My World Kills Me

I went 11 days on one tank of gas.  I was extremely excited on one hand as that is saving good money but on the other hand I thought, oh my I live my life now in 5 square miles.  My job is very centrally located so at lunch or after work I can leave my car and walk and do all my errands.  I can walk to the post office, a frequent destination, or my bank, or the grocery store, or the salvation army, or zumba, or school or even the DMV (which is what they call the Registry out here).  What kills me as I walk around the same streets and blocks each time yet I still notice things that I have never seen before.  I think, "How much more can I discover?" and yet each time somehow I seem to still find more.  Here are shots from my walk this evening as I went to the atm and then to buy milk.


How phallic is this enoumous plant???  It was killing me.  Although a little too skinny to be an enjoyable phallus, I still found it oddly and crudely funny.  Jane said it a yucca plant.  I was more than a little impressed with her botany skills to say the least!



I found it disconcerningly comforting that Mr. Muff is fluent in Spanish.  Your thoughts?  Discuss amongst yourselves.




I cannot believe this is for real but it was my favorite sight tonight as it just raises so many questions such as:  How do you lose track of a 30 pound cat???  How does a 30 pound cat sneak away undetected???  Why is there no picture on the poster of this lost 30 pound cat???  You just know that after I read this I was searching high and low for a stray 30 pound cat wandering the streets of Escondido.  I am sad to report that I did not see one, or I would have definitely taken its picture too!  I personally think it went off to the buffet at the casino.
