Innocent (t)
Unison Bovine exclamation: "What? You are accusing us of eating wildflowers? We would never, ever, eat wildflowers!"

Misconception (t)
Well, Breeze was really surprised when he realized he had signed up for three years as chief bottle washer at a Zen temple instead of getting a free carwash. At that moment, Breeze decided maybe his investment in the language course, Rosetta Stoned, was a waste of money!

The Time Is? (t)
Clint had an easy job. All he had to do was keep three clocks synchronized. Unfortunately, the clocks were pretty prominent, so, he was always hearing about it when the time didn't jive on all three clocks.

One Toke Over The Line (t)
The Devil was looking forward to a nice, relaxing afternoon. No decisions, no recruitment, just kick back and enjoy. The only thing he'd have to worry about was finding something to quench his munchies.

Small Fry
It was quite awkward. A fish out of water ambulating among the crowd. Unexpectedly, the fish opened his mouth and ate a bystander. How do you explain that? What do you say to the survivors. Let's have a fish fry?

Got Mule? (t)
Felix was torn between attending the Lion King or rocking out to Gov't Mule. Mule was doing half the show with Robby Krieger and Doors music. Felix had a tough decision to make. No, he didn't!

Tales Passed Down (t)
Rafferty didn't understand what the big deal was. The path was solid, mostly straight and pretty smooth. The elders told all the kids not to take the path. Those who did, never returned. Rafferty felt a little vibration and then blackness as the train passed. Another snail tale.

Excitable (t)
Tuer des Vikings lived on the top floor of this building. He was a binge TV watcher. He's been watching The Vikings and got rather excited when Paris was attacked by the Vikings. The residents below him didn't take too kindly to having oil and flaming arrows ignite their patios!

Basement (t)
Brad is a local undertaker. He made quite a bit of money stealing jewelry off the fingers of his clients. Eventually, Brad needed to invest his loot in something and he decided he wanted his own building. One stipulation for the building was that the basement had to be dirt so Brad could bury any future loot. When it came time to name Brad's building, well, Bradbury seemed to fit.

Zap (t)
Boris and Natasha sunk all their money into a multiple zip line business. According to surviving riders, it was an electrifying experience.

Life Is A Beach (t)
Old Boris was quite a web weaver. In fact, he was so good, he had a contract with the City to weave volleyball nets. In return, Boris had his own beach chair and all the insects he could eat free of charge. Things were great until Phylis Flatbottom sat in Boris' chair. The City is looking for a new web weaver.

Clock Two (t)
Ringing N. Myears lived in this clock tower for three years. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement with the City. Ringing maintained the clockworks and had a place to live.
The above story is fictitious. Ringing didn't maintain the clockworks and was evicted after two months for vagrancy.

Unusual Day
The pizza was hot and the beer was cold. Maybe a little too much beer was consumed. No one noticed the fish swimming through the air on Pacific Avenue.

Found (t) (B/W)
Almost 97 years later, Captain Boullion Beefheart remembered where he parked his boat. This was an extraordinary revelation considering Boullion was now 127 years old and hadn't had a coherent thought in over 50 years. The Captain's great great great granddaughter is convinced this new information was a result of the shock treatments she started administering a week ago.

Wasted (t)
Lex Boomler sat here all day enjoying the ocean view. He was amazed how the waves seem to undulate in different colors for hours on end. By evening, Lex realized he should research his wild mushroom choices a little better for his salads.

The Bulb
I had no idea one little light bulb could cause so much damage! I need to remember not to throw light bulbs.

Disregard (t)
Another example of the total disregard of nature. Someone relocated and defaced this perfectly beautiful boulder. When will people come to their senses? It was probably a prank committed by drunken college students!

Non Performance (t) (B/W)
Rorschach was a feisty dude. Always picking fights with other egrets over fishing rights. The funny thing is that Rorschach never caught anything. The fish could spot him a mile away. If it wasn't for Rorschach's mom, he would have starved to death. His mom gave him a gift certificate for a year's supply of Mickey D Filet-of-fish.

Rivalry
It's the same old story of sibling rivalry. Squeak and Pip are both interested in the leading role of the play, Silence of the Ewes. They haven't talked to each other in a week. Things were exacerbated when Pip blurted out, "there's no way we had the same Dad!"

Slow To Grasp
The last thing Horace saw while tooling down the freeway with his oversized load was the 14'-11" clearance sign. He didn't even have time to realize his 15'-3" height was a little high.

No Wax
Ikitearus always dreamed of soaring, even as a young kite. When he matured, Ikitearus had the opportunity to sail as much as he wanted and he really enjoyed it. The next step in his fantasy is to get rid of the dead weight that is always holding him down; the man that keeps him tethered to the ground! One of these days, Ikitearus will be truly free to soar.

Probing
Sometimes, it is nice to know the players. Like this sign indicates, a lot of shorebirds have long bills used for probing or picking. Kind of like our governmental representatives.

Thirds Blow
Ricco was still recovering from the massive honey bee smothering that took place yesterday. The bees pretty much massaged every part of his body and his vision is a little blurry today.

At first, Naomi thought there was a fire on the horizon. But, it didn't smell like smoke. Then, Naomi realized what it was. The stench of politics!
