Donkey Charge On an afternoon stroll through Yountville. Amidst all the classiness this hood ornament stood out. I wish I could’ve seen this guy in action.

Meat Gorilla Barbeque adventure! I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Gotta trust a pile of meat that comes out of a boxcar.

ARTFART Along my Monday morning commute down the southwestern stairwell of the Stockton Tunnel. And as Artfart lived, Artfart died. He was gone; painted over by Tuesday morning.

Elephant Teapot Browsing the clearance housewares at Macys. I’m not sure what’s worse–the monkey on the elephant’s back encouraging his tea addiction or the awkward design of placing the spout right beneath the handle.

Bum Life Driving the mean streets of the outer Richmond. Happened upon this exhibitionist who has forsaken walls and decided to make this street corner his apartment.

Chrysanthemums In heaven at the Conservatory of Flowers. For the Lunar New Year mums and kumquats galore.

Valentine’s Goatse At the family-friendly Noe Valley Starbucks. Their graphic design team really wants to extend a warm gesture to all. Happy Valentine’s Day, guys!

Brass Band Waiting outside the Roxie. Adult band geeks marching through the streets like it’s New Orleans. Or something.

Walk Thru Wendy’s Post-dinner fast food run. Taken a little too literally by the man in front of us at the drive thru.

Double Scoop Ice cream overdose at Humphry Slocombe. A place where the ice cream flavors are as charmingly curious as the wall decor.
