Little Stonehenge
Originally uploaded by Ghostly Penguin Display. Every Solstice I visit Little Stonehenge, located in Dana Park near the fire station, hoping to see Druids and Pagans frolicking. They never show up. No one knows when this was built or what it's used for. It's one of the great mysteries of ancient Mountain View.
I discovered another fun thing to do in my Prius: mileage screen art. For those of you who haven't driven a Prius, there's a little screen with a grid - the horizontal axis is time, the vertical is miles per gallon. Every 5 minutes a little green bar pops up and tells you what your mileage was for the previous 5 minutes. The typical patterns (that I have not photographed) are:
Climbing The Stairs: Mileage starts low and increases every 5 minutes.
The Down Escalator: Mileage starts high and decreases every 5 minutes.
The City Skyline: Mileage changes every 5 minutes in no discernable order.
There's also the Chichen Itza, The Waves Of The Surf and The Mesa.
I call this one "The Fox In The Grass", and this one is called "Flipping Off The SUV In Front Of Me". By far my favorite Prius screen, and the hardest one to make is "The Solid Wall Of Green"; total 100s across the board. Can anyone figure out how I did it?
And I just have to say how much I love "Journeyman". A time travel show set in San Francisco starring Vorenus? Sounds like something I would have made up.
