Doctor Delbert's "Sleeping Hole"

He's homeless and sort of crazy. He has made this little trinket covered  "sleeping hole" that he wheels around on a cart so he can crawl into it and sleep during the day under the swaying palm tree in the park that runs along the beach. Heaven only knows what he does at night. He probably pushes his cart around until the sun comes up again because it's too dangerous to sleep on the streets in this city in the dark.

Bubble Gum Alley (Charming In An Icky Way)


Every now and then, as we travel around we come upon things that are so strange and, may I add, in such bad taste that we feel a need to pass them along for your considered opinion. Because in some instances, bad taste pushed far enough takes on a perverse charm all its own . Take the case of this alley in downtown San Luis Obispo, California. 

Whoever first stuck their gum to the wall started a trend followed by thousands and thousands of others. The result is a couple of gooey Jackson Pollock walls that probably have more DNA per square inch than anywhere else in the US.

Any thoughts?





Sunday

Music Man




Every Saturday in this city there is a wonderful farmers market. In addition to the exquisite produce, various musicians show up, some good some not so, to play and sing a wide range of music. The owner of this guitar sings upbeat catchy children's songs. Usually after a few minutes he is surrounded by mothers and their kids who jump and clap happily with the beat. (The little ones usually do the jumping and clapping but every now and then a young mother will join in too.) It's a lovely sight to see and he earns every buck that comes his way.
