Unidentified Car Parts

Recently these unidentified pieces of plastic showed up in the parking lot at work. Since one of them says “Ford” it seems likely that they’re from an automobile. They seem vaguely familiar, but I don’t recognize them. The black one looks like it might cover the transparent one, and the transparent one looks like it might cover a light. Or not. Can you tell what they are?

Disabled Personhole Cover

When I was walking into a restaurant recently, I saw this sloppily replaced personhole cover. Yesterday at work I had the image on the screen on my laptop and someone pointed out that it looked like someone in a wheelchair was falling off a cliff. So… if you need to fall off a cliff in a wheelchair, I guess I can tell you where to park for that…

Another badly parked vehicle…

A while ago I posted a picture of someone parked on the curb in the parking lot of the office building where I work. Apparently it’s a trend. When my 14 year old daughter saw this, she said it looked like the truck had raised its leg and peed. I hadn’t noticed it before, but I had to agree.

Bizarre bug…

Once upon a time there was a bizarre looking bug. Naturally, I took a picture of it. I haven’t identified it yet.

Sleep-Eating

Here’s my son falling asleep while eating. This was about four years ago…

My Nephew’s Spiders

My nephew came over a few days ago to turn up rocks and photograph spiders with me. He rocks.

Here are a couple shots:

He was pretty sure that was a black widow (I think because he really likes black widows — he’s caught a few of them). His mom suggested (and I agree) that it is probably some sort of orb weaver.

Here’s another picture of what was underneath a rock:

Skewface

This is my beautiful youngest kid:

She was asking me to do something, and demonstrating. I don’t remember now what she wanted me to do, but I’m pretty sure it was something simple like “make a funny face.”

Silly birds

A couple years ago, we left a Christmas wreath on our front door for too long, and a family of birds built a home.

They pooped. A lot. Eventually they grew up and flew away.
