Random Photos–2012-05-28

It is once again time to clear out the micro SD card in ye olde cell phone and see if I can remember why I took these photos.

This was taken outside at my work place.  I sometimes go outside during my lunch to get some sun and fresh air.  They have these trees growing out of the brick pathways near some benches where I sometimes sit.  This one evidently need to be cut down and to keep people from falling into the hole near the tree they placed these orange cones.  I don’t know why but this struck me as odd.  This was not the only one.  I have no idea what they will do now.

We have never had a normal dog.  Ask anyone in our family.  Our standard poodle, McKinney (pictured here) is no exception.  This is her normal way of laying down.  Her elbow (?) sticks out in this funny way.  She looks like she is just hanging out and relaxing.  She also has a sitting position that is as vertical as any dog I have ever seen.  You need only give her a little push and she would fall over backwards.

I got a call on Saturday from my daughter to come see a wild, wild west play.  She told me that it was only a nickel so I dug into the change jar and rode my bike 1 block to her friend’s house where I was treated to a wonderful (well, for the money) play.  Kudos to them for staying in character even though it was very warm (especially with the costumes on over their normal clothes).  I did not quite get the plot but I think here the mother is telling the kids what has happened to their father (spoiler alert, it was the wild, wild west so it was not good news).

This portable little business showed up recently within biking distance of our house.  It features shaved ice (snow cones) with 64 possible flavors.  That is except today (Memorial Day) when the poor kid working the window had to apologize for being out of a lot of the flavorings.  The whole place looks like an old pirate ship and if not for the very loud generator that provides power you would almost believe it.  The daughter was disappointed that 1) the worker was not dressed like a pirate and 2) he did not even try to speak like a pirate.  She settled for blue raspberry and I settled for (my 3rd choice) peach daiquiri.  At only $2 each this might be a regular destination on our bikes throughout the summer.

Well the phone is now empty and ready for more random pictures.
