the squirrel and the airplane

In the same day, I took two pictures worth blogging about. So I’ll combine them into one post. Exhibit A: Squirrel eating McDonald’s foodI think it’s Fillet O Fish, in which case I understand if someone left the whole bag. Incidentally a McDonald’s themed picture goes well with the great news of the win for [...]

snowing in april

(view from soc dept: click picture for commentary) Just overheardfirst professor: What about this weather?second prof: It’s King Lear out there! Only at a university would a comment like this go by without question or even much follow up conversation. It’s just something you say or hear people say. Granted, it is a torrent out [...]

Picture 95: Baby Blocks

With death, comes life. Or so they say at Easter, for the changing of the seasons, or between a funeral and a birth, three points that describe my current position. This week’s picture was taken yesterday, #95 out of 365 pictures this year. These blocks and giraffe are toys from our baby shower at Mom’s [...]

Ode to My Grandpa

Rex’s Tin Snips Got a call this morning that my grandfather died. Several years ago he was clearing out his garage, making tool kits for all his grandchildren. Quite a collection, too. Tin snips, awls, and I have no idea what most of these actually are or do. Makes me think of him though. Maybe [...]

Picture of the Week: USPS Jedimaster

Don’t think this is my solution to the R2D2 mailbox photo hunt. I’m just not in a position to be hopping around Michigan Ave or Navy Pier quite yet. This cutout courtesy of the link suggestion in the comments of that post. Also my 88th photo this year, out of 365 days. One photo everyday: [...]

The 250 Post Blog Evaluation

(just a tree on my street that I like: bluebells too!) Happy 250 Posts! I’ve decided to celebrate two types of Bloggiversaries on this blog. First, I will celebrate my annual blog-birthday, coming up in May. The other will be an honorable mention every 250 posts, of which is a pretty significant amount of posting, [...]

Photo habit #1: Stairs

New Series! I’ve been noticing trends in my everyday picture taking. First edition: Stairs. Click on a photo for further comment. Keep up with all my photos tagged stairs.

I don’t know what’s funnier: A bear waiting for a bus or a guy who doesn’t seem to notice.

Despite the label name for this picture, the photo credit is Sarah’s. This is the second picture Sarah took while I was driving: the other was for a different kind of Bear(s).

more on bathrooms

Take a look at this bathroom cleaning chart in the Dominick’s restroom. I call it the “14 points of clean.” As you can see, the flow chart involves eight cleaning methods in 14 different areas of the bathroom. Nevermind that the restroom in question was quite small and featured the following: floor tile, sink, cabinet, [...]

Pic of the Week: Airport Restroom Sign

This is a cropped version of photo #75 out of 365 pictures this year. While trapped in the airport on Friday, and not flying anywhere, I noticed this restroom sign. Take a look: Person in Wheelchair, Woman with Child, Free Man. Of note, there was a baby changing area in the men’s room, and there [...]
