Yesterday, on a routine trip to Target, I got trapped by a Mardi gras parade.

They spring up around this time of the year when you least suspect them...and then
you find yourself trapped in traffic for hours.
Anyway, on my circuitous route out, I found myself deep in subdivisions I've never traveled. Spooky.

So, to keep myself occupied...I took some (bad) flip phone photo:

First up is this (now sadly rundown) beauty from the 70s.  Soaring vaulted ceilings, clad in weathered cypress.

The most amazing thing...the thing that made me literally turn the car around and take this photo, however....were the three story high full length vintage macrame drapes.  Macrame, people! Amazing.

Less showy was this (rather run down)  beauty from the early sixties. It looked like a plane ready to take off.

Also looking like it's just about to take off is this house.  Their car will NOT flood again, dammit.

Meanwhile, in a VERY different subdivision, a little bit of Jamaica 

Recently seen (no, really)...

Anyway, I still think Diet Coke would have been a better president.

Diet Coke/Hillary 2016!

It's that time of the year

Time to leave a capful of Advil out for Santa

And deck the christmas trees with acrylic wigs

Yes, it's the post Halloween /pre Xmas season at Target again.

6:30 Woman screaming "Bette Davis! Bette Davis, come here!" while Bette Davis takes a shit on my lawn.

7:00 a. m. Man walking down my street cradling a large Chucky doll in his arms like his baby.
