If you dust the Kinkade hard enough with a wet enough cloth, you might wipe the crap painting away and then you’d have a nice clean canvas to admire. Or you could swirl it into a Whistler-like nocturne (but with that touch of light).
Wow. All I can say about that graph (other than it’s sharp-looking) is what a great example it is of how looking at averages can present some really useless results. (”These people” spend less than $1000/mo for shelter? Wish I knew where they live!)
