So I saw this guy in the Orlando airport the other day
Everyone else seemed to think he was real too. Like a street performer inside a glass box or something.
As incredible as this wax dummy was, I was a little annoyed by all the people that kept coming over to my table to have a look.
(That’s my table in front. I can’t believe I didn’t even notice him when I sat down).
No one else at Starbucks seemed to notice him either, so I didn’t feel quite so silly.

They must have been all out of ideas when they thought this name up.

I love things that would probably repulse most people.

I have no idea what kind of business this is, but I find it unbelievably frightening.

I saw this car in Miami yesterday.
I have no idea what these plates are supposed to mean, but they made me laugh.
Yet another reason why I came to the conclusion that Miami is just like NYC, only more naked.
A few years ago I went with my family to Aruba (you know, the island where that Dutch dude murdered Natalie Holloway?). While five star hotels and shi-shi restaurants cover the periphery of the island, Aruba’s midland is just a big ole desert with cactus, dilapidated shacks, and homeless dogs covered in scabs instead of hair. Driving though this no-man’s-land, we couldn’t find a place to get food, gas, or basic human needs, but we did find this place.
Even the most desolate places will have opportunities for folks to get rich.

For anyone who’s been looking at my photos for awhile, you’re probably aware by now that I’m fascinated by public bathrooms. I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m just twisted. It’s usually the bathroom itself that interests me. The other day in the Orlando airport, however, I saw this
A lady full-on lounging on the bathroom floor!
Anyone who knows my stories might also know I have a grungier kind of lifestyle and a high tolerance for dirt. But even I wouldn’t ever, ever sit on a floor that people pee on.

The most exciting yet least creative name for a store.

This is a typical scene in Taos, New Mexico:
An adobe house,
Toyota Pick-ups,
And a gal who lives in her truck doing laundry in the driveway.
God, I miss the desert. Thanks, Damon, for a place to park and clean up!
