i joined the first shootdowntown meet-up today, where a large group of us walked around downtown and took pictures. i did not take very many pictures. it will be interesting to see what everyone else came up with. they are starting to show up in the blogdowntown photo pool.

and this should quiet some of the people who are sick of puppy pictures in my photostream.

i wrote before about how i had idealab stock with no real prospects of seeing value from it. i don’t know what prompted it, but the brainiacs at idealab decided to pay out a dividend after the internet brands initial public offering.

for a very minor shareholder like me, it is an absolute pittance, but it is nice to start getting some of my money back on this investment.

it looks like someone did not appreciate the planters outside of blossom.

i wonder what will happen to the places that hose off their sidewalks every day if mandatory water restrictions are enacted.

it would probably also help if the city stopped overwatering all the trees that were placed in planters along main street.
