The Root Of The Problem Is The Roots

…autumnal colours are aglow in the valley….   …but leaves aren’t the only thing falling…. …I was staring out the window admiring a deluge of swirling orange, yellow & brown leaves when I noticed traffic backing up outside the shop….   …one of two “beautification” trees in the ‘hood came down in the same big equinoctial gust that the leaves were enjoying… …I missed getting a shot of it sprawled across the road because a customer (customers!…with their needs & wants…always getting in the way of “art”!) came in as I was rushing out with my camera…   …it would seem that planting trees in confined, concrete edged, tar-seal surrounded flower beds is not great for their root development…       …snap!

Not An Every Day Occurrence

…well, a white car parked outside the shop is an everyday occurrence…

….but not one with that many kegs in it…

 

…follow that car!

 

…(kegs shown are only three of the five I could see).

Kiwi Ingenuity

…as seen outside the shop…

….vehicle mounted clothes drying rack….

…demonstration model, comes with outsize, white, showroom y-fronts attached….

 

…and on that note I may be away from here for a week…

…holed up in a seedy motel room with the other members of the jury…

…on the lam from friends of the bad guys…

…the ones whose friend we’re about to  send down….

…gulp.
