Quarantine Dreams mural in La Jolla. When quarantined due to the novel coronavirus, you can’t travel, dine, date, surf, play sports, or even play catch outside with the dog. Hang in there!
The coronavirus pandemic is no laughing matter. But I cracked a smile when I discovered a gently humorous mural and amusing “war posters” pertaining to COVID-19 in La Jolla.
I spied the mural, titled Quarantine Dreams, at the entrance to an alley off Pearl Street. The artwork speaks for itself!
The posters, some of which were done in the distinctive World War II style, are on display in the windows of Copy Cove on Pearl Street. The posters offer helpful advice for fighting the invisible enemy, COVID-19. (I believe you can purchase the posters at this shop.)
Enjoy!
Don’t hoard rolls! Eat less chili. Flatten the curve! Support our healthcare heroes. Don’t be a burden. Don’t do stupid sh*t.Buy takeout. Touch your face, lose the race. The enemy win when you touch your face.A dirty phone is a danger zone! Damnit! Wash your hands. Victory at home starts with a good scrub!Good fellows use elbows. Keep the nation fighting fit! Stay back, Jack! Use air fist bumps.

Funny comic panels featuring Star Trek characters, standing near Captain Kirk’s Coffee in South Park.
It was hot today as I walked through South Park, so I stopped at Captain Kirk’s Coffee to get an ice cold green tea. And look what I saw and learned!
All sorts of humorous Star Trek imagery can be found on and around this popular sidewalk coffee shack!
The super nice people who served up my green tea explained they’ve been there for many years now. Then they told me something amazing that I didn’t know. Whoopi Goldberg, before she became a superstar, worked at The Big Kitchen just a block south of Captain Kirk’s Coffee! They said she signed her name on a wall of The Big Kitchen, and while the interior has been repainted many times over the years, her signature remains untouched.
Among her many big Hollywood roles, you might recall that Whoopi Goldberg played Guinan in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, and in the films Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: Nemesis.

For many months now Ron Burgundy has been seen around town on the San Diego Trolley. Yesterday morning I happened to spot him!
A trolley wrap that promotes the popular Ron Burgundy podcast features a couple of funny quotes, as you can see!
Everyone knows Ron Burgundy from the classic comedy Anchorman, starring Will Ferrell. And everyone associates Anchorman with San Diego. So why should anyone be surprised to find him on a trolley?
San Diego. I’m here for the good times and because I’m under house arrest.The first podcast in America.

Check out these photos of fun street art on Adams Avenue in Normal Heights. A small electrical box just east of the Normal Heights landmark sign is painted with three funny cats.
They are drinking coffee, reading books, or sitting in a teacup!
Coffee. Cats. Books. Sometimes the answers to life’s troubles are quite simple.Cat in a comfy armchair reads Of Mice and Men. Books on the nearby shelves include Cat’s Cradle, The Cat in the Hat, Puss in Boots, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof…This kitten in a teacup must like oolong tea!

After performing a very detailed mathematical analysis, noting that the total area of a circle is π r², and after taking precise measurements and observing the object in question with a critical eye, I’ve finally determined the most efficient way to consume pumpkin pie.
There’s a great sale on expired (antiqued) sardine cans.
For your enjoyment and edification, I now present some photographic humor…

Imagine. (John Lennon mural in North Park by Rik Erickson and Sam Ballard.)This is the story of a man who sold his shadow to a little man in grey. (North Park art installation The Man Who Sold His Shadow by Derek Weiler.)He tries to get his shadow back.His beloved stops noticing him.He puts on his seven-league boots and travels the world.Footsteps on the sidewalk.Are we all still going to meet at the corner?Cats hidden in flowers.Deliberately covered eyes.Secrets.Skeleton takes to drinking.Light as a feather.A journey into space.Walking forward through life.
Did you enjoy this odd little story?
I took these photos during a walk through North Park on Saturday!

I have a few odd photos to share. Problem is, I’m not really sure what to do with them. So I’ve posted them here, together!
The first three photos were snapped in Balboa Park over the weekend; the final two were taken during my commute home today.
Behold: two valiant superheroes and ducks waiting for a bus!
