sideshow bob

Here is a walking stick kale, I think, in our garden out back.  Ming asked if I had watched the Simpsons, and right away I knew he was going to say our plant looked like Sideshow Bob.

On a walk we encountered a tree covered in these huge, luxurious flowers.  Someone putting away his trash can told us they were angel’s trumpet flowers.

post-birthday birthday trip

We went on a post-birthday birthday trip.  I was spoiled rotten by friends and family.  Here’s us at Guadalupe beach.  We’re standing in front of a body of water that is not the pacific ocean.  You can’t see them in the picture unless you zoom in really close, but there are some small birds in… Read More »

Here’s a sidewalk skeleton. Here’s some advice. And something about cops… Some graffiti in an alley.  Here’s a sidewalk stencil we saw twice: octopus with ship. Ask instructions.

life update

Oh em gee, so much has happened.  The primary thing is that Kitty died.  I wrote some poems about it which should appear in the new hat genius. But I don’t want to talk about that.  The neighbor fixed my computer, so I am computing from home again.  Thanks, neighbor. We found two fans at… Read More »

forget me not

Still got a virus.  Do you believe me that I’ll be back to blogging soon?  I will.  As for this moment, I’m at a library.  Life’s trying to get me down but I’m thriving like a plant that thives on neglect only it’s not neglect.  Of course, I could crash at my moment.  Wish me… Read More »
