*By all reports, Gaudi is dead, but you wouldn't
guess it by the orgy of construction machinery that
surrounds his Sagrada cathedral.
*I'm kinda surprised the locals haven't simply lifted the
cathedral bodily and supported it on a framework
of iron, the way they did with that bullfighting arena.
By the way, I have now learned that that arena
has been gutted and suspended by no less a High-Tech Modern
authority than Richard Rogers. Man, that guy
sure digs girders.

*A cathedral one always has with one, but it's
kind of a privilege to see a European cathedral with that
much dazzling, top-end, wholly contemporary,
European construction hardware all over it.
