Joke 1: What crazy Doctor Strange/Inception world are you driving in?!?! Joke 2: They said electing Trump would turn the world on its side, but I didn't think they meant it literally! Joke 3: And I call it... The Aristocrats! Text your vote to 555-123-4567. Fixed. Also, BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHM!!! |

For the second time yesterday I drove by an antique/flea market type store called "The Picker Knows", and both times I've thought in full 30's radio narrator voice "Who knows what lurks in the attics of grandmas? THE PICKER KNOWS!" Picker Knows? I hardly know her! Sometimes my inner 8 year old has to express itself. |

Fox poop on my front walk! Would have been more exciting to see the actual fox, but I take what I can get.

The sun. It's been a while and I was thrown off and thought I was running late for work. It just felt so weird seeing it, especially after the cloudy weather we've had here for what's felt like weeks.

Technically, it was last night: a white guy in Chinatown walking outside in jeans and flip-flops. It was only drizzling at that moment, but it had been raining steadily on and off all day as it was forecast to do. This guy made a conscious decision to go out and drag his toes and pant legs through dirty standing puddles of street water. Gross.

Technically yesterday, when I managed to go a full 24 hours without internetting. Drove from Atlanta up to Richmond, through both Carolinas- South Carolina is marked by the Giant Peach Butt on the side of I-85, as well as the plethora of fireworks stores- CRAZY STEVE doesn't know how to orient his letters vertically, but BIG ZACK does. DADDY JOE in the entirely different business* of barbecue made the same wacky partially-rotated font choice as Steve, so my copilot and I amused ourselves concocting a story of Joe as Steve's daddy, scorning his crazy son for leaving the family business.  * I suppose if you barbecued meat by attaching it to a Roman candle or somesuch, you would be the most South Carolina person ever. There's some reflection from the window, but this is the last picture of Atlanta I took before I moved away:  |

For the second time yesterday I drove by an antique/flea market type store called "The Picker Knows", and both times I've thought in full 30's radio narrator voice "Who knows what lurks in the attics of grandmas? THE PICKER KNOWS!" I'd assume it's a reference to the joke that you can pick your nose (picker knows) , you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friends' nose. I've also herd it as you can't pick your relatives, which is fitting as I'm guessing most of the goods got there from dead unloved relatives |

This morning walking to my building I saw this sign advertising the repair work going on at the facility. Look at the supports for this thing; this was built by the people hired for the construction.

Some giant ball in the sky of what looks like fire of some sort. Can't remember seeing anything like that before, at least not recently.

Yesterday:
A burned out semi tractor and trailer alongside the interstate.
Several miles of abandoned railroad track, that still has signals and a trestle in place, but with weeds, brush and even the occasional small tree growing between the rails.
An ambulance with it's lights flashing in the parking lot of a K Mart.

 The river was so still and calm that it was like a glass mirror. I haven't enhanced this except to brighten it just slightly to account for the window of the train I was on at the time. |

Not technically outside, as I was drifting through a big dept store (practically floored), but anyway.
I passed by a man who called out to one of the shop assistants: 'Excuse me, sir. What was the name of the Spanish artist with the whiskers?' Here he used his fingers to exhibit imaginary whiskers that twirled luxuriantly at the end.
The assistant wandered over with a tip of the tongue look on his face and said, 'Ahh ... I can picture him, I can picture him.'
Since it's Xmas and I was passing within earshot, I called over, 'Salvador Dali.'
The man said, 'Yes, Salvador Dali! Thank you, sir - I knew you looked like an artist.'
We were in the furniture department. I went on with my day.
