Spotted last summer. In case you were wondering…
…now you know what he does for the rest of the year!

Yield to Confusion
Found this while wandering around the Lemon Heights area a few weeks ago, looking for scenic viewpoints. It’s on the Skyline trail, near Peters Canyon park.
It seems to be saying this:
- Cyclists* yield to pedestrians and horses.
- Pedestrians yield to horses.
- Horses yield to no one.
But if you’ve never seen it before, the meaning isn’t clear at a glance.
Apparently the idea is to make everyone stop and try to work out the diagram, so that they can start moving again in the right order.
*Or perhaps only bicycles, since there’s no rider in the picture.
Bart? Keystone? Hmm…
I could not believe I managed to spot these next to each other. I mean, Bart and Keystone?
It’s right up there with Flash Transport.
Londo/G’Kar in 2008!
This just showed up in my email from Babylon 5 Scripts:
From JMS’s Cafe Press store (the same site through which he’s selling his script books with commentary):
With the coming 2008 elections, there aren’t a lot of candidates we can agree upon. So as a public service, we are now providing a slate of candidates that will bring the country together in common cause and preserve many of this nations’ finest electoral traditions.
Slates available include Londo/G’Kar, G’Kar/Londo, and Zathras/Zathras (trained in crisis management!)
I remember having an unofficial Sheridan/Ivanova ’96 (or possibly Sheridan/Delenn) bumper sticker, but I’m fairly certain it was a homemade “Elect The Brain” (as in Pinky and the…) sticker that I actually put on my car that year.
Now if only they’d used the correct punctuation on the ’08 instead of trusting smart quotes. (That should be an apostrophe, not a left single quote.)
Who ya gonna call?
The logo on the left was spotted on fire extinguishers at two different coffee shops (different chains, even). The one on the right is, of course, the logo from the 1984 comedy/horror film, Ghostbusters.
Maybe I’m imagining things, but does anyone see a similarity here?
New Age Drinks?
Okay, maybe I’ve missed a memo or something, but can someone tell me: what exactly is a new age drink? Nothing in the aisle stood out as being particularly new-agey.
Icy?
I rediscovered this photo while looking for the UCI Student Center pic. One of us took it on the way back from a camping trip with UCI’s Campuswide Honors Program in the Angeles National Forest in April 2000. IIRC it was along Angeles Crest Highway.
A permanent sign isn’t necessarily the best way to indicate a transitory condition.
