Always an Emergency

The Church Report, on line one of the Forward, lets us all know: "Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency." As of 2024, that is 91 years. When will it stop?

This stone piece shown here is titled ALWAYS AN EMERGENCY.

I cut, shaped, and assembled from the following combination of stone:

    Red Pipestone from Minnesota

    White Orthoclase Feldspar from New Mexico

    Blue Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan

    Yellow Texas Sulfur

    Zippeite Uranium

The yellow fringe is made from crushed Texas Sulfur mixed with crushed Zippeite Uranium and jewelers glue. I bought the zippeite at a lapidary supply store, on Central Avenue across from the casino and race track, in war-torn Albuquerque, New Mexico.
