birthday, George!

[Lynn Ronkainen]

The Google mast design today is actually Mexican paper flags... usually made 
of tissue paper and adorning Mex and Tex/Mex restaurants in the southwest 
and in Mexico. Normally they are a cut out design, not letterings. The Day 
of the Dead is VERY BIG in Mexico and with their scattered emigrants. 
They're usually about 12"x18" and hang close together as pictured, stretched 
across rooms and festooned in open areas above the crowds.

here's one of many links  (loaded fast and you get the idea....)

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
