Corner Dog






Corner Dog, originally uploaded by Paul Hehn.


This dog was patiently waiting outside Tuk Tuk, a Thai restaurant on NE Fremont and 43rd.

I took several photos while he remained unperturbed.

Inside was a young guy at the counter, and as I picked up my food I asked if it was his dog. It was. I knew because the guy was saggin', he had a giant hoodie on, he was sporting lots of tats and he had a skinny, fine-tuned little beard.  I told him how patient the dog had been.

The guy looked reluctant to be friendly. But he said, "Yeah... he's a good boy."

Traffic Moment



This guy's fridge door kept teasing that it was going to fly open. It finally did.

A great little time-waster and puzzler, the The Eyeballing Game.

An Accident





Driving home from Southeast Portand today, and a woman hit my car at an intersection by the roundabout on 39th Avenue (NE).   She just plain plowed into me, regardless of the traffic sign (STOP) that told her she should wait.

Because I don't care that much about my car, it wasn't a terrible thing... so I pulled over so we could mutually discuss the fact that she'd hit my car.

But I pulled over and she didn't.  What I remember mostly is that she paused long enough to give me the finger.

When I got home I realized she had damaged my car more than I had thought.  I took a snapshot on the fly.  Yesterday I wasn't sure I wanted to post it.  But here it is.  Not because I want to pursue her for hit-and-run... I don't, really.  But I was a little concerned that she might report ME, so I'm documenting it here.

This is another shot from that day I encountered the rat and was sorta, nearly, almost asked to leave the premises.

It's a Crazy, Crazy World We Live In

Thanks to my pal, Salsa, for pointing me to this not-too-long and fascinating article about the politics and money behind the "there ain't no global warming, and even if there was it's just nature, pal!" crowd.
