Tell me more…


The Book 2 “Sedona” shoe
How the hell does blue better match a rock landscape than gold?Apparently it's a shoe called "Book 2 Sedona", which is a Devin Booker shoe.
Makes much more sense in that context.
Also, the M is blue due to a local Sedona Arizona law that requires signage to match the local landscape.
I should have known my prescious McDonald's would never, unless forced by a cold and cruel meddling bureaucracy.
Per Grok...
The X post showcases Nike's McDonald's x Book 2 "Sedona" sneaker, a Devin Booker collab using turquoise accents and a sand base to honor the sole McDonald's with blue arches in Sedona, Arizona, required by local rules to match the red rock landscape.

Good call. Things were already shaky based on your responses to the Arizona AI speech...I started to say yellow instead of gold, but I decided there was no reason to send Geng over the edge on a relaxing Sunday.

I would say that is stupid, but I can't say much. Any building built on Texas Tech's campus has to have the Spanish tiles roofs, the Spanish-influenced architecture, and an exact brick pattern that has to match exactly on every building. It is all written into the facilities planning and construction policies. And the ugliest building on campus (built before the current policies) is none other than the architecture building. That has always made me chuckle.Grok:
Building and sign colors must harmonize with the natural landscape (earth tones, subdued hues that match the red rocks, desert vegetation, etc.). Bright or reflective colors like yellow are generally not allowed because they clash with the scenery.
McDonald’s worked with the city’s Planning & Zoning commission and city council. They compromised on a turquoise/teal/blue-green shade for the arches (described variously as turquoise or muted teal), which better fits the Southwestern/Pueblo-revival style of the shopping center and the surrounding landscape.
The amount of times I've told my wife to "relax" should probably be enough to get me shot.
