Yes. It’s the world’s biggest hammer. Located at the south end of Eureka, on Hwy 101 at Broadway. This huge tool is the landmark for Pierson Building Center, Humboldt County institution, established in 1962. Support small businesses. Shop Local!

Whip those Mules, you mule-driving man! Actually, this site only endorses whipping willing humans. Sight seen on the menu cover of the Roadhouse Restaurant and Bakery in the Mohave desert town of Boron. Famous for the 20-mule team. Hmmm. 20-boy team could be entertaining!

Rainbow Ranch. Not Gay. Just Happy. Sight seen on CA State Hwy 16. But what does it MEAN? William Burroughs said that “language is a virus from outer space.” Well said, Bill! Wait… Did I say THAT?

Emigrant: The Other White Meat?

Posted on May 16, 2012 by | 6 comments

I came across this delicately-worded plaque commemorating the Donner Party at a snowy highway rest stop on a recent road trip on Route 80, over the Donner Pass. Notice that it says many died…but not all. No mention of how the survivors survived. Also, “emigrant” is misspelled.

Waterbury, CT: Mosque Under Construction

Posted on December 23, 2011 by | 6 comments

Just drove by an interesting construction project in Waterbury, CT: a mosque (the walls are blanketed in a particularly loud shade of green plastic sheets), partially obscured by pizza and furniture billboards.
