Funny thing,the artists try to make those art contests a little more open,but it's actually a closed-circuit sort of thing,I've noticed.
The winners do seem to mostly be close friends,although I can understand that it would be more comfortable than giving that sort of stuff out to a total Internet stranger.

I rode a ATV for the first time today! It was...interesting. I drove it up from our neighbor's house up to ours,a good four miles. Sure beat walking it.
The people who brought it are gone,unfortunately,but that's to be expected.
One heck of a storm tonight.
