We went to the state fair and sprung for the Demolition Derby as well. BOY HOWDY we got our money’s worth- bump-to-pass races, BUS races, BOAT races (Cars pulling boats. no trailers.) I liked the “hornet class” for young drivers, I think 13 to 16? The winner was THIRTEEN. I could barely do a wheelie…
MAILBOX BLASTED So that’s what that noise was! Somebody on the next block blasted this mailbox to smithereens while celebrating our country! I thought it would be funny to put an election ballot in what’s left of the mailbox part, but I plan to cast my vote, and I don’t want to give the mailman…
I SAW where there is a convention going on in the Wisconsin Dells called COLOSSALCON. Got my hopes up but it’s just anime. My thinking was that it would have, well colossal stuff and people. Del Monte could send the Jolly Green Giant. Amazon should send, well, an Amazon. “They Might Be Giants” could play….
Marysville is installing these vibrant wraps on various traffic control boxes around town. This one depicts a parade float, but I don’t know the story behind it.
Turns out there is NOT an “Ice Flu” going around, wouldn’t that be wierd? The late night hosts would make jokes about feeling “on the rocks” or something… No, it’s just the Walgreens guy who doesn’t consider the juxtaposition of the messages. I’m just mad because my daughter has worked at the Rite-Aid across the…
It was 1903 that this Packard was driven from San Francisco to New York, in 51 days. The world’s biggest ball of twine was still just a paperweight.
I don’t know what this plant is but I call it “The 1962 Plant”- It reminds me of wallpaper I saw when I was a kid, or maybe the pattern on one of those cone lamps?
We have lived in Marysville since 1991, and walked on that sidewalk dozens of time. How did I miss the old Sperry flour ad in the alley? The Spokane newspaper says; ‘The Spokane plant was sold to VWR United in 1966. The aging facility was sold to agribusiness giant ADM in 1981. “We take flour…
What is this mutt doing in the trunk of my car?? The answer may surprise you! OK, not too surprising. I was putting some stuff in the trunk, and he leaped in. Maybe before we got him at the pound, some earlier doggie daddy would sneak him into the drive-in movies. Probably Air Bud, or…
Check out this fun kitty chilling on the dashboard. I’m kind of jealous because our cat will go under the seat and refuse to come out if we don’t use her carrier.
