Well, I think this is pretty cool and amazing. (my real name is Mary) These were signed while they were in Seattle on July 19th. I took all three pics during the last tour :D

This is
friggin' amazing. The artistry of that. The next time any of you see someone selling something they have made and think, 'wow, that's expensive' or 'I could do that myself,' step down off your arrogant high horse and take a minute to realize how much work goes into making something like this. The cost of the material, the time.

Okay, maybe you CAN make this yourself, but at what cost? You have to go out and buy the tools, buy the materials and then your time is worth something. What would YOU pay yourself as an hourly wage to create something amazing?

And yes, there are simple crafts that cost barely anything, but is their effort and time worth less because the craft is simple?

Sometimes I simply love humanity for our way of learning a little at a time until we know amazing things.

Amazing photography, and very cool on the signatures. I get very silly giddy when someone I admire signs something to me. Dumb, but I just get high.

and for those who don't know, Neil Peart is a very good author. Ghost Rider--Travels on the Healing Road was suggested to me by Tery during a time when I needed help, support.
