Looks like rain tomorrow and Thursday so we'll begin the last stage on Friday or next week Monday. Those outlines take for-EVAH - so I'm estimating the IMAGINE text will go well into next week.

The principal at PS130 told me that the John Lennon quote has to stay (but I can change the font) and the "Miró mural" will be touched up - but I have to leave it. Public art compromises!
