This is my first project with PONOKO. It’s a laser cut, bamboo or cardboard, flat-pack, raygun kit. I’m really happy with how this first prototype has come out and went together.
Driving south on 101 at approximately 9:00am, the freeway reflectors in the rear-view mirror shine bright blood red. These are designed so if at night a person gets confused and goes driving against the right of way these reflectors act as warnings. I love seeing these because it gives me hope that, in life, if I’m about to really f**k up there might be some indication before everything goes really really bad. And not seeing any signs, at the moment, that maybe things are okay and maybe I’m heading in a safe direction, but maybe I just don’t know what to be looking for.

My favorite finds during a first-of-many-but-all-too-brief-visit to Powell’s Sweet Shoppe (San Luis Obispo):
Wax Lips
Watermelon Blow Pop
Wax Bottle (Nik-L-Nips)
Horehound Candy Sticks
Yoda Shot Class
Inflatable Turkey from Accoutrements
Some great (continuing) childhood memories.
