and if any of you fine folks would happen to have an extra $300 sittting around in order for me to get a new digital camera or would like to buy me a new one, feel free to contact me at: bedpanartist@bedpanart.com, and I'll tell you where to send it.
The blog will be down until I can get this camera fixed, or buy a new one, whichever is cheaper.
Take care until then, and dream beautiful visions of d8n.
Probably like many people in many areas of the USA, I get sick and tired of being sick and tired about the Disney-esque way that my local world is presented by our local corporate media wizards, or the hordes of bad PR agents working to sell the fantasy viewpoint that EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE AND DANDY in our Grand City of Dayton, Ohio.

Didn't I see this guy in a news stand in NYC or at a horse track?

Rock and roll hoochie coos.

In Dayton, the beer man is still everyman's hero.

Dancing does a body good.

This dude on the right could barely walk,
let alone discuss the pros and cons of proper
dental care for the three teeth he had left,
or what could possibly be the worse mohawk
in the history of recorded haircuts.

never-ending battle of brawn over brains.

Finally, unrelated to everything else on this
entry of the Real Photos from the Streets of Dayton
Photoblog is Donut Palace, on the corner of Gettysburg
and Salem Ave. There's nothing to calm the soul
quite like Lottery and Donuts to start another day of false hope.
