Nothing out of the ordinary about this business sign on West Gurley. If anything, said the woman at the door who figured out why I was out front with a camera, the sight above (see below) might give clients a better clue as to the businesses' location.

"I tell 'em to just look for the bike in the tree." Apparently it's been there for nearly two months now, though I just spotted it yesterday evening. As you can see, quite a ways up.

My friend and I certainly couldn't figure out how the machine was hoisted into position. But it certainly makes a neat landmark.


Two days ago another transportation/tree combo caught my eye. In this event, two tires each topped by a platform, up in a tree. Much too big to be for most birds; too close to the house to be for big birds. Possibly positioned for a tree-climbing kid -- although, by me, there are just too dang many pesky branches in the way for a pleasant climb. Ah, well, it takes all kinds. Especially in our little city.

I saw the bike too, A prank above all pranks! Couldn't they just throw his shoes up there instead?
Strange happenings:)
My guess is that those AC power lines in the background have a small leak...
They are probably running at 60 Hz (60 cycles per second), so just a small leak could let one cycle escape, landing it in the nearby tree. *smile* -- couldn't resist
style -- throwing shoes is so yesterday.
windy -- keeps my life interesting, it does.
warren -- ah, but what magic gave it substance?
I've been out of town for a few days, but glad I returned to see the bike in the tree. I'm waiting to see a new Smart car in a tree.
steve -- or in a church bell tower or on top of a college dormitory. At the very least, on the sidewalk or front porch.
