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.

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.

You Are Next, Bud!
This is Woody the Cat's "I can take this guy" look when he thought it was time for his toy to play.

I suspect that a night visit may be in order.

Wrong Story
it was at this moment that Darth realized he wasn't dressed in his normal garb and that wasn't Obi-Wan. This was the beginning of a bad dream!

Possible Delay (t)
I sure hope things go alright. We had Rudolph over for dinner last night and I think he had a little too much eggnog.

Contained (t)
These signs used to tear up the town when they were younger. They would stay lit up all night long, partying! You would expect them to mellow out a bit when they reached a certain age, but, it didn't happen. Eventually, they had to be contained for their own safety.

Heartbreak (t)
River Birch: "I'm telling you, Doc, it feels like my skin is peeling off and I itch all the time. I've tried changing soap, shampoo, diet! Nothing seems to help. What? Psoriasis? I haven't tried that yet. Is it over-the-counter?"

The Gathering (t)
Every year about this time, a new group of friends got together to take bets on who would be the last on the tree. Unfortunately, there was no joy in being last because there was nobody to share the moment with.

What He Saw (t)
An hour after ingesting wild mushrooms, Theodore began to doubt his choice. Perhaps the ones growing in the manure were not proper salad ingredients.

Protected
Rock piles on Rancheria Road in Kern County, California almost always have an Oak tree growing close by. Lizards need shade once in a while.

Tanked
Atticus Lambord was known for his mountain dew. It had a distinctive gas tank rust flavor. But, after the first sip, you couldn't really taste anything anyway, so, no one fussed about the odd flavor. One of his most popular batches was what he called '84.

Truck Warmer (t)
From the way back machine in 2003. Woody the cat looks for the highest point which happens to be on top of the old 1984 Chevy pickup. A good vantage point.

Out Of Bounds (t)
I used to play golf once a year. I haven't done that for a number of years now. I'd rather shoot photos than hit a little ball. However, I am still so athletic that even once a year was enough to keep me sharp. I could hit those rocks every time I played; whether I was aiming at them or not!

Stringing You Along (t)
I like electricity. Electricity powers my refrigerator and my computer. I can get something cold and I can get the internet. What more do you need?

Forbidden Paths (t)
Not everything is always open. However, usually, a good chain and truck will take care of the roadblock. Not that I'm condoning trespassing, just saying!

Play Ball (t)
The Rangers are looking for a pitcher and catcher. Preferably, someone who has connections for uniforms, baseball equipment and access to a ball field. Other than that, they are ready to play ball!

Counting Cars (t)
I've noticed there aren't as many railroad car loggers out and about as there used to be. It appears the railroad has trained birds to do the logging for them. The birds must have quite a memory because I don't see any of them writing down figures.

Did You Drop This? (t)
There is nothing like late afternoon light for photography. A natural golden hue. Although, I have to admit that sometimes I have a hard time differentiating objects as the light wanes. I don't know how many shots I took of this object before I realized it wasn't an asbestos rock.

Dirt Is Just Fine (t)
Woody the cat is not picky about where he lies down, which, at times, causes problems. Like the time he laid in a hill of red ants. He kind of gave me that look of what the heck and spent the next hour dancing and scratching.

Regular Visitor (t)
This guy has visited for the past five years. He always lands in the same aptos blue tree, poops in the same spot and then says, "Well, did you miss me? Got any 70s music for me?" To which I always reply, "Quit crapping on my tree!"

Odd Man Out (t)
You have to look quick to catch Cedar Waxwings around our place. They zoom into the area in droves and then disappear leaving Robins behind.

Alert (t)
Mockingbirds seem to be aware of everything that goes on around them. I think it is a learned skill; maybe a survival instinct. I mean, you really have to be alert to keep from getting shot because you are singing at 3 AM in the morning!

You Are Next (t)
I am always suspicious of vultures since they tend to congregate. However, this osprey was overly interested in my movement. He followed me for about twenty minutes. Turns out, he just wanted to borrow my cell phone for a quick call.

Don't Want To Be Here
Every cow I've talked to has always mentioned this is the one place they don't want to be caught at. Too much slice and dice after the truck ride.

Broken Bond (p)
When things are left unattended, they tend to break down. Then again, there are things that are tended too much and break down; like government.

Complaint (t)
Cormorant: "You've got to be kidding! I can't even spell Phalacrocoracidae let alone pronounce the word! Who in their right mind came up with that term as a family name? I can hear it now. Hi, I'm William Phalacrocoracidae! What's your name? the ospreys will be falling out of the trees at that one!"

Zeroing In (t)
All you have to do is keep moving. Don't even think about resting. Flutter your eyelids. Wiggle your toes.
