Raccoononball plant?

Thanks to everyone who wrote in about the Blue Passion Flower (Passiflora caerulea)! What a totally amazing plant. Plant ID could be a regular thing on HaFoSaFo, because while I know there is a lot of good edible wild forage growing in the parkways in our neighborhood, there are some things that are just downright odd. For instance, near a clump of wild fennel, was this arm of spikey balls attached to what looks like Tommy Chong sized giant Marajuana leaves. There is a clump of these guys growing in the vicinity of the former Sunset Landslide.

Anyone got some ideas? I recently pulled my motorcycle over on the side of Chevy Chase in the vicinity of Desconso Gardens just in time to see some critter probably a raccoon, kick one of these fruits down the slope at me. So they can be used as cannonballs, but aside from that... I just don't know.

Beverly Hills Two and a Hafo

Springtime in LA brings out the attractive and scantily clad actor/models. These two were seen vamping, voguing and preening on Alvarado Street trying to get noticed for a sequil - Beverly Hills Chihuahua: Two 'n a HaFoSaFo.

Alien Life Form

Kudos to anyone who can identify this Psychomadiggley flower growing out of trash and roaches by the 7-11/Holistic Collective about Yonder.

Mike Cornwall, high on my list as one of the world's nicest guys, has been smelling lately like a totally awesome Business Plan. On wheels. Now with solar.

I made a guitar repair shop inside a vintage 1973 SnapOn truck. I owned and ran Silverlake Guitar Shop from 1999 through 2006, and I have many great memories and friends from that time. Since then, I've been working on guitars for bands in the studio and on the road, and fixing gear for old friends. In 2010, between doing guitar tech work on a couple recording sessions, I was hired to set up shop in a studio and put all the instruments in proper working order. Working this way was such a positive and pleasant experience, I got to thinking about finding a way to service studios and collections with a mobile workshop, in which I could concentrate fully on the instrument without distractions. I started looking for a vehicle that would have the right amount of space and appliances, and I found this GrummanOlsen StepVan to be perfect for a shop.
