My enemy now has a name. I shall call him Paul Blart. CURSE YOU, PAUL BLART!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.04.10 :: Alert! Teen driver spotted near alley!

All points bulletin: Be on the lookout for a caucasian female driving a late '90s green sedan. She is armed with volatile teen angst, and will charge if threatened.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.04.06 :: Mating season

It's mating season once again in the alley. The males are rutting, while the females in estrus -- such as this beautiful and rare White-cheeked Boozehauler -- expose their hindquarters in hopes of finding a mate.

Walking through the old mall on the way to work this morning...

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.23 :: What's the extension, Kenneth?

TOO MUCH COFFEE!!!!

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.26 :: Diebold? Really? DIEBOLD?

A couple of Diebold vans were parked in our cute little lot on Thursday. What's up with that? Are they in charge of counting my company's Suggestion Box entries or something? God help us all.

Curious indeed...

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.16 :: Playing chicken

Remember that really early black-and-white motion picture clip of two old locomotives smashing into each other head-on? Yeah, that was cool.

Alley-blog! :: 2009.03.13 :: Does photoblogging count?

I'd just like to prosecute someone else for a change.

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.
