I have a route when I walk through my neighborhood (for exercise). It involves looping passed the local elementary school. The sidewalk runs along the one side of the school, where there is a little garden started by a spouse of a former teacher. Both the spouse and the teacher have moved on. And the garden was left to itself. Since they were native plants, they thrived and grew out of control. I passed this garden almost daily.
So imagine my surprise this week, when I walked by and saw this!The garden was in mid clean up and… Holy Mudder of Peanut Butter! A BLUE gnome! What the…???!!!

Do you think that the gardener reads Randie & Ryan? or Squid Row… or is this just coincidence?



Here’s Harold getting around Portland, Oregon last week. Portland knows how to do Mass Transit. Harold loves to ride the light rail, and Tri-Met made getting around easy.
