One Big Tool…Really!
Fresh Fire on the 101…
Not particularly gay, but momentarily hot. Roadside grass fire in Ukiah.
Whip those Mules! Really.
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!

NOT Gay. Just Happy…
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?
Does a Bear Piss in the Desert?
Why, yes. Yes, he does. He also goes shopping. Wonder what the Bear bought?

Emigrant: The Other White Meat?
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
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.
