Leg Statues?

I first noticed this home because a porch over
the garage isn't something you see on most houses.
A closer inspection revealed a creepy collection
of statues.
Of legs.

They probably have a lamp like the 'Major Award' in the
movie 'A Christmas Story'.

Best Day Of Her Life

(Please click on photo to enlarge)

When the sun rose today, this poodle was at death's door.
Severely malnourished, an eye infection, fur so overgrown and
tangled that it looked like a bag of trash when dumped on the
side of the road.
To make matters worse, some kids were kicking her.
As the sun was setting, she was visiting our house and posing
for this picture, trying to remember how to trust people again.
By now she's fast asleep in her new home, warm and dry, fed
and groomed, secure in the love of her new 'mom' and two
delightfully eccentric chihuahua buddies.

Today didn't start out very well for her, but it was
the best day of her life.

Discrimination

(Click on photo to enlarge)
At Raymond Rimkus Park in Leon Valley, I spotted this
list of park rules.
The one that states "Alcohol Limit 12% By Volume" strikes
me as blatant discrimination.
Beer and wine drinkers can get lit in the park, but those
who enjoy whiskey or vodka cannot?
Makes no sense, especially since you can pre-mix a jug of
screwdrivers or rum and cokes, which will get you below
the 12% limit.
You just can't do shots?

Sounds like a challenge to me.
I'll be breaking this rule on Saturday--wish me luck.

Blowing Chunks

(Click on the photo to enlarge it)

Young 'ladies' should be careful and not try to drink as
much as their elders.
There were diners seated down below the balcony but I don't
think anyone got hit.
"Tia Helpful", her aunt, encouraged our star to finish the regurgitation
in the ladies room sink, much to the disgust of a witness who reports
indirectly to me.
The music business is so glamorous.
I get to see crazy shit like this almost every week, and if
I have to look at it so do you.
