Obama Car!
Obama bumper stickers have been on the rise this summer after the primaries (finally) ended, but these girls took it to a whole new level of awesomeness.
You know, after I slapped an Obama sticker on my bumper, I've been driving much nicer. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
I'll miss all the people I've met in the SF campaign... although I'm excited to meet he Austin crew.

Why Do Roaches Fall in Love?
Because they're waiting for the Caltrain. At night, the Castro St. Station in Mountain View comes alive with Roach Romance. The roach on the left here had a strangely elongated (and striped) abdomen. She waived it around in front of the darker roach, before sliding it under its face. Then, all of a sudden, BANG! They're mounted. Were they having sex? Do roaches even have sex?
The station is jam packed with roaches at night. Seriously. Most people don't even notice, but if you stand still and stay alert for movement, you'll notice there's dark shapes zipping about all around you. Literally hundreds of them are visible, on the platform, in the cracks, by the ticket machine, and especially near the bushes. This one dude came by and put his bag down on top of a shallow crevasse where 3 roaches were hiding. When he picked up the bag, all the roaches were gone!
I saw a cluster of 6 roaches fighting over a small piece of [was it chewed chicken? maybe the cob of eaten corn?]. They were seriously fighting. I got closer to take a picture, but their erratic movements made it tough. My camera phone(Motorola Razr) has no zoom, so I had to get within 6 inches to take the picture, and that's not an easy feat when roaches are fighting. Right before I got my shot, this couple walked by. The roaches got freaked, scattered all over the place, and the girl got really scared. Especially when she noticed how many there were.
On Weds I saw a brown rat at the station. I liked the rat much more than the roaches.

Balls
If left alone, they get huge. This snoozing hog was about 5 years old, weighing 1200 lbs. See that baby in the background, sitting in the stroller? Each hog testicle was larger than his head. Really.
Now, you're probably thinking it would be awesome to ride this beast. He's got a low center of gravity and powerful legs, and pigs are smart, which makes them easy to train, right? Nope. They're smart, but lazy. This guy is only awake for a few hours a day. And in those precious moments he eats, poops, and then goes back to sleep.
