If you're searching ...


So, I'm driving down da road and a bunch of us stops at the light. On the tailgate of the pickup in front of me, I may have found what many need. One sticker says "Searching". I presume that's a question because d'other sticker sez "I help". So, there ya go. If ya need help searching, all ya gotta do is go find this guy and he'll help!

Looking out my window ...


Looking out my window at one of the three lines to Putz's Creamy Whip at the Montana Exit of I-74 near Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. A warm summer evening brought out the cravings for this whippy-dippy shop that has the old-fashioned machines that make creamy whips ... CREAMY!

Looking back ...

It wasn't that many months back and the snow was falling. I liked the looks of it but I'm glad summer's now here. Back in March:

Quick - look up in the sky!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? ... uh ... no, it's just clouds. nuttin else. really. Taken with something else - not a blackberry foto. I should make up a poem or something to go with this; but, I don't feel like it.

Gimme a 3!


All right, here's the facts. The only image manipulation here was: re-size this image to 800 pixels, give it a 1 pixel black border, and adjust the tonal relationships a very little bit. I didn't Photoshop the clouds. Look, if I really went that route, I would do something like Jesus in the Clouds so I could make money on it. Another good option would be fame - maybe even be invited to the Dave Letterman Show!!! Really. So, it's puzzling to me, how I can look up and find a number 3 in the clouds. I missed a number 2 recently. Like this image, there weren't any skywriter planes and hadn't been any. The 2 became smeared over and lost to history because I fiddled around with getting my blackberry out of whatever pocket it was zipped up inside in my vest of many zippers. It's puzzling to those with me and near me as to why I even bother look up and see such things. My wife thinks I'm crazy. Maybe so ... but just look at it! Its a heavenly 3: just how do clouds form such an artificial shape? It's just amazing to me. That I saw it, I blame my photo instructor (going to have to look up his name sometime soon) from back in the early 70's. Anyway, here tis:

Have a nice day ...



I always have a nice day at Bob Evans's Restaurants! Sometimes, I even play in my food. ... a second childhood thing ...
