Yes, Grasshopper...

Here's the stuff that I couldn't post Thursday night due to Internet trouble. Remember, Thursday night is grocery night!

Internet trouble

Hi all... I'm out of town and having trouble with Internet access. I got on long enough to post this message. I hope to be back on tomorrow with more photos. Thanks for dropping by.

The Con-dome

Somebody was asking about a shot of the capitol exterior... well... here's what it looks like right now. The gold leaf is being redone on the dome exterior and it's wrapped in scaffolding and plastic.... so it looks like the dome is wearing a... uhhh... prophylactic device. Not much to look at these days. It should be quite spectacular when finished. The gold leaf was put back on several years ago after many years of crappy paint... but the job was botched and the glue holding the gold on leached out causing dark streaks to appear. So now it's being redone and we hope it will be stay beautiful for many years to come. It really is quite spectacular to see the dome with new gold on it shining in the sun. I'm looking forward to seeing that again.

Too cute by half

Yeah, yeah... I'm embarrassed for myself... here's another cutsie picture of the same squirrell. He's got his nut in his mouth.

More photos from the West Virginia State Capitol. We might be 49th in most everything (thanks Mississippi!) but we do have the most beautiful capitol building outside of DC. Rennaissance Revival... designed by Cass Gilbert.

Photo Safari

My nephew and I are heading out to take pictures this afternoon. Of what? We don't know yet. We'll both post something from the outing later today on our respective blogs. (He doesn't know it yet). Here is the link to Adam's photos.

Wellalrightythen... here are my shots from the outing. We went downtown, to the Town Center Mall and to the WV State Capitol.

Burning Jet Fuel

The last few days I've been following a film crew around a hospital. They are shooting tv commercials... I'm shooting stills to support the ad campaign. That's my buddy Wayne Sells hanging out of the helicopter putting an awful lot of faith in his harness. (Update: Yes, I've done that in the past. If you keep looking through the viewfinder it's not scary at all.)

Mysterious

Here's some of my morning coffee friends at Taylor Books trying to guess Mystery #20. Unlike Robert Ding of the UK, they were stumped.

Bread, coffee and stuff with sugar and fat in it! The Panera Bread at Southridge is open. If you don't live in the area, this means nothing to you. I just got excited.
