photo for 2008-03-28: the mural at cass park
If you go ice skating at Cass Park (or, now that it's spring, if you come to roller derby practices) you will see this mural:


Yes, that's right. One side has an angry evil octopus, the other has angry evil snowmen, aliens, and killer bees.
I don't know who painted this. It's as beautiful as it is nightmare-inducing.
Here are some more views of pain, suffering, and a small amount of fun-in-the-sun (the park also has a swimming pool):

Here, a girl is being chased by a snowman, right into the path of the red-toothed evil snowman you can see in the photo above. In the background, a UFO is abducting most of the landscape's remaining objects.

And here, some people swim (enjoying themselves or eating fish, according to their preference) while a girl who was flying finds herself stung. Maybe that's in the pool rules: no running, no horseplay, no flying?
