Runaway Peacocks

Saw these peacocks walking down the sidewalk in a nearby neighborhood; I wonder if they had a day pass from the Arboretum....

Golf Ball on the Side of the Road

I don't know why this tickled me so. It's just a golf ball in the gravel by the side of the road, 10 miles from the nearest golf course. But I'm glad I have the opportunity to walk instead of always driving, so that a golf ball on the side of the road can make happy for a moment.

Prize machines

When I was a little kid

I LOVED THESE MACHINES

and the promise that maybe I'd get lucky

and win some incredible prize.

Like kids playing the lottery.

The prize was never worth it,

but the potential was.

(by the way, these machines are now 75¢ instead of just 25¢

I guess inflation has even affected dreams...)
