Forever Watching


This larger-than-life fellow with the narrow glasses is forever watching the traffic roll buy on McClintock Road in Tempe.  He's on the side of an apartment building in the Omnia McClintock Apartments.  The happy observer was painted by Andy Brown known as ABRO as a muralist.

A WORD..about the passing of John McCain.  Although I was often opposed to some of his political decisions, there is no doubt he was a hero and a patriot who represented the state of Arizona nationally for 36 years first as U.S. Representative and over 30 years as one of our two Senators.  His humanity and statesmanship is something to be applauded especially in these times of division and incivility.  Rest in peace Senator, you will be missed.

Interesting and amusing.

I am not American but I do have a lot of respect for John McCain.

Forever watching with a smile!!

As for John McCain, I am very sad as well. He was a man with integrity who loved his country and served it well. He put his country above himself. The total opposite of the president. The worse president ever.

What a fun mural, Sharon!
John McCain seemed to be a man with principles and honor even if you didn't agree with his politics. You country will miss him at this time especially.

A cute mural Sharon, thanks for contributing.
I'm not American but I also had a feeling McCain was an upstanding man, I'm sure he will be missed.

...this is neat!

That's a clever idea -- the artist obviously thought about the building and what would work well there.

I could not agree more about John McCain. He was respectable and principled, unlike so many of our current crop of lawmakers!

Cool mural!

A man of integrity, regardless of political views. Unlike the buffoon in the Oval Office.

Bill said...

Very cool mural!

That is an odd mural!
I agree about John McCain. He will be missed.
