Gotta love stupid reporting...

The article is very clear about the toddler picking up the caterpillar, and barely having any issues at all.

And the article says "parents on edge as venomous asp attacks toddler"

I suppose they were lucky it was a regular asp and not one of the bad, gang-member asps that travel in large packs attacking humans that look at them funny.

In Texas they are called Asp. I think they are also called puss moth caterpillar. They have urticating hairs (like other "fuzzy" caterpillars and the irritating hairs on the backs of tarantulas.
I think they are pretty much the most harmful caterpillar around. I've heard of folks having to go to the hospital because of the reaction to the "sting" from coming into contact with the urticating hairs.

Carolyn Jones, who played the original Morticia Addams in 1964. She suffered for a couple of years with colon cancer, playing many of her scenes in a wheelchair, then passed at 53 years old.

Picasso circa late '50s with his Afghan Hound Kabul in the heights of Cannes.

Kabul inspired much of his work and appeared in some, including Femme au Chien (woman with dog) (1962):

and the unnamed Chicago sculpture (1967):

I'm not a big "abstract art" guy. I don't "get" a lot of modern art, especially Picasso. I like some of his stuff. If the dog sculpture in Chicago is his, I like that.

It's far better than this "sculpture" that is in downtown Houston.

There was a Picasso restaurant at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. I had a fantastic meal there a long time ago. It was expensive, but not bad. The walls were covered with original paintings from Steve Wynn's personal collection. I just looked it up and apparently it closed last year. I wonder if Tabs hit it.

‘Getting’ art is like learning to read. I look at Arabic writing and don’t get any of it. At all. In either direction. But because I know the English language, spelling and lots of other things I can look at an English word and get it.

First of all, there is representational and non-representational art. Though Picasso did some abstract work, most of his art is representational. When you look at it you recognize what it is. Even though it’s distorted and misconnected, you know what it is and what it is representing. Abstract art, OTOH is nonrepresentational. It is not recognizable as anything real or tangible. It’s an idea, an emotion an abstraction.

Picasso’s weird portraits and faces, with both eyes on the same side of the head or sideways and even upside down are still recognizable as eyes. But why so weird. One of the many, many ideas Picasso brought to us was showing something with many dimensions while using only two. Those weird eyes are a way to see something from two perspectives rather than one.

This-Painter and Model, 1970-is clearly representational. You know what you’re looking at. Especially dead center. But with the painter’s dark hair, eyes and nose you know what he’s thinking. This is not abstract art:

At least there's only one. Which is more than enough, really.
