There are two rather mundane mysteries going on here, 1) what was the purpose of painting the black and white squares in the middle of a sidewalk, and 20 why do the skid marks not extend beyond the boundaries of the painted squares?

About the only kind of haircut that would fit in a place like this.

Just a small dream really, more of a cat nap actually, and a faded one at that.

A warped version of the American Dream courtesy of the reflection in the “Little Bean” sculpture in Rochester.

Little Bean

This sculpture is actually kind of long and skinny, sort of like a stretched out teardrop shape laying down on it’s side. This is the big end of it. I looked all around but couldn’t find a plaque or anything listing the name of the sculpture, so I call it Little Bean as I don’t think anyone who’s seen Chicago’s famous “bean” sculpture (formally know as Cloud Gate) can help but say or at least think, “oh, the bean” when first coming across this chrome shape in Rochester. I know that was true for both the Fashion Queen and I.

A good graphical representation of what goes on inside my brain, sometimes anyway.
