Perfectly Framed Eyeballs
This afternoon I left a Shop ‘n Save where I don’t usually shop. I saw these eyeballs staring out of the dark frames.
The building is unoccupied. Just thinking about why they were painted there.
Wordless Wednesday
Goose Jam
Freeport Road in Aspinwall. All traffic stopped. No young geese splatted on this busy road today. Goose is such a funny word.
And to make today’s post slightly more interesting check out TheFreeDictionary

Dog Parking at King Cross
Laura is the one who spotted this parking spot. We were waiting for a taxi.
She asked, “Did you photograph the Dog Parking? and I said, “HUH?” but there it was. Thanks, La. Good find.
Seems everyone took their dog right inside the shopping area. 
Park your dog at King Cross
Out of Place
Today’s idea for a post was Laura’s. She’s the one who spotted the bottle of OJ by the Halloween candy display.
“This should be a blog.” she said, when we came across another example.
Once you start noticing the items out of place, they are EVERYWHERE!
Look as you go around a store and you will find your own examples.
People change their minds when they shop, sure. But placing a refrigerated item on a shelf across the store?
At least take it to the register and state, “I decided to not buy this after all” and it can be reshelved appropriately.
And then there are those who litter the shelves. With garbage.
Presidents’ Day Party Supplies in the Strip District- Pittsburgh PA
After Christmas I was in the Strip District with Matthew and Natalya. We had coffee at La Prima and lunch at Sunseri’s. A little window shopping, popped into the kitchen store and then Wholey’s to see the fish.
One “must-see” store is Mike Feinberg’s on Penn Ave. Right now you can stock up on Leprauchan supplies. Or Mardi Gras masks and beads.
You name it- they have it. Postcards and old school candy, too.
This is what we saw up front. Presidents’ Day supplies. There were tons of New Year’s hats and horns, pre-packaged party supplies for any number of guests.
