Maybe this is the problem with the world?

Quote from former head honco for BP
"We had too many people who were working to save the world," Browne said at the time. "We sort of lost track of the fact that our primary purpose in life was to create value for our shareholders."

Maybe its time we save the world and drop the make more money mindset?

Just my opinion....

No explination needed

Well, if your a guy I dont need to explain.... And I bet there are a few gals out there that get it too!

Lessons from the Rabbit family?

This couple's been taking lessons from the rabbit family!
14 or 15 goslings?

Oh so true...

First, apologies for the blur, I was rolling at a stop light, shooting through the windshield at the bumper in front of me with a short lens.

Oh this is so true, if only the thumpers understood it.

Just wasnt quick enough.

Only in Leicester.... If your local you'll understand.

I just wasnt quick enough, but maybe I should have turned the car around and attempted to get a shot of this.

Driving down Leicester Hwy Thursday I am passed by a Goldwing style motorcycle towing a flat bed trailer with (2) pigs in cages on the trailer.

Only in Leicester.

Ground Hog Day

No its not the official ground hog day just a shot I got of one of the ground hogs that have taken residence at the house.
Poor thing was scared and didnt know what to do as I sat in my car and took a couple of shots of him. He got caught scurrying across the road as Joseph and I drove home Friday evening. He stayed there long enough to get a couple of shots then booked it across the yard to his hole.
We also have a hawk that patrols the neighborhood, guess thats his concern.

Hair in a can?

SO if any of you happen to catch the infomercial for the hair in a can, how about jotting the number down for me.
Taken by my buddy Kristi Hedberg, photographer extraordinaire, the other night at the track racing.

It may be a weed but its so cool

Okay, maybe their weeds but they are quite beautiful and intriguing. I really love this time of year, the flowers and blooms after this years winter. I could have a yard full of these and be happy. If I could I'd let the grass grow and never mow.

No pictures today but a blog

Just want to share something I really have been enjoying lately. And its free!

It really does a great job with picking music that suits me. This was shared to me by my partner in pixels Kristi and I'm glad she did. I listen about every day and simply add artists I like and rate songs I like. Initially I put in Tom Petty, U2, Bruce Springsteen and from there I added Dave Matthews to my station.

Listening to it right now.

Check it out!

The bike stud!

Well, its not good news for Art Shuster. Looks like many weeks off the bike for our leader. Puts things into perspective for local cyclist that know Art. Small bit of background, but Art is a ex-pro Mtn biker from way back. Art is also one of the best bike handlers I know, and I KNOW lots of cyclist. When someone like Art goes down its not from lack of skill, as in lots of wrecks I hear about, its just a freak accident.

Art broke all the ribs on 1 side, clavical, punctured a lung and lots of rash. No, not on the road but in the woods.

The Wed suspects ride made to trip to visit.

Been a while

Yea, slacker I know, been a while since I updated the blog.

No humor on this post....

Ran across this deer yesterday after it had struck a car. Not far from Liberty around the Parkway, which there seems to be a fair amount of deer to car incidents.

Pretty animal.

Rare shot of myself, but the bus was worth it!

Spent the day assisting a great friend, Kristi Hedberg, in a commercial photo shoot. We shot all over town and finished up the Asheville V-Dub. V-Dub restores VW vans and the such, and you've talked to me much about cars I have this fascination with being able to sleep in the car, ie camp. So V-Dub had this HUGE ass bus, old, just downright odd, which suits me so well. Kristi squeezed off a few as I was "checking" things out.
For some odd reason Annette didnt seem as excited as I when I described the "bus"

This will make you take back things you never said.

Tupelo Honey.... A eating establishment here in Asheville. They just opened the 2nd location close to us on the South end of town. But we hit the downtown location, the original, with Skip. Skip's like a brother, we've known each other for just about our whole life.

Well, this is the shot of 2 of the many things that are great at Tupelo Honey. 1) the biscuit and 2) the blackberry jam. Both made from scratch, as is everything.

Now this makes me relaxed!

Sure, a $4.00 bottle of water would make me relaxed. I was afraid to move it for fear of being charged!

Wonder if people regret things?

Do you ever wonder if one day people look back at was funny or cool at one point and then say "Boy that was stupid". I have.....

Parking lot of a Cracker Barrel.

This is one hot truck!

Passed on the way home from Hotlanta yesterday. Pretty sure no one was injured, the truck was off the road

The transformation is almost complete

My son that is.... On his own, without Mom and Dad pushing him got his hair cut and styled and is actually talking about keeping it up. Some people would tell us, why do you let him grow his hair that long, you should...... I wont go into my opinion of that but Annette and I knew he was fine.

Well he got it cut and it looks good. Shot of him I took after.

Could be his best side

May very well be his best side.

Oldie but Goodie

Joseph reminded me of this one today.

So if you cant speak English, how can you read this sign?

A dog toy?

According to my wife its a dog toy.
