Seen around the streets of Sactown recently
Bird word: A large red tropical parrot was seen frolicking with its human pet on a stoop on T Street, midtown.
Spelling error: Near Broadway, on 24th Street, the side of a bagel shop proclaims “University Bagles”–what *is* a bagle, anyway? (Aside from a computer virus?)
Turbo veggie diesel: A Mercedes on 21st Street proclaiming by bumper sticker that it ran on vegetable oil. The scent of grandma’s fried chicken coming through my air vents from the Mercedes at 8 am confirmed this progressive and fantabulous claim.
Truck munch: A big rig on W Street was turning right when a little silver car tried to sneak in behind him. The silver car got crunched (no one appeared hurt) under the big rig. Looking in my rear view (continues after the jump)
mirror, I noticed the great irony of it all–the truck had huge jaws with sharp teeth painted on it. It definitely ate that silver car up, that’s for sure–
Floating vandals: A riverboat, easily viewed from the Sacramento River bike trail, was “decorated” with some very un-PC spray painted grafitti. Which raises the question: if you tag something that nearly no one sees, is it worth it?
Tennis anyone?: A sack of what appeared to be tennis balls was hanging from the rear bumper of a very large Dodge-type truck. It made no sense–was the truck owner attempting to create the very gonads that he or she was compensating for by buying a truck of that size? Someone, please, explain the balls in a sack to me?

Oh yeah? Well, I saw a door in a middle of a house! Check it out: http://flickr.com/photos/matthewkeys (it’s there somewhere).
You forgot to mention that the red door on a green house is on the second floor, leading into thin air. Although, actually, the air in Sacramento isn’t thin, it’s thick.
I’d love to pull that photo up into a post, but you’d have to give us permission. I wish I could take pictures like you. For now, only word pictures…
