Oddities I saw on power walk through Royal Oak this morning:
- House with manicured front lawn including flower beds with brightly colored bowling balls forming a border around the beds.
- The bulldozer of a garbage truck scooping trash. A single, hardcover book fell out of the dozer and almost nailed me in the head. The book: Treasure Island.
- A sign posted on a telephone pole advertising an Insect Zoo. Price of admission: 50 cents.
- Man with a cigar who appeared to be 95 wearing a white tank top and no shoes giving me the evil eye.
I-pod on shuffle, playing lots and lots of 70s:
- "Another World" Richard Hell
- "Damaged Goods" Gang of Four
- "She Sells" Roxy Music
- "Raw Power" Rocket from the Tombs
- "$1,000 Wedding" Gram Parsons
- "All Apologies (Unplugged)" Nirvana
- "Zealots" The Fugees
- "Standing in the Way of Control" The Gossip
- "Retreat" Minutemen
- "Lakini's Juice" Live
- "Joe's Garage" Frank Zappa
- "The Boy Looked at Johnny" Libertines
- "One PM Again" Yo La Tengo
