02-14-2006This guy went all out for Valentine's Day - he set up a table for two in the park, complete with decorations, non-alcoholic drinks, and lunch. She was a little embarrassed.I give him an "E" for enthusiasm and a "C" for creativity.◄ ♦ ►

I ♥ Chocolate
02-14-2006Valentine's Day is just a couple of days away. You can't miss all the store decorations, jewelry commercials on tv/radio, and of course, the chocolate possibilities.It's kind of ironic that so many of the chocolate gifts are shaped like hearts. I read the label on one of these boxes - an entire box contains about … Continue reading I ♥ Chocolate
Mondays at Rubicon
02-13-2006One of the best ways to start the week is by having dinner at Rubicon Brewpub. On Monday nights, pints are $2.50. They usually have a good crowd, mostly mid-town locals. The food is good, the service is great, the beer is excellent. I especially like their amber ale, similar to the photo above, only … Continue reading Mondays at Rubicon
Smooth Stream
02-11-2006Few sounds are more soothing than the sound of natural water movement. It is the perfect white noise, capable of drowning out the invasive sounds of traffic, barking dogs and electronics.I imagine living near a stream like this, where the sound of the water never stops.◄ ♦ ►
Weather or not, here I come
02-10-2006Last week it was cold, gray and rainy - this week it is sunny and warm. The trees are now officially confused. Everywhere, trees are in full blossom, expectant that the fruits of their labors will be born out in the warmer months. But every year it happens like this. We get a false spring, … Continue reading Weather or not, here I come
This Building Looks Grate
02-09-2006At first glance, this might be a photo of the front of a 12-story building. Even the "sky" area looks pretty sky-like.It's actually a close up photo of a ventilation grate. I didn't intend to make it look like a building, in fact, I shot this photo without looking thru the viewfinder at all. I … Continue reading This Building Looks Grate
City Tree/Country
02-08-2006It's seems amazing how a shady little grassy hill like this can be so close to a freeway. It's almost a waste of a good tree. A tree like this deserves quiet surroundings, not the constant barrage of cars, trucks and motorcycles.I wonder if this tree has any idea how badly its life sucks. How … Continue reading City Tree/Country
New Paint on a Familiar Sign
02-07-2006The Old Ironsides sign is getting a facelift. I wonder how many coats of paint are on this sign - I'm sure they've lost track by now. I'm surprised the sign hasn't fallen from the extra weight of the paint.This place has been around for over 70 years now. I used to drop in here … Continue reading New Paint on a Familiar Sign
Do Homeless People Get Parking Citations?

Chris’s Corner
02-05-2006Roadside memorials always bother me. Most of them look pretty makeshift...some have cardboard crosses, candles, flowers and stuffed animals...all designating the spot where the victim suffered their demise. This one looks a little more sophisticated. I'm not sure what made this "Chris's Corner", and considering the moment of grief, I can overlook a punctuation error.It's … Continue reading Chris’s Corner
