I was particularly intrigued by the 413 triangle tribute at the top.
Here's what ChatGPT has to say: "The murals serve as a way for people to pay tribute to Kobe, and they also serve as a way for people to express their feelings and emotions about his untimely death."

| Yvonne De Carlo Star - Los Angeles 2022 |
"In 1971, she played Carlotta Campion and introduced the popular song "I'm Still Here" in the Broadway production of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies."
Last October Mike happened to be walking on Hollywood Blvd and was pleased to see Ms. De Carlo's star, as he's a great fan of the original cast album of Sondheim's Follies.

On our front yard fence. The little bird waited until I went back into the house to retrieve the Olympus E-M1II.

| Covanta Sign, Crows Landing Facility - Stanislaus County 2022 |
So, slightly more journalistic work from me, compared to my December, 2009 post. This time I got off at the Crows Landing offramp, got out of the car to shoot some pix, then got back in and drove off. Yes, windy.
There's a Stanislaus Covanta website, for those who might be interested.

Hm. That "Z" used to be an "S" 10 years ago.
Alas, Terrapin Crossroads has now closed. And I never availed myself of an opportunity to have any draft beer there!
