several months ago, maybe in november or december, the clown head that sat perched up high above the office/shop of BOC, fell prey to the high winter winds and fell off the roof and onto the ground. we thought, originally, that the head had been stolen after that as there were pieces of the head around the front door where it would have landed but no sign of the head anywhere. al had gotten the head from some sort of school play or something, i dunno, anyways, he had made a nice mount for it with a large spring so that high winds wouldn't do to it what eventually actually happened. it was a great clown head. when people would ask how to get to the shop we'd say, "just turn off of boundary at william street, come up a block and a bit and look for the clown head on the roof. that's us" but no more. until today.
a woman came to the shop after lunch and explained that she worked up the block and today she discovered a large clown head under the stairs to her building and she knew we had had such a clown before. it had been obscured by the bushes up until today when she looked out and saw it. so i twalked with her up the block and grabbed the little fella and brought him home. al's very happy. we may rebuild him but we're not sure yet. i say rebuild.
so there he is, the clown head, back where he belongs. welcome home little camper.
