Judge not?

I was asked to judge an art show at an elementary school. There was a rubric (Hey Richard, I can use this word you taught me!) to follow, but it was HARD. Objectivity is impossible, simply impossible. We are all made up of different opinions, tastes, and experiences. De gustibus non est disputandum – my Very Wise Dad used to love to say this. It means “there’s no accounting for taste” or “it is useless to argue over matters of taste”.  I have been on the receiving end of these judged shows, and don’t usually fare too well, so it was weird to be the judge for a change. The best part was being in the area of the county where I grew up ; such a very clear day.

Castle Rocks are very clearly delineated in this view – on the right side.
