The playland area in front, though, hasn't held up to the scrappers and barn owls. There's some vinyl-rubber net ladder melted around a fiberglass onion ring and the ball pit puts off a lot of steam when it rains. It's most certainly filled with spiders and ghosts. The whole place is just a mess. The persistent chemical smell has forced the daycares to reroute their rope...

Time to clear the cobwebs.
Baked goods. Charlie horses. The 5th of December.

It's no use. I still love that lamp.

There are many reasons to force a child to eat a plate of charcoal.

Most of the good ones concern saving the roofing tiles for yourself.
