No, it hadn't ever occurred to me either. And I love to complain about having only food truck options for lunch daily here in Burbank.
But this turned out to be delicious.

Squirrel!
Today I am wearing a shortish skirt with squirrels on it.
It's hot out and I read somewhere that people my age don't really age anymore, so I can wear all the squirrels I want. You should too.

On Suddenly Understanding Selfies
Traveling alone and not taking photos of myself never seemed to be a problem to me, until I was asked for a photo of me in a specific shirt. I've written a recommendation for one of my favorite independent designers, for her website, but you know what I don't have?
Photos of me overseas actually wearing the clothes she designed.
I do, however, have a lot of photos of my feet, and occasionally, my hands.

Call It Homage. Bus Homage.
Finally, a bus you can sleep on! How novel!
Only...not to rain on anyone's parade, but this has been going on in China for years. I spotted my first sleeper bus in 2001, and I'm sure they'd been around a long time before I first saw one.
I actually took one in 2011. Comfy.
I know we love to steal ideas and give them their own personal outlets and lamps, but...god, we're just ridiculous.
Will I be taking a sleeper bus? No, I'll stick with Spirit out of Burbank Airport, because I like a nice shower in the morning mixed with my cheap fare, but it's good we're finally beginning to catch up to China.

A Step Up
I got some photos of the completed new stoop yesterday. It looks so great! Plus, now I can get mail for my own little downstairs studio instead of it all going into the mail slot on the main door.
I wish I could go to Jersey City and sit on it for a while. I could sit and contemplate just how far I plan to go with renovating this 1895 row house on Breadalbane Terrace.

Breadalbane Terrace
I stumbled over this while searching for info on why my house is on Breadalbane Terrace in Lafayette, Jersey City.
The fellow on the left was descended from the Scottish Highlander Breadalbane branch of the Campbell Clan. He was a huge figure in the development of the Lafayette area.
Which might explain why my house says BREADALBANE on the side of it, but what I don't know is why the carving is in perfect shape and if it was restored to match exactly what was there before. I assume so, but I'm going to need to do some more digging.
