On the Birthday of Jackson Pollock...

...allow me a moment to decry the fact that I have been to Cody, Wyoming, the birthplace of the great painter, and was aghast to find that, for the most part, the otherwise lovely town is unaware that they are, in fact, the birthplace of Jackson Pollock. 

They are, however, greatly aware that their town was founded by Buffalo Bill Cody.  They hold a rodeo in his honor.  The kind woman at the Chamber of Commerce offered plenty of information on said rodeo.  She did not know who Jackson Pollock was.
