testing phone blogging

Yesterday Joel and I saw this truck for sale on Doniphan. He really wanted to buy it and drive it to school. The price was $28000 so it did not happen!

Random Pics - Toledo Faces

Back in December I went to Toledo Ohio for a week for a software installation go-live.  I chose to work the 2nd shift so I could get out during the daylight hours and explore (and take pictures of course).  I found these interesting architectural faces in an old Polish neighborhood.  The faces are located on the outside of "Tom's Carry Out" on Lagrange street.  I wish I could find some more information on the history of the store.  A sign out front says "Tom's  - Established 1932".  They are some very interesting faces!

Random Old Pictures - Reflections

This is a picture I took on the very first and only work trip I ever got to take to Milwaukee in 1990. I loved seeing the old architecture. But I was particularly fascinated with the contrast between the old and new buildings.  Here are a couple more shots of the same buildings:

Random Pic - Sunset at Western Playland

I took this picture at our local amusement park (Western Playland) awhile back.  I thought it came out pretty nice.

Random Pictures - Chicago Flowers

When in Chicago in April, my mother and I took a mini bus tour all around the city.  We had a quick potty stop at the Lincoln Park Conservatory so I ran in and took a few pictures of some of the beautiful flowers.  It was still very cold outside and nothing had really started budding yet so these were really nice to find!

Random Pictures - Junk Horse Sculptures

I saw these "Horses" several years ago in Durant, OK.  They were set up all around a bank and they were really cool!

Random Picture - St. Patrick's Cathedral, El Paso

I was actually parking my van, getting ready to take pictures of this church when I glanced up through my windshield and saw this view.  I liked what I saw so I took a picture of it :)  This was taken December 2010.
