Okay I have been under the weather and am still trying to recover so I have been a bit on- delay due to being medicated. I just about gave myself whiplash doing a double and triple take. I was sitting at the table behind the register at the store and saw this guy out of the corner of my eye. I grabbed my phone to get a shot but he caught me... he laughed and then posed. I do not know why this guy was walking around in this strange get-up; I am going to guess it has something to do with the World Cup or a serious mental health issue.

The Anonymous Atrist Is...

A few of our friends stopped by the store this past weekend (Judy Delgado) and admired the new artwork in the gallery. Three pieces in particular have received quite a bit of attention all painted by an anonymous local artist. Well, I have been given the go-ahead and let the cat of out the bag. The new artwork are only three of many is that of the one and only... Tamara Tolkin. Yes, she has been quite shy about it and after I annoyed her enough to let me tell people who had painted the new art. With no further delay... here are pictures of the three aforementioned masterpieces. Stop by the store soon before they are gone.
