| Lian Xing - 10.24.05 |

| Up at the top of the alley at this favourite spot for mattress-dumping was this pink example with ironing board. The board's design included the words "lian xing" and "good health and happiness". "Lian" apparently means "just and upright" while "Xing" means "meting out of punishment against wrongdoers". Well, the board was upright at least. |

| Smart Set commented on 11.20.05 | | Dan, I noticed the other day that they've renewed the pavement here and the Yankee bollard has been swept away. (See #9506 for a nice close-up of it and a learned discussion about it.) |

| DVD Dan commented on 10.26.05 | | I like the scene as well, too bad you only have a yankee bollard. |

| Rebecca commented on 10.25.05 | | Yeah - mudbugs, yuck. I like this picture too, especially that building in the foreground. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 10.25.05 | | I see they're also known as mudbugs. BTW, I like this picture a lot. I took about 10 different angles on this one, so this pic had to earn its stripes. |

| Rebecca commented on 10.25.05 | | It didn't make me hungry looking at them though - they looked pretty creepy and kind of muddy. |

| Rebecca commented on 10.25.05 | | That's pretty far away from here but we had crayfish in the little creek that went by a house where I used to live here in Santa Cruz. |

| Smart Set commented on 10.25.05 | | Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 10.25.05 | | Or a crayfish, but pronounced "crawfish." |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 10.25.05 | | Yes, a crayfish. I think it's known as a crawdad in the US. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 10.25.05 | | Isn't that kind of like a small lobster that lives in a stream? |

| Nigel Wilson commented on 10.24.05 | | One does ask, is it possible to do any more loft conversions ? Even the conversion has had a conversion. You cray southerner types. |
