Sources inform me that there has been a candle vending operation running for some time in a distant corner of the business park, unseen from this vantage. This new information will be factored into our ongoing investigation.

Pro Pacific has its door open and an oscillating fan stands in it, blowing mostly towards the outside.

VW Rabbit is still parked where it was yesterday.

A man in shorts and sandals talks on a cell phone while he takes his beagle for a stroll. He's dressed for the beach, but it's a chilly, grey day.

UPS arrives at PPA, leaves again.

Some movement inside Pro Pacific. Door is propped open.

The funny little United States Postal Service truck with the speeding eagle head pulls up in front of PPA, and just as quickly drives away.

Red Explorer-driver just came back from a trip to McDonald's, with a big brown bag and a red cola cup.

Hmm, the VW Rabbit usually parked south of the fire hydrant is north of it today. It's parallel to the window here and in a position that offers a bit of a view into it through its tinted windows. It's full of crap.

A sweating giant and a guy in a pink shirt go into pro-tection.

There's the skinny bald man who drives the oversized truck. Smoking a cigarette in the shade, 20oz. Starbucks coffee in the other hand. Now he heads back indoors.

I ran across this device this weekend, and am almost certain that it is the claw-on-a-stick used by the business park's landcape artist, Captain Claw. Although I'm pretty sure that he previously had a more claw-like utensil.

It's going to be a hot one. The asphalt is almost visibly hot. The blue of the sky is withering with heat.

White Ford Focus pulled up into the lot, girl driver got out, left the boy passenger in the car. Some sort of absurd antenna ball on the antenna. Guy has left his seatbelt on, looks like he's playing with the stereo.

Claw man watered and picked up trash with his claw earlier.

The grass is getting kind of ugly, lots of dead patches. I think this guy is watering at the wrong time of day. Maybe he needs to use some kind of fertilizing treatment in addition to the mowing at watering.

The parked cars stare stupidly out over the sidewalk at the open road.
