Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.11 :: Baby it's cold outside

Woke up to below-zero temps today, much colder than it's been in a month. Brrr! At least the sun's shining, I suppose...

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.10 :: The Walker

I don't recall his real name, but this gentleman and his wife are known as "The Walkers." They walk (sometimes bicycle) everywhere, and own no car. Doesn't matter where they're going or what the weather. Whatever their motivation -- economic, environmental, health -- I'm impressed.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.09 :: Mini-convoy

It only takes two to make make a mini-convoy. In MY book, anyway. (Side note: I don't think I've seen that "NM" semi before...)

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.05 :: Sneaky shredder

I know what you're up to, Shred-it, and I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. FOR SHAME.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.04 :: Li'l Yellow Truck

Li'l yellow truck, li'l yellow truck, li'l yellow truck...

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.04 :: Jetteriffic!

Somebody's gettin' cleaned out today!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.04 :: Parking lot or alley?

Nice parking job there, Jeeves.

This one's for you, Anonymous.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.26 :: Help has arrived!

Huzzah! We're plowed out! Thank you, Mr. Snow-man!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.26 :: It's baaaack!

I'm not sure why I thought we were done with winter.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.25 :: Bridge to Nowhere

Word on the street is that the downtown Hy-Vee will be torn down to make way for a civic center expansion of some sort. Discuss.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.13 :: 13th Inning Stretch

I think it was Elle McPherson coming to say "hi" but suddenly was too shy to speak to me and ordered the driver to keep going.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.13 :: Belly of the Beast

Like Jacque Cousteau exploring the magnificent beauty of Earth's undersea realm, Alley-blog! is fearless in its pursuit of the truth of the street. Word.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.12 :: The official end of Christmas

The city crew finally took down the holiday decorations outside Alley-blog! HQ on Thursday, Feb. 12th. SUMMER IS HERE!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.06 :: Friday Two-fer

Fed-Ex and Mystery Truck. Slow day in Alley-blog!land...

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.03 :: I (heart) the GOP

Love is in the air at the county Republican headquarters. Actually, the big wreath in the lower right corner looks like something you'd see at a funeral. Poor choice of arrangement, IMHO.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.02 :: Shredder du jour

Move over, bacon. There's a new shredder in town!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.02.02 :: Beermuda Triangle

Another day, another 73 kegs vanish in Alley-blog!land.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.30 :: Breakfast

Alley-blog! HQ welcomes its Friday morning breakfast delivery. (For the record, we prefer our kegs sunny side up.)

Alley-blog! :: 2009.01.29 :: Face off!

In a world gone mad... Only ONE TRUCK can live...!
