The Process is Interrupted by Martians

Life's Highway has a daily routine, in which I review submissions carefully filed in chronological order and then stare at them blankly and wait to be inspired. Alright, it is not exactly in the order received because some of the field reporters live in fertile grounds and submit in a frenzy of excitement (and you know who you are). So I sprinkle later submissions to break up a group entries from a single player.

But the important thing is that I am not easily swayed from my process. Unless of course Martians land and then ,well hell, all rules are off.

Connie of  Monkey Mind comments and submits:

"This yard art made me screech on my brakes and immediately turn around. Stunning. That’s all I can say."

This yard made me screech to a halt too. Click on the photo and revel in the madness

• 2 Black Balls (bombs?): 2 points
• Stairway made of tire rims and 3 cow skulls (apparently a Martian defense mechanism): 3 points 
• UFO comprised of hundreds of CD's probably consisting of the very weeny music on my ipod: 1 point

Creativity Bonus

For a Martian spacecraft with all its intricate details, a stairway of skulls while the house has no siding What So Ever plus the delicate addition of the summer vacation sea shell: 4 points

Total: 17 points

Manatee is relieved Martians do not decorate with aquatic mammals

Mars Attacks (I laugh every time they speak, it's lame, but I can not help it)
