K-Squared Ramblings

Icy?

I found this photo while looking for the UCI Student Center pic. This was taken on the way back from a camping trip with UCI’s Campuswide Honors Program in the Angeles National Forest in April 2000. IIRC it was along Angeles Crest Highway.

A permanent sign isn’t necessarily the best way to indicate a transitory condition.

Worst. Computer Store Name. Ever!

Another gem from Joshua Tree (actually Yucca Valley), courtesy of Jason, who first spotted it:

Mentawhat?

OK, I’m all for spiritual retreats and the like, but what the heck is “mentalphysics?!?”

(Thanks to Jason for the photo!)

You’re two tents

Here we observe a specimen of that rarest of species: the Walking Tent.

And here are two natives, apparently acolytes of the Tent, worshiping at its altar.

Living in Harmony

On Highway 62, in Twentynine Palms, we saw this first coming from the other direction. On the other side it says, “Where if not now?”

At first we thought they had just messed up the wording, but when we came back along the same road and saw “When if not here?” it all made sense.

Something Missing

This is just around the corner from the “roller coaster.”

But think about it. If she’s a real patient, shouldn’t they show, well, her breasts? Not like that, you pervert, in a bikini or something! Gyms tend to show before-and-after (or just after) shots of people with muscled or trim torsos. The whole reason you put an “actual customer” in the ad is to show the results, right?

(Oh, this journal is going to end up getting filtered for sure!)

High Rise Roller Coaster?

This is out off of the 60, not far from Hadley’s Orchards and two new casinos. It seems to be a hotel, but the curves in the scaffolding really do look like a roller coaster!
