I awoke one recent morning to the sweet twitter of these two birds. When the native LAPD Hover Throat visits, I turn on the television set. In this case a high speed chase was taking place that had started in Boyle Heights. My guess is this particular LAPD Hover Throat must have gotten separated from his flock. A pity. I’ve noticed that my neighbor and local blogger Walter of 90042 is also an avid bird watcher.

Trash Tuesday #30: Where Getting it Cheap is Part of the Esthetic

Translation: Lucky Pasadena Adjacent

If you’ve ever wondered about those trucks in the Pasadena Adjacent header; they belong to the city of Los Angeles. At the time of the photograph they were straight off the factory floor. To placate the men and one woman city “sanitation engineers” (who seemed to think the rest of our public art project was coming straight out of their paychecks) we painted this mural adjacent to where they fill up their gas tanks. Of course “hell hath no furry” like the working class. Now they aggressively pursued us as to what identification number we were planning to paint on the truck. At this point #666 seemed appropriate but then I came up with a solution; want your number? buy it off us. Turns out cheap trumps ego.

On a high note: I did develop a certain camaraderie with employee Robert whom I affectionately refer to as “dead animal pick up guy”
