Alien Space Dog




I thought I'd try a new font today. Lucida Grande. Sounds like something from Taco Bell. Yes, there was an alien space dog sighted in the 626 Second Street construction zone. We are trying to confirm reports that it resembles a schnauzer. Wait... Yes... No. Not an alien space dog. An actual schnauzer. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to officially welcome Annie Rooney Cassady to the World Wide Web. According to my trusty photographer (seen in photo 1 wearing white capris and a green shirt) Annie Rooney seemed to know her way around 626. That proves you can take the dog out of the house, but not the house out of the dog.... Or something.

The bricks are nearly complete. Actually, they may be finished by now. These pictures were taken on Monday. The porta-john was moved to the alley, which is certainly where it belongs. Next step is to fill in the bricked area with sand and concrete and more steel rods. Then the steel mesh. Then the slab. Slabariffic.

By the way, I'm listening to a great new song by this guy Gnarls Barkley. No, not the basketball player. That's Charles. The refrain is "Does that make me crazy?" Has nothing to do with 626 or the blog or anything, but I wanted to spread the word that this song is very cool. Muy bueno.

Continuing with today's animal theme, the final picture is of my cat, Mr. Patty MacTavish. As you can see from the picture, his weekend started on Tuesday. Meow.

Peace & Victory (as Paps would say)

Love the blog and all the old pictures. How did they survive the storm? Mac makes that High Life case look tiny! Dame Tickletummy (Emma) has started doing things like that too. Crazy cats.
