More Safeway concerns...

So, not really Safeway.  It's more their patrons.  Well, one in particular.  Besides me.

The photos do not do justice to the complete funkiness of this car.  I don't even know where to start.

I'm not a big Beemer fan, but this just seems unkind.

If this was even sorta kinda even an art project, like this from Daily Cognition:

Grass Growing on Car

But it's not.  And it's not like the weather here is so dire and moist that all cars look like this.  Just this one, so far.

I mean, really.  Moss growing, actually growing on the bumper?

I'm caught between a carrot and mossy spot.

I'm really worried about Safeway...

No photoshop or knives were involved.

Mark of the beast...

66060.

Leaving beautiful clean Canada.  The Peach Arch border crossing going south.

Moody clouds and fog both sides of the border.

Some Vancouver architecture...

Ali's observation was that everything looks so much better in Vancouver.  Of course being right on the water, with beautiful mountains soaring up, and crisp clean salt air is pretty irresistible.

When Stephen Colbert was in Vancouver for the Olympics, his said that he met some drug addicts there and that they were "the NICEST drug addicts" he'd ever met.

Sorta kinda like that.

Vancouver signage...

A lot of skid row hotel signs.

Some shots are through the sunroof, at a traffic light, shot backwards without looking. 

Mostly I'm in love with the  "Save-On-Meats."  A pink neon pig?  C'mon.

I have to go back to Vancouver just to get a good shot of it.

Last lunch before we parted ways.

Check out the pizza oven - open WIDE!

Wowzers!
