Something Strange for Pi Day

Last month, I shared with you the pizza face mural on the side of a restaurant soon to open at El Cajon Blvd and Louisiana in San Diego’s University Heights neighborhood. Day before yesterday, when returning from checking gas prices at two Texas Street stations, I caught cheesy boy’s reflection in the Postal Convenience Center across the way.

The 34-year-old business suddenly closed on July 6, 2021 after losing its lease. That whole corner block, including several houses on Louisiana, are slated for demolition and redevelopment, presumably as another ugly apartment or condominium complex. Oh joy.

I can’t say why that face eater reflection made me laugh, but the reaction warranted a photograph. The Featured Image and companion come from the same original, captured using Leica Q2. The second provides context for the first. Vitals, aperture manually set: f/5.6, ISO 100, 1/100 sec, 28mm; 2:09 p.m. PST.

My inspiration to share today comes from Pizza Hut email received this afternoon challenging me to buy a pie for Pi Day—as in three point one four for date 3-14.
