Cadillac Pick Up

This awesome Cadillac Pick Up combo has been rocking HaFoSaFo lately- proving that there may be no limit to how drastically one can alter a pick up, but apparently messing with the Caddy would not be cool. I think it is an awesome get together.

Amber Waves to Hafo Safo

 Amber waves is a tiny 1-acre farm in Norco California, a town known for its small family farms until they were gobbled up by developers of mini malls and big box stores during the 1980's land grab.

Debbie and Jim Hosely run a lovely little establishment catering to the seratonin deprived cute overload addicts making the leap from virtual to backyard for a dose of the adorable.

 

They breed show Silkies, a bantam chicken breed both gorgeous and goofy looking, and African Pygmy goats. We just managed to escape Amber Waves without a baby goat in the back of the Prius, but it was a near thing! Ouch they are painfully cute!

 

Instead, I left with these three lovely and, hopefully, ladies down my shirt.(it is said that one can't tell the boys from the girls with Silkies until one lays an egg or crows.)

 We also got to visit with the transportation of the future!

 Emu!

 Sebastopol Geese

 and many other lovely creatures well loved and pampered by proud proprietors.

Local Cat hits Nip Jackpot!

Serge, a local feline resident piebald, recently discovered a jackpot of catnip and can now help himself to its consciousness altering effects all day any day. But will he? It seems not. Local resident owner reports Serge only likes to partake at night with the company of his colony.
Meanwhile Hafo Safo human residents have seen medical marijuana and hydroponic shops open only to shut their doors again as the city prevaricates and legislation alters. Will the rise in homegrown catnip influence the human populace to get on back to the grow-your-own movement? Will stash boxes and record covers re-trend? Will people eschew the bud-only giant carbon footprint medical grades to rediscover the gentle highs of homegrown leaves, seeds and all?
If it happens, it's already happening in Hafo Safo.

FREEEEEEEE Mattress Speech

Street Mattress Art hits HaFoSaFo on this fine garbage day. Inspired by The Nothing Really Mattress:

and the Nothing Else Mattress

This fourth of July brought about much anarchy and mayhem, but the Most Ghetto Party award goes to the Mini Market 99 Cent Art studios for their Sidewalk Barby-Q with an above-ground mobile swimming pool made in the back of the Chevy S10. I suppose it doubled as fire prevention, should the rockets red glare alight too close to home. Walking about LA's East Side around Temple Street is our equivalent of running with the bulls, for danger and its flipside: the thrill of being alive.

Foot Doctor sees Sign Doctor

The Happy Foot / Sad Foot will spin again! Crews were working fervently at 10:00 Tuesday morning to put the spin back into our neighborhood landmark. Workmen assured that nothing will change; they are just repairing the motor. The sign has been immobile for months, but our oracle should soon be back and running (and hobbling)!

Totally Eclipse, Son.

HafoSafo Native Troy Burgos experiences the Solar Eclipse today through 4 pairs of sunglasses. It was awesome. I tried to take a picture of the actual event, but I am sure the internets are full of better images with better technology, but for innovative gazing Low Tech style Troy had it nailed.
