Alley Oops #44: “Grand Prix”

This mural seems obviously related to the annual Grand Prix race in downtown St. Petersburg, which just concluded yesterday. The City closes off streets, erects barriers, and an international cast … Continue reading Alley Oops #44: “Grand Prix”

Hello & Welcome!

I’m John Hayes – aka oopsjohn, the ‘holy goof’ – an enigmatic septuagenarian with Pantagruelian appetites and a near-fatal tendency to ask too many questions.

Expect to find on this site an ever-evolving and widely diverse collection of β€œpics & quips” as well as conjectures and reflections designed to inform and engage.

I have no ax to grind or soapbox opinions to bludgeon you with (sic!), although I often play β€˜devil’s advocate’ in order to encourage critical thinking.

Thanks for visiting…
