Happy #buynothingday!

Instead of shopping, if you’re not working already, why don’t you go into work: there won’t be anyone there.IMG_6929.JPG

Or if that doesn’t appeal, maybe find a local rec center or gym and shoot some ball: take a friend, as it’ll likely be rather quiet today.

Or spend time with family, relax, enjoy the weather if it’s nice, take some naps, maybe eat a turkey sandwich (with the mayo and cranberry sauce and maybe a bit of greenbean casserole on some cheap white bread=YUM), whatever you do, just don’t buy anything.

I don’t always find interesting things on the GSV, for work or personal reasons, but these caught my eye.

First, the crossed flags on the front of this car… that, and the color just felt right. IMG_6809.JPG
And second, I initially liked the strange digital artifacts in this one… I’m not sure what caused the smearing and all, but it’s groovy.

And then, in looking at it just now, it sorta reminds me of Granny & Grandpa’s house in Riverside… but only sorta.
