Parking Problem

I am always on the lookout for something that I can contribute to Found Magazine. That is why I was so happy when I found this little gem in the parking lot at Target:


It was laying on the ground between two cars, none of which were mine. I am still tying to figure out if the writer of the note was trying to call the poor parker an asshole twice or if they just forgot to add the comma after the first asshole. Either way I think it's funny. I'll let you all know if it gets published.

I Am Puzzled

After a month and a half of tedious work, I have finally completed my 1000 piece jig saw puzzle of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. I will say that it turned out to be more difficult than I had anticipated.

There were really two main challanges with this particular puzzle. First, about 40% of all the pieces were solid black, making that section of the puzzle a large game of trial and error. Second, sometimes two pieces would "appear" as if they fit together, when in fact one of the pieces would just be very similar to its correct counterpart.

It was a lot of fun putting this together, but I think I will wait a while before I start a new one. I have some masterpieces of my one to work on.
