well, to start with, here is a personal favorite of
mine. this house is just across the street from us. i was too chicken to cross the street and take a closer picture, lest i become the weird new lady who takes random pictures in front our your house, so you can't quite see the sign very well. but, it is a hair salon, it is called the "rant and wave". now, that is a place right out of a novel, setting up the scene for you as a quaint little town with old ladies who walk around in curlers (i did see one walking down the street on my way to the park last week, on a cell phone no less) and men's clubs that meet at the barber shop and drink stale coffee in the mug that is theirs, kept on the barber's one shelf above the well used coffee pot. in our prior world, i choose from places with names like oliver's, salon 21, or salon bliss.
another of the top picks. i don't really have a commentary for this...do i need one?
ok...this gets the gold. this, my dear readers, is a pet cemetery. proudly displayed in the backyard of a small house littered with lawn ornaments. so there is one misty, and four of misty's friends. i have buried pets, but have never erected a monument for them. call me callous i guess.
lots of flamingos. i don't know what sound a flamingo makes, but lets insert it here _______.
my grandpa's name was palmer, so this is a bit nostalgic for me.
