Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 8:34:14 PM- This is it | ||||||
Lest I look like the main feature of this, my LAST travel picture. And.....I figured something out. The airlines really don't want me to use my frequent flyer miles. I know this might be common knowledge to you all.....a suprise to me. I can get from home to Brussels and back with miles. They just make it SO uncomfortable. Essentially I would have to spend a whole DAY in the detroit airport. Ugh. But if I don't go to Croatia I won't have photo's for you all. And you know I'm only going on this vacation for you! | ||||||

The air outside is dense, the rumble of thunder hides over the horizon. No earthly reason to get out of bed. The sheets, line dried yesterday, hug my lazy morning curve. The air is cool, just cool enough so you feel comfortable againt your own skin. How long can I lay here? Do I care about the tasks of the day? The first drops of rain splat against my window. I'm going back to sleep. | ||||||

Happy to report not all is decrepit and abandoned. When I took this picture I tried to imagine how proud this fellow had to be when the building was done and the whole town turned out for his grand opening. And I'm proud today that someone saw value in saving this piece of history. Happy Fathers day to all who deserve it. | ||||||

I couldn't pass this by! I bet a lot of beer has been spilled on that floor. It's funny because under that ugly renovation is a beautiful building. This was the only comercial building left in this town. Goes to show where the locals money went huh? | ||||||

Thursday, June 14, 2007, 4:45:07 PM- What I did as a kid | ||||||
This is the outdoor pool that I spent every waking hour at when I was a kid. This was the site of my sexual awakening. Pre pubescent, I would look at the older boys changing and wonder why I couldn't look away. And the shower room antics of the older boys were always bordering on sexual, the dares would fly. The humid summer air always felt green, and the smell of the floor cleaner they used sticks with me today. I remember feeling awkward when a friends dad would be changing with us all. I never saw my dad without his shirt so here's a frinds dad's penis flopping around! It made me realize how different families could be. Kids today....can they play here? No...sadly. Budget cuts. | ||||||

I like to drive the tiny way bcack roads when i can. In the middle of nowhere, WAY nowhere, was this country store. I stopped and took this picture and though "no way is this place still open" I walked up and tested the door and soon I was inside. I saw a very limited array of stock but no clerk. Soon I heard the tap tap of a cane and a very cheery, very old lady appeared from the back. You know me....I had to hear the whole story. She'd been running the store for over 60 years! When I asked her why she didn't retire she said "what else would I do?" I guess she's in this retail thing for the long haul. She made my day. And sold me a candy bar. | ||||||

I had to stop and take a picture of LUNNA's new home town. I hope she will be very happy there although by the population count it doesn't look like "big pickin" More later | ||||||

Saturday, June 2, 2007, 1:57:32 PM- On my road trip | ||||||
Yesterday i had lunch with a friend I hadn't seen or talked to in 8 years. I'm here to tell you a LOT can happen in that time. Do you know anyone who "has it all" yet still can't pull it together? I spent half my lunch trying to remind him that the things that happen to him are a result of his CHOICES not some cosmic crap that hits only him. Well...gotta hit the road. | ||||||

did ya ever have some skill that you wanted to learn so badly but haven't ever got around to (and know you probably won't) I would like to know how to weld. I have always found it facinating. And I think I'd like to know how to play the harmonica. I hate it when someone else plays it, but for some reason I want to play it. Silly, huh? | ||||||
