Jonah In the Doo-Dah Parade, 1.18.09 image Every January, in the pacific streets of Pasadena, California- a wonderfully wild, colorful parade ensues - a parade for everyone and everything that would be too weird or conceptual or funny for a conventional parade - and it's color and electricity and whimsy merged with the sense of Carnaval or Mardi Gras - and we have been spectators in this, the Doo-Dah Parade, for the past few years. Last year we said - Jonah and I - that somehow we had to get into this parade. Well, turns out the Doo-Dah has open arms, and we were warmly welcomed into the fold - and we came as clowns - father, mother & son - and Jonah was the best beamish clown of all- and though we were ready to walk along with the procession- we joined Mac's amazing clown junkyard oldtimey ragtimey truck cavalcade - and we rode through the parade route with it - though occasionally we leapt out to walk and entertain and hurl beads and tortillas and candy at the crowd - and here's Jonah with the great truck Aston Martin Faris Al Massari image This work is licenced under a Creative Commons Licence.

The Golden Ratio ( 1 : 1.618 ) - Double Sided Mug $25.99 Martin Heigan Mug The perfect Ratio of 1:1.618 that occurs everywhere in Nature.
