Playing Cards

Since I moved to East Hollywood, I frequently find playing cards on the street and sidewalk. For a while last year I was finding "pairs of cards" like 4-4, 8-8, Ace-Ace, 9-9. I found these four cards pictured below in the Fallas Store parking lot and street near Vermont and Sunset. It is possible that I am slightly more aware of this phenomenon, because i look for things on the ground to use in art projects. Now I have started to find Chinese Fortune Cookie fortunes on the ground instead of playing cards, but it was nice to find these yesterday. I have found so many of the discarded playing cards that I have started including a playing card with all my friendly USPS correspondence. Truth, but strange.
