My man and I drove up the coast in northern California to a small town called Westport, north of Fort Bragg. The place we stayed at had a lot of whale things, suggestive artwork about getting it on, and an outside snow globe museum (two shelves). My favorite was the one with a brain. My second favorite was a snow globe topped with a small plastic figurine of The Statue of Liberty. It reminds me of one I have, specifically the only snow globe I have. I got it at a sidewalk sale in San Francisco one summer when I lived there. It's Mother Mary holding her hands in prayer, dressed in a pale blue cloak. Her face is two black dots and one red. When I got her four years ago, the globe was full of water, and little white flecks swam around when I shook it. Over the years the water evaporated, and now it's just Mary, air, and a moat of fine powder around her feet. The caption written on the base in gold is smudged. What's left is "Our Lady" :
