Mentally & Physically Taxing
As you probably know if you’ve been reading my writingz with any regularity across the eight — count-em: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 — years that I’ve been a-bloggin’, I’m pretty much an open book. For gooder or badder I have little issue with sharing the highs, the lows and I’m pretty [...]

A Rare Daylight Capture Of The Elusive Bink
I don’t even know… it may have only been a couple/three weeks ago, but it seems a lot longer since we converted the dining room into our bedroom to make way for the renovation work making its way down from the second floor.
However long it’s been is about how long our cat Bink — the [...]

Dawgz On The Stairz
As our renovation project nears closer to completion (still some 3-5 weeks out), we’ve begun letting dogs Ranger and Shadow up into the second floor for lookabouts, and to get them more comfortable with the (still-unfinished) stairs.

Back about a month and a half ago, I wrote “Cactus As Teacher,” a brief photo-post about the lessons in perseverence and resilience learned from a decrepit prickly pear cactus pad that was still managing to nourish five flourishing offspring sprouts even as it lay dying across the top of the fence separating our property [...]

Angels & Demons
Since I typically ride home from work after the main part of the so-called “rush hour,” whenever I deviate from that time frame I’m forced to remember that the streets of Los Angeles at 6:30 p.m. bear the burden of a far more selfish, impatient and less-accepting motorist than they do even as little as [...]

Pit Stop II
On the heels of last week’s “Pit Stop” in South Los Angeles while on the way to work, I had another last night coming home through the Crestview neighborhood near Venice and La Cienega boulevards — specifically under the 10 Freeway overpass.

Vending Vidi Vici
So the backstory is I dropped $1.40 on a Diet Pepsi from the vending machine, but the contraption is really basic and lame because it literally drops the bottles free-fall style down the front of the case. And this time the soda got wedged in near the bottom row. I went to get my camera [...]

Today Is Your Earth Day! Happy Earth Day To You!
Biking to/from work this Earth Day as I’ve done so many times this past year and a half, it could be argued that I’m doing nothing different for my planet — and that’s true.
