Tidy Up
I don't know about you folks, but, when we make a mess, we have a crack squad come in for the clean up.

Summit (t)
Antimony loves this time of year. It's when his backyard is full of tall plants. It doesn't happen every year, but, when it does, Antimony climbs them all continuously day and night. Ants like that!

The Top (t)
Well, when Herschel told Maryanne they would live in a penthouse, Maryanne didn't quite expect the marvelous view they would have. All things considered, the location was perfect. It might just take a little figuring to get the piano delivered.

Naked (t)
Lee turned twenty one today and was very excited. His buddies were taking him to a gentleman's club for his first time. He didn't sleep all night thinking about it. Turns out Lee's buddies don't spell well.

It Worked! (t)
Suzie and Lyle downloaded a bunch of free witch spells from the internet. They had tried about six of them with minimal success. The seventh spell, Heads Off, was a different story, which, unfortunately, neither Suzie nor Lyle will be able to tell.

We May Have A Problem
This is what happens when the focus is on witches. That spray you used for bugs turns out to have been a concoction for a "make 'em big" spell.

Go With The Flow (B/W)
This is the headwater of Jug Creek. The flow is regulated by Baxter Watergate. Sometimes, Baxter forgets to turn on the water and the creek runs dry.

It Seemed Innocent
As far as the visitors knew, this was just another chance to look at old tombstones. Little did they know that the caretaker had a few open holes he needed to fill to reach his monthly quota.

Don't Know Nothing (t)
Thadeus was like most teenagers. His parents warned him about letting go. He jumped anyway.

Dual Burners (t)
Zeek the Chimney Sweep cleans these stacks four times a year. That seems rather frequent considering the chimneys are only used once a month. However, witch debris is pretty messy and then there's that little forensic item called evidence!

Alone (t)
Jerome was kind of standoffish. He felt all the support he required he already had. He didn't need to mingle with other structures. As years passed, Jerome grew sad and unfulfilled until he realized it was because he had no contact with other structures. Jerome joined a tower support group and got a good line on himself.

Fellowship (t)
Glóin the Dwarf finally found a place he could stay out of the limelight generated by that bastard, Tolkien, and further popularized by Peter Jackson's movies. What a pain in the butt. Everyone always asking, "Do you know Frodo? What's Gandalf really like? How hot was Smaug?"

Dribble (t)
It was pretty apparent to Scott that the kayak he had lugged the last mile wasn't going to be much use today. So much for the Class V rapids touted by the local tourism board.

Hot Dog (t)
Corky Jones recorded a rockabilly tune called "Hot Dog" for the Pep label in 1956 (maybe). Turns out Corky Jones was a pseudonym for Buck Owens. He didn't want the fact that he'd recorded a rock n' roll tune to hurt his country career. It didn't.

Erosion Control (t)
Noise pollution is a problem on this stretch of beach. The boys get a little boisterous at times. On the positive side, the boys help greatly by minimizing sand erosion.

Fortuitous (t)
Sometime around 1863, Meestered was hauling wagons on this path. It also happened to be the year he slurped up some water from the Everlasting Pool of Life. Back then, the pond was called mud hole no. 3. Well, naturally, one of the side effects was longevity, but, also, ever since that day, Meestered was able to talk. Kind of unusual for a horse.

Smack
Leo is used to getting smacked by bugs while on his bike. But, Leo knew that this was the biggest, ugliest bug he had ever seen!

Doom (t)
The Tevis Block (Kern County Land Company) building was only one of a few unreinforced masonry buildings to survive the 1952 earthquake. The building has been reinforced since then.

Take-Off (t)
Chip the Ground Squirrel was getting pretty tired of breaking claws and teeth. Everywhere he dug he ran into concrete or metal. What happened to the dirt?

So Tired (t)
Octavio the Telephone Pole has stood on this spot for years. He's seen faces. He's seen clouds. He's carried the burden of lights, speakers, banners and bird poop. Octavio is old and his mind is not hitting on all cylinders any more. But, every once in a while, Octavio flashes on life before insanity and then, just as quickly, he's gone again.

Not Necessarily So (t)
Fernando was on his third power drink of the morning when he decided he could leap from his balcony to the suspended platform the window washers were using on the building next to his. Evidently, power drinks do not enhance leaping capabilities as Fernando soon realized after his leap.

One Way (t)
Grandpa is always up for a little excitement, so Daniel and Joyce took him to the top of Lombard Street. It's a good thing they had him strapped into his wheelchair when they gave him that little push to get him going! Unfortunately, they forgot to empty Grandpa's colostomy bag before the ride.

Some Pollutants Are Not Equal (t)
Everyone within a five mile radius was very happy. It was kind of like someone turned a switch on. Turns out, the Jeremiah O'Brien was baking cookies and exhausting THC particles from the stack. The locals asked the Jeremiah to hang around in port for a few more days.

Somewhere in the City is an annual high stakes poker game. Invitation only. Not always the same players. Generally, City Departments with the least to gain are invited.
