This looked like a homemade sign, so it appears that somebody means business, but that somebody has it all wrong, me thinks. “Here lies the owner of the last dog…” is more apt. Until doggies learn to bag their own deposits, the job’s on us, their people, so we’re accountable. And yes, they should be curbed, but mistakes happen. I don’t think there’s a homeowner who wouldn’t excuse a logistical boo-boo as long as it was cleaned up.
Okay, so maybe I read too much into this. Argh.

Is my post title an oxymoron or what? For the past month I’ve been creeping into strangers’ yards, snapping away, hoping to get pics of some really good cheesy Halloween stuff, but realized quickly that besides the artsy-carved pumpkins, everything else was plenty cheesy but was also plenty awful. I’m talking about those white-plastic-trashbag ghosts hung from trees—c’mon people! I was pleased to find though that my favorite Halloween yard art was also found on the west coast by Jason of Jason in Hollywood.
I did find one other decoration that is a little different, though not exceptional. It’s a hologram, kind of like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on a tombstone. I admit it’s lame, but it’s the best I could do. I think the economy has something to do with it.
Anyway, enjoy Halloween if it’s your thing and be careful in traffic tonight!
