I don’t have cable so I’ve never had the opportunity to watch Battlestar Galactica before. I generally despise most sci-fi but holy cow, I’m totally hooked. I’ve gorged on Season One. Those damn dvds are dangerous – but great for a rainy hungover Sunday. Anyway, the random observation, or I guess declaration is that I can’t stop saying ‘frack’. I suppose the show is not allowed to use curse words so they invented frack. So if you haven’t seen the show, I’m telling you it is frackin’ awesome!

Yeah, I’m not going to add much commentary for this one. If you’re confused just look very closely at the photo. It’s a bit bizarre, yeah?

This birdbath has running water. Pretty sweet. Do birds prefer running water to still water? You can kind of see the water bubbling up in the middle of the plate in the photo above.

As I was lurking around some alleys this weekend I noticed some mailboxes right in the wall of an alley. Bizarre, yeah? I’m pretty sure they are for some businesses but I suppose it is helpful for the mail carriers. Just thought it was noteworthy.

I assume it some sort of security measure. Have you ever seen a bunch of metal spikes like this before? You think it’s to keep out people or animals? Or maybe it is the remnants from a David Blaine stunt?

Thanks to a reader for sending in this incredible photo. Quite tragic, this looks like it was a majestic tree in its day. The reader writes that this is a “down tree on Madison near Georgia Ave. It makes your wonder about how deep the roots are on other trees”. Incredible photo but very sad. So can big trees like that, located near sidewalks, have enough depth for their roots?

There’s something very appealing about seeing posters like these on garbage cans. I’ve never claimed to be normal.

I was scouting for “cool city signs” when I found this corner store. I think it’s awesome that the one thing they choose to highlight is ice cubes. I mean I like ice cubes and all, don’t get me wrong, but is that what needs to be celebrated. Well, I guess it’s cool that you can get them delivered…

I’m curious, does anyone prefer Starbucks to Dunkin Donuts?

I think this disaster starts off something like this: “I dare you”…
