Get Up, Give Praise
I found this against the curb in front of my neighbor’s house. We hope it wasn’t written to him…
Seafood Specials
Found on a ledge at a Family Dollar store on St. Claude and Louisa.
I Am Not an Assassin
I saw the woman who put it there as I was approaching the house. I thought she was a salesperson, so I asked what she wanted. She said only “I just want to give you this flyer.” Then she rushed pass me and down the block. I assume she was going door to door with … Continued

The Dotes Are the Ships
These were plastered all over the streetlights in my neighborhood. They have been up for weeks, not sure what date I was supposed to be looking up. And where do you even find foolscap anymore?
