Are you tired of paying full price for robots?

A very old whitewashed stone building a roof with thin moss turning slightly green. A blue sign upon it appears to be advertising a tavern or inn which says, "The Mousehole"

older pic o' mine - along Hollywood Blvd. Orange sunset fades into the distance. Streetlights and some thin palm trees become silhouettes reach up from a shadowy cityscape. Headlights from cars approach, and taillights move off west.
the glamorous URS showroom! (Rows of used washing machines and refrigerators stretch into the distance, rusting in the open on some junky flat field)
The Secret Order of the Double Sunrise certificate that was given by Qantas to all passengers on the Double Sunrise service. It says, This is to certify ____ (add name here) has spent more than 24 hours continually in the air in a regular air service. thus entitling him (should be 'them,' 2026 methinks, but I'm just transcribin' here:) to membership of the rare and... Secret Order of the Double Sunrise
Chrome plane on a beach, men about it underneath. It looks super fast, and the propeller is spinning too fast for the snap to catch it.
Side view of a Porsche 928 (guessing late 80's model - either way not common) Gold body, standard silver hubcaps.
Biplane row. This shot sucks, but these things are all gorgeous...guessing 20's-30's.
pen 'n post-it sketch of floating robot, with hearts floating around its antenna .
backside of a Toyota Cressida thru some metal fence bars
It's white - made of one wire bent in the shape of a square, getting progressively smaller on the inside. (tho only 2 - square within a square) It ends with a small triangle in the middle like a little maze.
Business card that says "RENTA TORO MECANICO" with a fun graphic on the left side of a cowboy on a bull, and a lo-fi picture of a mechanical bull on the right. (Shot without contact info because I might need this more than you)
black 2-door convertible with a black cloth top. Looks like it has a nice back bench for back-seat passengers. Parked at an angle where the front and hood are showing off the lines. (I'd guess late 50's but mebby 60's?) An if it's not a Rolls-Royce, well, happy to be corrected!
white egg on a flying carpet.
A floating robot head with three hearts coming out of its antenna. It looks a little smitten.
rows of old appliances outside - kinda' rusting away. Like washers and ovens and looks like some refrigerators off to the right.
Local act. Dude standing with a strat, dude with a bongo between his legs, dude who played sax (I hate the sax, but he was goooood!) and dude at the end, he was up to some technical shit in the background...he put on a strat, but it was like, a strat that wasn't a bass that was a bass. Anywize, the bongo guy fuckin' ripped.
Night - DC-3 on runway with shadows of crew/passengers below. The rock of Gibraltar is behind, and beams of searchlights cross along the way up. Above, searchlights pointing at the sky make illuminations along the edges of clouds. There is a slight curve of light in the sky just off left of center that looks like a sliver of a moon. (I think it's a light reflection or lense-flare kinda thingy tho)
All in unopened packages...Hedgehog silicone scrub brush, a pair of black gloves titled "Nitrile" and 4 cable (velcro) fasteners with cat faces.
post-it that says "sunday's in the fridge!"
A floating robot that looks pretty shy - but has hearts around its antenna.

looking at my post - the tab in firefox says "Post by @ did:plc:akgiqarohwx6...and seems to keep going on...
tiny cube rail vehicle with "Santa Fe" railroad markings. It's adorable.

An electron micrograph image of a hole in a solar panel of a satellite, made by a micrometeoroid.
a black and white picture of the Italian destroyer Corsaro. It appears the hull is painted white (or grey) with black streaks from both above and below, starting with thick bands that end in in sharp angles - which seem to dissect the hull.
interior of mcdonalds, a sign with the "golden arches" before saying ICE $1.00. So it looks like Mice $1.00.
Back a ways when Goddgle no longer had the super cute bunny on it's image page, I tried to draw it on a post-it.
a couple of thick fabric luggage tags I gots at Sea-tac for a few bucks at the Planewear store. Left is a silhouette of a shapely stewardess with a rolling bag...the other...same, but has no baggage but her hips. Anywize - please obey the cabin crew, as yer dreams are now boarding!
stray picture of what looks like a sightly bent exclamation point, floating above the sidewalk - somewhere near, but a few very long blocks from the Sunset Strip.
Pink handled knife with hello kitty on it.
The shadows of a streetlight, and a traffic light, cross each other on the sidewalk - somewhere in Los Angeles.

Azio keybaord - copper ringed keys w/ light-up letters
Look - it's a tree in the middle of the city...an just blooming like a freakin' prom dress
two sky-blue panes looking like they have broken apart and are now falling to the concrete sidewalk. Spray-painted shadows imply they are close to impacting.
Ceramic mug with the mug like a flowing ghost costume, stuck on in black, are the eyes and mouth of a very friendly looking ghost.
Big electrical job down the street - replacing poles. This has been going on for a week or two, but today was at least five trucks. Pretty awesome work...the top crane is holding up the lines taken off the pole they were working on.

Think it's a Scion, but honest...not sure. A small 4-door, original paint beat to shit (think it was likely silver - but just bare metal colored now) an rust on the roof. Killer city car.
