I would like to present to all those free boxers out there the free "box" photo of the week:
After I took this photo, I biked ten blocks down the road and had to make a u-turn to check this out:
Yes, it is a broken chair, but notice the bird attached to it? Well, I decided I needed this bird for my potential Halloween costume, and I also decided I needed to add it to my bicycle basket right then and there. As I approached the fake bird I was taken aback a bit because it kind of looked real. I mean the eyes were definitely not real, but I think the feathers are actually from a real bird; they appear to be glued onto some sort of Styrofoam body. When I saw the Styrofoam I knew that the bird itself was fake, so I disrupted the few bugs that were checking out its feathers and snatched it up for my bicycle. I then rewired it to my bicycle.
Now everyone I meet can enjoy this bird so lovingly nestled amongst the fake orchids that adorn my basket. I think it breaks up the cuteness of my bike a bit by adding a touch of creepiness, and don't worry the bugs are gone. They weren't permanent inhabitants, just enjoying its feathers on a warm, sunny afternoon.
I was out kind of late last night and riding home in the rain. I had brought rain gear because I knew the rain was inevitable so the ride was actually pretty enjoyable. When I was about 12 blocks from home I found this bouquet of flowers up for grabs. They were resting on a lamp post just waiting for someone to take them home. The coolest part is they pretty nearly match the fake flowers that I have on my basket.
I have to say that yesterday was a pretty good free box day, and all of these free box events occurred on SE Yamhill. Strange.
