In a dollar store recently I discovered stacks of 1988 Tim Wallach baseball card file folders. I didn't buy any but came very close. I certainly wouldn't have purchased them in 1988 but all these years later they seem like such a novelty. Pure dollar store item. Awesome.



Inside a downtown boutique hotel I spotted this contraption. "Is the heating busted?" I asked the doorman. Turns out this is not a heater. What else could it be? It could be a mechanized, electronic deodorizer I thought to myself, but felt silly suggesting that as a possibility. I asked the doorman. He said "its mechanized, electric deodorizer" like it was obvious or something. I took a closer look. The knob on the right says "Scent" and it goes from 1 to 10. What ever happened to flowers? Isn't this thing unsightly? What's next, robots holding Febreeze canisters?



We've all seen these. A stripped down bike, right? But this one caught me as unusually un-rusted and new looking to have been stripped of almost every last piece. Almost as if the owner had walked away from it only moments earlier. I thought he might run up to it screaming as I shot the picture. "Mannnnnnnnn, they even took the pedals." he would lament. "Yeah...maybe it was Igor?" I would respond in jest. It reminds me of an animal carcass that has been stripped clean to the bones.
