this morning i left 2 items i no longer want atop the piano: sunglasses & a magnifier.

(laughs diabollically)

Last week I was in Santa Monica for back surgery. i had borrowed a wheelchair that had belonged to my grandmother and flown it out there (from Michigan) to use to get around SM. I used the buses a lot and my kids pushed my a lot on those very uneven streets...this was an old school/ hospital chair..not too great for city life.
On my last day, on the way to the bus stop to the airport one of the wheels started shimmying.... I told my kids..let's leave her here. ..maybe someone can fix her or at least use her to push stuff around ..so we did..
Colorado and fourth street....across from the Salvation Army.

recently i've been taking bee pollen for my allergies, so i decided to do something with the empty plastic jars that contained it: i filled both of them with little plastic toys that i bought at a thrift store. this morning i put one of these toy jars on the table in a laundromat, & yesterday i put the other on a table in a coffeehouse. i hope they'll delight & intrigue someone!

I used to paint cat and other found bones with red, green or black latex paint and leave them in the woods for others to find. Also, once, me and a girlfriend rolled some fatties and left them in various appropriate books (Ain't Nobody's Buisness if You Do', stuffy 'Dangers of Marijuana' books etc.) at the library.

It's great fun but thankless.

i'm in a tribe called post it. we have a thing where we write things on postit notes and leave them around. for example, when forced to go into best buy recently, i left notes all over the store that said "think globally, shop locally" and "keep manhattan money in manhattan" other notes i leave just for people to find say nice things, like "you have a nice smile" or "you are a strong person"

right now there is a circa 1960's leather office chair by my curb. it is cool, but i don't have a use for it anymore, because i found a cooler one. it will be gone by morning.

i leave all my aluminum cans by the curb for the 'can man' to pick up. he bikes all over town and picks up aluminum cans. i don't want him to go through my garbage can, because i have pet adn medical waste in it, and it is no problem to set out. now several other people in my neighbor hood have started doing it too.
