This house always perplexes me. Why the tin foil? What’s going on in there? It looked really cool in the evening sun this day, though.
Lately, there has been an enormous note written in marker on the front door, instructing FedEx and UPS to go around back. What is she expecting? Deliveries from aliens?

I took this picture while driving early in the morning right in front of my office. The car is covered in dolls and a bunch of other stuff, some of which is covered with snow. I had to look twice to believe it was real.

I think that they might actually build these custom bikes in that garage. The bikes are a little crazy (I can’t imaging riding one), but they are pretty cool and very Portland.

I came upon this fine gentleman as I was walking home. He was standing with legs apart and firmly planted while the rest of him went whirling about, arms spinning, muttering to himself — or was he having a conversation with the Gatorade bottle caps on the ground in front of him? Perhaps it was a bout of glossolalia.

I wonder what we should beware of? Falling debris? Obsolete electronics coming back to life? What he might be keeping in that camper?

A crazy German neighbor who decided to make a stonehenge like creation on his front lawn. He said his mower was too small so he needed less lawn.

I can’t help but laugh every time I pass this driveway. Anyone who can afford to drive a $65,000 BMW should be able to afford a better solution to get it in the driveway. It’s been like this for at least a year, so it’s not just a temporary fix.

2.8 seconds my ass. This dog hit the fence like she was fired from a gun, and let us know under no circumstances would she let us through or near her territory. Not even if we gave her steaks. Steaks would be the appetizer, our legs would’ve been the main course. The neighbors, of course, thought me jumping backwards across the street was hilarious. I asked what the dog’s name was … “Girlfriend”.
