Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.

Had to make a quick stop at Costco on Sunday. Made a couple of observations I thought I would share.

Is a 13"x8" bubble pack necessary for a 4.5"x1" box of perfume? I understand the profit margin is low at Costco but couldn't they just use the small chunk of plastic that holds the rfd tag like any other retail store? This is a vulgar use of land-filling plastic. Reminds me of this picture a little bit.








Costco also had sports themed Snuggies with the Seattle Seahawks logo on them. I noticed the picture on the side of the box had Pittsburgh Steelers fans all wrapped and cozy on it so I spun it around to see what other team had the indignant pleasure of being picture on this moronic product...yah! Not only did this guy's wife/girlfriend buy him a Snuggie she's a Bears fan on top of it! Oh, Brother! Just kill me now!!!

Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures.

Cell Phone Photo Dump. Waaaaayyy Over Due!

Not the best quality but hey, they're from a cell phone's 1.3 Megapixel Camera.


Screaming sticker from the front of an old PC tower at the GW Bins in Vancouver.

Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely. Grammy Award for Best Album Cover 1959. Peaked at #1 during a Billboard 120 week pop album chart run.


Hal's record shelf.


"I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy." ~ Ursala K. Le Guin The Left Hand Of Darkness
I love opening a book to a page and finding something profound.


Liquid Vodka. That is all.


Hobo finds a home. Smaller Sink Spider found in the bathroom where I work.


Kate's estate sale score.


Lawn Makeup. When you're too proud to have a spotty lawn but too lazy to throw down seed.


This just made me laugh.

His name is Mitch. He's the barista and he's a very nice guy.

Stopped to see my friend Mitch at Mr. French's Coffee Kitchen to grab some coffee this morning. On the way out of industrial SE I stopped to snap a few shots of a mural and a small paster.

Happy Hour

Large mural. This this is huge covering a small dock door that had been boarded over. Roughly 5'x5'.

Happy Hour Detail

One of 8 floating surgeons heads making up the background of the mural.

Head

Bearded man paster. Like the pen and ink style.

This is the reason you should always have a camera with you. The phone cam does no justice.
