Doom (t)
The Tevis Block (Kern County Land Company) building was only one of a few unreinforced masonry buildings to survive the 1952 earthquake. The building has been reinforced since then.

So Tired (t)
Octavio the Telephone Pole has stood on this spot for years. He's seen faces. He's seen clouds. He's carried the burden of lights, speakers, banners and bird poop. Octavio is old and his mind is not hitting on all cylinders any more. But, every once in a while, Octavio flashes on life before insanity and then, just as quickly, he's gone again.

Looks like this guy taken out by a sharpshooter. No way this would have ended well.

A man holding hostages inside a building in California that houses a bank branch and school district office has been shot and killed by the FBI. The Bakersfield Police Department said in a statement Wednesday that the suspect was killed in “an officer-involved shooting involving Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel.” Police say all the hostages are free and none was harmed. The standoff in downtown Bakersfield began Tuesday afternoon when officers responded to a call of a bomb threat at the Chase Bank building. Bakersfield Police said the man barricaded himself inside with several people. Two were released Tuesday after negotiations with authorities. Nearby buildings, including City Hall and the police headquarters, were evacuated and some roads were closed.
Well, that's unusual... bank robbery with hostages, and a bunch of people locked down in buildings around the bank.

Somewhere in the City is an annual high stakes poker game. Invitation only. Not always the same players. Generally, City Departments with the least to gain are invited.

The Time Is? (t)
Clint had an easy job. All he had to do was keep three clocks synchronized. Unfortunately, the clocks were pretty prominent, so, he was always hearing about it when the time didn't jive on all three clocks.

Woody the Cat was very touchy-feely. Nothing made him happier than preventing Dad from doing anything except being a comforter.

Disregard (t)
Another example of the total disregard of nature. Someone relocated and defaced this perfectly beautiful boulder. When will people come to their senses? It was probably a prank committed by drunken college students!
