	The picture is based on  memories of visits to New York City between 35 and 40 years ago
so the memories are faded, but some incidents stuck in my mind. I was eating in some restaurant 
when I saw flames shooting out from the hood where they were cooking steaks. As we were leaving 
the cashier tried to collect, but the manager was tryig to get us out. I guess there are free
lunches once in a while. 
	The scene popped into my mind soon after the topic was announced, but it took me more than 
90 hours to produce the image that I submitted. I had difficulty blending surfaces to get rid of 
seams. I used constructive solid geometry for most of the objects. Since this is my last entry for
a while, I will have more time to try out some of the macros that are available for downloading.
	The people look better at a distance. I guess that's why some paintings are best viewed from 
a distance. I am going to learn to use my other progams so that I can create better people.
