The evolving billboard.



First, someone demurely suggested that we ask the mayor about his unfortunate Leonard-esque stance on the Columbia River Crossing. By the next day, the billboard itself had been enhanced.



I'm glad I stopped and snapped the second shot when I did (even though I was late for a meeting), because 24 hours later Clear Channel had, predictably, come to the rescue of Law and Order and returned the site to its role as a ho hum backdrop again.

Graffiti seen yesterday in the alley between Vancouver and Williams. Usually I lean towards a happy mix of fatalism and misanthropy.
But seeing these words calling out resolutely from their new home scratched my dormant idealism for a few minutes. If only it were so easy for our decidedly uneasy and knavish species.
