Tourist or not?

New game. Four photos, lots of people. One is a Venice honey (classic style of cute girl that only cities like Venice has) Another is the best kind of street vendor (a freaky one) All the rest are tourists. You decide. Post answers in comments




Okay, I've divided them into groups. If you can tell me what the vendor is selling, you get bonus points.

Venice

This photo is all you really need to say about it. It rules. Late afternoon wandering around. Bet you never knew a camera phone could look so good, especially after looking at a few of the other photos on this blog.

Awesome.

All I saw at a Dodger game

So I went to Saturday's Dodger game and this is all I saw. Just as blurry too. Sat in the bleachers and the crowd was more interested in hitting these 99 cent store beach balls around than the game. Dodgers lost 9-3 but I have no idea how because I didn't see much of it. Grown men running through the bleachers, diving in front of little kids to smash the beach ball back up into the stands.

There was a pretty cool little girl though that kept stealing the ball from the ushers and bashing it back into the stands. All in all, pretty fun but guys kept showing up on base and I had no idea how they got there.

And yes, the Dodgers are going to the World Series where they will lose to the mighty Tigers.

Awesome.

These guys

rule. Living the American dream. I've lived in and around Venice for ten years now. They are out everyday with this cart, full of recyclable cans, bottles, whatever else, These guys must be making a mint. They rule. Plus, they've got plans. Whenver I pass by them, they're cooking up some other get rich quick scheme. Goes to show you what you can do when you make the decision to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Awesome.

My new favorite shop

This is my new favorite shop, solely because of the owner in the brown shirt. She was incredibly cute. If I hadn't been such a chickenshit with the camera phone, you could see her face and get the full effect of her beauty. Oh well, at least you can go shop there.

People living in shipping containers - Why won't the Dems allow the tax cuts we need?

So a friend of mine just told me she has to live in a shipping container. Her plight brings tears to my eyes. Someone told her that these two photos:




Will end up looking like this:



I didn't have the heart to tell her she'd been had. Hope is supposed to be valuable for some people. Maybe she's one of them. But seriously, a shipping container? Send donations.

Venice revival

This was a weird thing a few weekends ago. Several fresh faced young Christians decided to hold a church service just off the boardwalk on a SATURDAY afternoon. Could hear the music for blocks and blocks. The homeless people were really into it. My personal favorite is the guy or girl with the big afro in the front row.

Bullfight

So I went to a bullfight in Tijuana this past weekend. Pretty awesome. Did the full Hemingway, drank a lot, cheered the bulls. No one got gored though. Maybe next time.

This is on my camera phone. The fifth kill.
