One of my coworkers told me about a local photographer who lived on her street. It was an older neighborhood of well-built homes. Lots of trees providing wonderful shade.
It had not risen in caché insofar as local real estate values and this photographer liked it that way because it meant his property taxes were reasonable. Every time a house went up for sale on the street, he went in his shed and pulled out several of those plastic flamingos and installed them in his front yard. Supposedly that kept the snooty types from moving in, rennovating the house beyond neighborhood norms, telling their friends about the neighborhood, and causing a bump in the home values. I think putting an old Vega on blocks out front would've done a good job as well. But that's a lot of trouble to do every time a For Sale sign goes up and I know the city ordinances wouldn't have allowed it. No ordinance against plastic birds, though. Phillip Seymour Hoffman in "Twister"...did you remember he's in it? ![]()

![]() An aerial photo of a beach in Normandy shortly after the D-Day landings in 1944. Photo from the LIFE Magazine Archives - Photographer Frank Scherschel ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A couple demonstrating the use of a Morrison shelter. Used in the UK during WWII, half a million had been distributed by the end of 1941. In an examination of 44 severely damaged homes 120 out of 136 occupants escaped without serious injury. I can't imagine going to bed in a cage like that just to hope to live through the night. The British citizens were a tough bunch, and just kept fighting the Nazis. We can all be thankful they did.
