I just don’t keep up with the reptilian agenda the way I should.  It’s hard to stay informed about domestic polictics, let alone galactic foreign policy…

Cara took this at a car rental place in Connecticut. Excellent!  I’m enamored with this sign!

At a road side stop on 90W in New York.  Saw it out of the corner of my eye and at first I thought it said  “hands and FEET washing not permitted.”  That would have been awesome!  But it’s still strange because the drinking fountain is right next to the bathroom.  Why would I wash anything in a drinking fountain — especially one that’s near the door of a very busy road stop — when I could walk 5 feet and use a sink.  Seems odd, but I’m guessing the sign is there for a reason.

Who, other than Queen Elizabeth, would want this in their home?

I’m always amused when water towers are painted like something else… a radish, a peach, you get the idea.  When I saw this I wished it was painted like a hamburger.

We were playing cards outside, and Oliver wanted to go exploring.  To save him from, you know, being hit by a car, my dad tied him up. Oliver acted like he’d lost his best friend: put his face in his paws and wept silent doggie tears.

If you know anything about animal psychology — and I don’t, by the way, just making this stuff up — you can see the defiance in his body language:  paws dug into the ground, back slightly arched.

Here you can see the anchor to which he was tied…

Hard to resist that face!

the big toe band-aid + the Belle slippers = strong fashion statement.
