can you comb out a hairball?

This image came from flickr, part of a photo pool there you can visit by going here. A gal named June sent me a little note tipping me off to it, she spent last year taking a bunch of photos of these strange animals. I especially love the trend of buying old Uhaul trucks and converting them for cardboard hauling. The back box they rip off before building wooden walls is solid aluminum, they probably pay for half their truck just by recycling it.

I finished my final voice over for the cardboard documentary and Fisher is hard at work with a final edit. Should be done by the end of this month. While I was at Fisher’s place, he showed me his collection of artwork done by a local maniac who wanders the street screaming when he’s not drawing in chalk and pencil on anything in the neighborhood.

The hooded figures appear in all his work, I believe they symbolize Mayans. He also writes Zapata somewhere on the canvas, if that’s what you call an old pizza box or the sidewalk. Fisher’s roommate Carlos explained to me who Zapata was – “a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution of 1910,” according to wikipedia. The man had a very awesome mustache as well.
