franky
There is something heartbreaking and endearing about homemade cemetery markers, and I have never seen a fancy granite (or whatever) carved stone that I liked even a little bit.
And I am sorry for the loss that Franky’s family experienced.

that nurse seems unprepared
Side-show signage…somehow I just don’t think this little, weird scene is going to end well. That nurse seems unprepared for feeding two babies with only that one bottle, plus her uniform seems pretty tight for a job that involves bending over and picking up things (like, you know, babies); there’s a wardrobe malfunction in her future.

While I sat on a bench to people-watch (and grab some photos) the two men next to me were discussing whether or not to get two of the last eighteen tickets to the night’s drag show. I believe they eventually opted out because of the price, but really the point here is that the show was nearly sold out.
It was just one year ago that the City Council and the Mayor involved themselves in a kerfuffle regarding approval of arts funding for things they personally found distasteful. (Yes. They were pissy about a drag show.) The arts community pushed back and here we are.
If you ask me, which of course you did not, the City Council and Mayor would be much better served by figuring out any number of REAL problems we’ve got around here. But sure: drag shows are the main thing that needed taking care of.
But I digress. Here’s a picture.

I went to the museum the other day to look at the motorcycle exhibit.
Actually, that’s not correct. I went to the museum to photograph the motorcycle exhibit. My favorite thing was mirrors.
Also: the name of the exhibit mentioned “two-stroke street bikes” and I still do not know what that even means.
