What I Saw – Sunday, July 29, 2012

I’m not even going to try to explain this photo.

Two guys were rolling a tire back and forth across Sixth Street. Harmless enough . . .

. . . but they kept rolling it as vehicles used the road . . .

. . . causing the vehicles to slow down . . .

. . . or stop.

What I Saw Recently

Photos from around town over the last month or so . . .

Notice of Public Tax Sale

This property will be sold if back taxes are not paid. More evidence that, unless you hold an allodial title, you never really own your home; you just rent it from the government. And it’s also an argument for the abolition of property tax.

Yesterday, this lookout kept watch over the Susquehanna from his post at River Park.
