Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
This person, I don't know if it's a man or woman (all reports is that it's a man dressed as a woman - but some say it's a woman, and some say it's a man), parks on the side of my house maybe 14 days of a month. About 2 weeks. I think it was something like 7 days in a row recently. I understand that some people are down on their luck, have no money, no where to live, and are down and out. Where do...
This person, I don’t know if it’s a man or woman (all reports is that it’s a man dressed as a woman – but some say it’s a woman, and some say it’s a man), parks on the side of my house maybe 14 days of a month. About 2 weeks. I think it was something like 7 days in a row recently. I understand that some people are down on their luck, have no money, no where to live, and are down and out. Where do they go? There’s a big tree, and it’s dark, so this one person who drives a black ex-police car shows up and parks all night. When I’m outside, she’ll drive right by slowly. I used to park in that spot just to take it away… She / He has been doing this for years. I’ve given her a pass, until tonite. I walked out to that spot where she actually was parked at 6pm, and later left to another spot 2 blocks away, and noticed the worst stench ever. Those wet marks are stains from piss. It’s straight up urine. That’s one thing I notice about homeless folks. Even though a trash can is just a few feet away, they’ll leave their garbage out. I’ve given homeless folks food, and lo and behold, they’ll just litter. So this person crossed the line with the piss. Sugar packet litter, I’ll let go – even though this person has an entire car/home to litter in, but the piss is another story. Today I called the police to report this freak. It sucks, you give people a shot, and they literally piss on it. Street cleaning comes on thursday. Not soon enough. Mental illness could be a part of it. Where will this “it” go? It’s the eternal question. A park, the beach, who knows, it’s actually sad, but worse off are the folks with no home whatsoever… I’m sure there’s a long story behind how “it” became this way, and how “it’s” in this situation, but if you think I’m doing the wrong thing by calling the police, then, please give me your home address where I can tell “it” to park. I paid my “it” taxes for two years.

Today came the GR52 first load - Fed Ex. GR stores should have them for sale, and the rest of you will get them when they get delivered etc. Albert Reyes and his sister came over and he was so excited, he sat and read it on the spot. If anyone should have a cover of GR, it's Albert. When he walked out the door a random younger Asian woman was walking by, he held the magazine up like he was John...
Today came the GR52 first load – Fed Ex. GR stores should have them for sale, and the rest of you will get them when they get delivered etc. Albert Reyes and his sister came over and he was so excited, he sat and read it on the spot. If anyone should have a cover of GR, it’s Albert. When he walked out the door a random younger Asian woman was walking by, he held the magazine up like he was John Cusack in Say Anything and said, the new Giant Robot is out. She smiled and kept walking.

Up on top of the roof of gr/eats, there's an owl. I know people who like owls, collect them, and so on. But would they want this one? It's probably super vintage. I wondered what the glass cup is all about? Sake? Was it some kind of Shinto offering?
See that metal thing? This morning we had to fix it which meant, take the whole thing off and work with it. My dad got some new bearings for it, and...
