You don’t need me wasting keystrokes attempting to explain just vast and magnificent Tanzania’s most famous national park is, when this picture will do just fine:

What is this about?
Payback
In hindsight it was a good lesson to learn earlier rather than later, that people who you think are your friends really are not. It was one taught quickly, too, with the slap of a hand. His teacher was Tony Sims, a ninth grader, who Bobby looked up to, being [...]

Chandler Bikeway Mural

Snapped from the saddle Saturday biking back home from a trip to the Sherman Oaks batting cages with Blogdowntown’s Eric Richardson. Eric wisely opted to subway it back to town from the North Hollywood Red Line station. I on the otherhand didn’t and subsequently got drenched when the rains that weren’t supposed to [...]

What is this about?
The Accidental Fugitive
(Inspired by actual events)
It would be an exaggeration to say he blew through the stop sign where Laverne t-bones into Duchess Street. Coasted would be a more appropiate description, but by the time he saw the patrol car on the other side of the intersection he was halfway across [...]

Fauxtoshop
From 320 x 240 bluriffic pixels captured on the BirdBathCam to this overblown and heavily filtered piece of fartistic indulgification, ladies and gents I bring you the infinitely quadruplificable “Robin at the Wellspring.”

Riding in to work this morning I rolled southbound through a Culver City T-intersection stop sign on Duquesne above Jefferson and on the northbound side — doh! — there just happened to be a CCPD patrol car with [...]

What is this about?
Good
Roger fancied himself something of a superhero. Not someone bulletproof who could leap tall buildings at a single bound, or who with pinpoint accuracy and an effete bend of a wrist could somehow excrete a seemingly endless supply of a strong, flexible super adhesive material with incredible velocity and force.

Little Foxes
(click to triplify)
Isn’t it funny how we forget about stuff. I was cruising through the back end of the ridiculous amount of photos I have online at Flickr, and these two Santa Cruz island foxes showed up, bringing back a flood of good memories of the days I spent in November 2004 with a [...]
