Here we observe a specimen of that rarest of species: the Walking Tent.
And here are two natives, apparently acolytes of the Tent, worshiping at its altar.

Living in Harmony
On Highway 62, in Twentynine Palms, we saw this first coming from the other direction. On the other side it says, “Where if not now?”
At first we thought they had just messed up the wording, but when we came back along the same road and saw “When if not here?” it all made sense.
Something Missing
This is just around the corner from the “roller coaster.”
But think about it. If she’s a real patient, shouldn’t they show, well, her breasts? Not like that, you pervert, in a bikini or something! Gyms tend to show before-and-after (or just after) shots of people with muscled or trim torsos. The whole reason you put an “actual customer” in the ad is to show the results, right?
(Oh, this journal is going to end up getting filtered for sure!)
High Rise Roller Coaster?
This is out off of the 60, not far from Hadley’s Orchards and two new casinos. It seems to be a hotel, but the curves in the scaffolding really do look like a roller coaster!
Frighteningly popular
Out of curiosity, I did a Google search for the phrase “blood of the innocent” to see where APK would come up. Given that my poetry pages seem to be very popular with search engines (and that the phrase is at the top of the frikkin’ page!), I expected it to be pretty high up in the listings. 72 pages of results later, I have a thorough education in just how popular this phrase is, and with whom. Even adding in “nothing” to the search, I still got 72 pages of religious diatribes and political blogs. Sheesh. If this is what’s popular, I’m glad I’m not it.
Linspire?
It seems Lindows has changed their name again.
I think I liked LinDash better. Even if it was obviously a temporary gimmick.
It never fails
I finally get around to downloading Mandrake Linux 10 Community Edition, and they release the “Official” edition.
(Mandrake has moved to a release model where they release a download-only “community” version, refine it and fix bugs for a couple of months, and then release the “official” version to put on CDs and sell in boxes. Essentially, it’s recognizing the fact that new bugs are always found shortly after release of any software, because the average user and average beta tester are not the same, and a lot more people will install the “final” version of a product than will beta test it.)
