Visited my favorite Portland tacarrhea landmark:
"The spilled ice cream that has escaped being cleaned since 2017".
To my horror I noticed (while munching on some bomb tacos) that the Milk/CornSyrupSolidsMonoDiglyceridesDextrose formation was half the size it was just a month ago. Unlike the polar ice caps, my favorite stain is not disappearing due to human activity.
It's good old entropy eroding Dingo's castle.
Bummer. I couldn't bring myself to take a photo.
I want to remember it as it is in this photo. Robust, large and clearly in charge.
This mess is special because it's a fighter but its also amazing because this restaurant doesn't sell ice cream.
I'll miss you Dumpy!

Left my guitar outside a shop for a while today
Lotta grumps on the grill today. I was almost one of them. After making nondreds of dollars busking on Hawthorne we did what clowns do and got distracted.
We interviewed folks with an empty camera and frolicked around with sidewalk chalk, posed for pics with tourists, went to the grocery store, found our way home.
Then I realized I had left my guitar in front of this store a LOOOONG time ago.
I jumped on my bike, flew down some streets, turned the corner and bam headwind (wap waaa) and I'm 10' up in the crows nest of my bike fighting a wall of wind while hoping I didn't just lose "Trigger".
I got to the spot and pulled the guitar out (like Excalibur) from where I put it next to the bush.
About that time I tuned around to see Olive Rootbeer catching up on her bike.
She was shaking her head and saying "You gotta be the luckiest clown I ever met."
She says that a lot.
I think "Maybe I know how to set stuff out of the way+ people are nice +it looks like a trap.
I think the number one reason my guitar was unharmed is that folks were too grouchy out on the grill to care about ground score guitars.
Hahaha.
I wasn't so grouchy after getting my friend back.
The Kids at Heart toy shop crew were a riot.
Their pleasant reactions when we came in and voluntold them we were gonna occupy their slice of sidewalk for shenanigans. They were like "ok, clowns go be clowns, good luck. Need water?"

Ate a booger today.
Ate a booger today. Yeah not bragging or complaining and it's not on my usual menu.
Someone at a cafe was staring at the side of my head. People do that.
I kind of felt pressure to perform (for me, not them)and even though I'm hard wired to make a scene, I'm not hip to spending a lot of money on special effects.
The goal was to motivate him away before he asked a stupid question like "Wudder you sum kinna mexkin leprichaun?"
Yeah people say that to me this time of year.
I pretended not to notice him, took my time, looked distracted and slowly dined on my nose litter.
Them Presto! Like a magic trick the annoying prick was gone.

"SEA WEED!"
Olive went to the coast yesterday. I had to hang back to get some stuff done. She asked me if she could bring me anything. I enthusiastically said "SEA WEED!"
