In memorium-the Tv antenna

With America just hours away from having digital only telly,Elizabeth Gettelman paints a memorial for her rabbit ears.

Hopefully all those government-subsidized converter boxes will keep millions of old-fashioned sets out of electronic wasteland, but what of the beloved antennae?

As pointers for teachers? Tomato cages?
