Money! It's a Gas!

Now here is the deal. My friend Mean Don is in the Army and either JUST before we destabilize a county's economy by flooding the markets with its own currency so it's weak and we can invade it OR have looted it's Central Bank POST INVASION, he always sends me a few bills as tokens of his appreciation for me being a US Tax Payer. It's thoughtful of him.

If you happen to see YOUR National Currency here in this pile, I'm sure it's just a mistake. Pay it no heed. Just go about your business.

Pencil Lead

Doesn't everyone have one of these pencil fight wounds? This was given to me in the back of my hand by Michael King in the 2nd grade of Abraham Lincoln School in 1972. I think medical forensics would call it a 'defensive wound' but I'd call it the closest I'm ever getting to a tattoo.

Blatantly Stolen Raspberries

Well, not the berries but the idea, from my dear close personal friend and Gentle Viewer Gary J. Wood of Digital Meditations who posted THIS.

I commented on how my grandmother (not on the scooter below) used to have wild raspberries growing out of an old rusty cast iron potbelly stove in her yard and we kids would eat them (we were probably told not to) and now, years later, I so strongly associate old rusty cast iron and raspberries that I can hardly eat either one.

Carnie Portraits

Ok, here is the deal, Gentle Viewers. The carnies are back. But as you KNOW, this blog can be overwhelmed by the number of images I post here for the fair. The first year I didn't blog and only showed them the photos I printed for them. After that, the blog became a way for the carnies to share images of what they do with friends and family back from whence they came. So holding back images seems a bit silly, so this year, they have their own blog as can be accessed on the sidebar under Carnies Series 2006. Previous seasons can be found in the July 2005 and August 2004 and 2005 archives.
