Local geriatric anthropologist David Enos just published some interesting new findings:

Older people are invested in the actual physical details of their change in a way that we are not. They like the bill to be exceptionally crisp if possible. No visible creases. Fresh from the US Mint, a bank vault, a villain’s loot. If it is crisp, their eyes light up and they admire its crispness. That bill is probably going into someone’s birthday card. They are also made anxious by any bill smaller than a five.

It’s spider season. Watch your step.

Her Majesty’s Secret Beekeeper is now selling fresh eggs, straight from the source — four feathery fluffball hens living in their storefront. I guess that’s what those available chicks were about.

Seriously though, are these not the fluffiest chickens ever, or am I such a city mouse that I don’t know what real chickens look like?

I mean, look at them!

It’s like in John Carpenter’s Vampires when the vampires figure out how to perform that ancient incantation that lets them finally walk in the daylight — horrific!

Most of you know about Deep, aka Trikeasaurus, and all of you by now have spotted the sweet triceratops parklet in front of his house (the first residential parklet in San Francisco, in fact). Some of you may have noticed the plywood barricade recently erected around Deep’s garage. As I was passing through last night, a friend of Deep’s (pictured) was in the middle of painting this triceratops mural over the street-facing portion.

Apparently, Deep is expanding his parklet back into his driveway, and construction is now underway. As for the mural, the plywood was getting tagged on the regular, so Deep’s buddy figured that a huge thunder lizard mural might be a good way to “keep things clean” until the new parklet expansion is unveiled.
