A Sunday Walk

I went for a walk Sunday morning in the hills above my house and
stumbled upon the coolest little lookout perch. What a beautiful day!
Hard to believe it’s November.

Look what attacked me today.

The best birthweek ever.

I did a lot of cool stuff this week. My wonderful sister and her fam had me over for birthday dinner and gifts on sunday. Those guys are the best. Got a cardigan (first of many?) and a foam pad for my couch/bed (also first of many?). I also got to hang out in the OC with my buddies Ryan and Miranda this week. We literally did it all: Disneyland, the Getty, Santa Monica Pier, Harry Potter 6. Then to top it off today I got a package in the mail from my genius brother Joe. Didn’t know I had a genius for a brother, did you? Its true. He found Return to Oz topps stickers. I was in heaven, and documented the unveiling of cards that hadn’t seen sunlight since 1985. Much like my other brother David. It was a wonderful birthweek. In an unrelated note, I got attacked by a giant praying mantis.

Typography to the rescue

Mark Grgurich, 54, of Des Moines was killed cycling in rural Iowa when a speeding truck slammed into him, then sped away from the scene. Police recovered this partial logo and are asking for help identifying it. Updated.

The incident occurred Sunday, and since then Police have been tracking down any lead they can find. This one might be the key to finding the driver of the vehicle, believed to be a white ladder truck. It’s a partial logo broken off the truck when it hit Grgurich, and Police are hoping someone can identify it. So what do you think? It’s nothing we recognize, but it could be a regional or local business logo or something custom. Sleuth away.

Update: Diggers have joined in on the hunt and have offered up some good ideas, but so far there’s nothing conclusive. Commenter keviano overlaid the oddly named “Kurt Russel” font atop the fragment and it makes a pretty good fit, as seen below. Keep at it though, we’d love to see this one solved.

Update 2: Des Moines police have released this image of a truck captured on surveillance tape which has been identified as a suspect vehicle. Obviously it doesn’t have a ladder rack on it and it’s a pickup with driving lights, a grille gaurd and what might be either a utility bed or a dually setup on it, but it’s tough to tell. This truck’s either a GMC or Chevrolet in the 1981 to 1987.

Oh, Ikea.

I guess some people don't like Ikea as much as I do.
