11-27-10, Day 83

To JP:
I've posted a lot of photos taken at this location near my house, a former Ritz Camera kiosk, now unoccupied.  It's prominently situated at the corner of a busy cross street and has become a rotating gallery of street art.  The visual display changes frequently, with new usually pasted directly over old.  Yesterday evening all the old peeling paper had been removed, the surface completely whitewashed and this tacked in the middle.  The timing might have something to do with the fact that today is a big deal, Big Game day at UC Berkeley.  This probably will be swallowed up in the night.




PS:  Now gone, 24 hours later.
From JP:
I'm a car guy and we have an event in town called turkey rod run. It is mostly old cars but this one came through. I still have no clue what it is but it looks fast!

Ashby Ave.
From Mandy:

I acquired this poster as a kid probably from some health fair or school. I took a picture of it a while back because we found it in some stuff in the garage. I forgot about it until this week when I was emptying out my camera flash card then I realized, This poster probably played a huge part in what I am today. I had and still have no idea what it was for, but I remember staring at this thing for yeeears amazed at how really cool all the costumes and characters were.  Thank you, Professor Bodywise.

Thanksgiving Eve Dinner...the junkiest junkfood one could eat...the challenge was who could get it all down!  They both did it and had a glazed donut for dessert...all at 10:00 PM....What a night...What was in the sandwiches you ask??  One had fried chicken fingers, french fries, onion rings,smothered in nacho cheese all in a giant sub roll...the other was two veggie burgers, fried broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, smothered in nacho cheese!  Yummy!!!

We feel a new family tradition coming on...oh yes...did you know that we have a fast developing wheatgrass/microgreen business happening...where we tout the benefits if live food???
