Head shop


Head shop

So jury duty ended today, finally. It took a lot longer than I'd expected because we had a great deal of trouble coming to an agreement, and in fact it ended in a deadlock. To add to the frustration, we were not allowed to talk about the case while it was ongoing, so I couldn't really explain to my co-workers why I wasn't coming back to work, and of course the more difficult the deliberations got, the more I wanted to talk. But I couldn't!

After dinner at Matisse (Tenleytown) last night, we were walking out on Wisconsin Avenue when I thought I spotted a reflection of another era, I looked closer and I was amazed to see that I was looking at a real life 70s artifact, a head shop! Sure, it was disguised as a tobacco outlet, but really, who is going to smoke tobacco out of a pipe with a skull on it. At one time, it would've looked right at home in the slightly seedy environs of Tenleytown; these days, it looks like a charming relic from a bygone era.

I've put together a set of photos of things on Flickr. They are here as a slide shot: THINGS
