Legal pot

Jan. 7, 2019

Pot has been legal in Washington for awhile now, but even so this shy kitchen utensil took it's time in allowing itself to be seen out in the open. And today it stands proudly at the corner of Summit and Simpson for all to see. No more hiding! A legal pot!

But there might be a law about panhandling on the corner.

The Crow's Pantry

Dec. 6, 2018

The McCleary Community Pantry was a noble experiment that lasted for a year or two, but it has been gone for some time now. In the meantime, it looks like someone is attempting an open-air pantry near the same location. When I spotted it a very satisfied crow was helping itself to a box of pasta it had poked into.

Talking turkey from Subway

Dec. 4, 2018

These hammy food puns from Subway really cut the mustard. Not trying to butter them up, but as much as I love puns I am not sure I could ketchup to this signmaker.
