T.L. Maxwell's (t)
One of the finest restaurants in Bakersfield, California. Well, that's what their website claims, and, actually it is very good. It is located in one of the oldest buildings in town, the Haberfeld Building, on the 17th Place entrance which is pretty much an alley with a lot of character.

The Summit (t)
For a number of years, it was very popular among the aphids to scale these river birch branches. Once they reached the top, the birds would pick them off. I never thought about aphids being intelligent, but, they eventually realized climbing to the top wasn't always the best thing to do.

I've Had My Milk, Now What? (t)
Woody the cat was telling me about getting his paws wet from this morning's rain. He wasn't very happy about it and really thought he should have a second serving of milk.

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!

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?"

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!"

Progress
Terrance is really tired. He can't remember how long he's been flying, but, he knows he's really hungry and thirsty. He thought it wouldn't be any problem flying to the other side of the photo, but, he just doesn't seem to be making any progress. It kind of made him think he was fighting against the government, not air.

Tanked
The oldtimer bulls at the Bena Corral like to scare the youngsters by telling them if they don't give them their carrots, they will be sent to the slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse was really a fertilizer plant that closed down in the 1940s, but, the old boys get a lot of carrots with the story.
