A harbor walk
Category: tourism

(e:tinypliny) walked to the harbor the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend, had some ice cream at the Hatch Restaurant (peach yogurt for her, soft-serve twist with rainbow sprinkles for me) and enjoyed the sunset...

We intended to catch the train but i was too lazy to run for it and no others came, but I got these two shots as compensation.

And we walked to the harbor.

This is probably my favorite.

That's (e:tinypliny) on the dock (i don't know the right word - is it a slip?), but it's hard to see her silhouette.

Postcard, anyone?

and one really bad picture of the ducks that came begging to us.

Great Pictures, I may go check out the waterfront on Saturday or I may not we shall see.

On a side note are you sure (e:tinypliny) wasn't dumping a body in the water? Ha. Or maybe she was getting a weapon she hid under the dock? Ha. Glad you two had fun, sometimes you can see things better when the picture is printed out.

Great shots, even the one of "Where's Tiny?"

New Mex/Puerto Rican restaurant
Category: eating out

There's a new Mexican/Puerto Rican take-out & delivery place on the West Side (no dining in, just delivery & take-out). I'd love to hear folks' opinions!

Carmen's Kitchen
1043 West Ave.
882-7777

Carmen's Kitchen

The menu is in Publisher on the website, so I posted a PDF version along with coupons here:

Looking at the menu, it seems far too limited for my crazy vegetarian ways...

james - 06/03/09 11:07
I will have to check it out. Niagara Cafe's food hurts my guts there is so much oil in it. I am hoping Carmen does it better.

The Not-Basra Collection
Category: basra

I have about 800 pictures to process from my adventures Thursday through Sunday. These are the most immediately relevant. ;-)

My hometown had its annual festival last weekend and my aunt asked me to take pictures of her & her company's parade float. She couldn't throw candy from the float and take pictures of it at the same time, she said. After the parade, everyone goes to Island Park for the festival, which this year included a beautiful old tortoise.

tortoises are beautiful!

but not so cuddly, unfortunately :)

haha, that took some time! wow

tinypliny - 05/14/09 17:29
They actually look adorable. :)

libertad - 05/13/09 13:52
is (e:mmtornow) still at Roswell?

heidi - 05/12/09 16:07
i think i'm embarrassed to be part of such a lame meme. if it wasn't for the duct tape tie with Molly i would never have posted about it. the anteater one (e:jim) found was so much better.

james - 05/12/09 16:04
You are the third person to talk about that blog today.

joshua - 05/12/09 15:41
That's sharp.

lady in white gave me a gift!
Category: walking

I was walking along Allen today listening to property law review audio files (really exciting stuff) and passed the lady in white. I looked back and it seemed like she was talking to me, and she waved me closer. She said that her friend (who I was... um... having a little trouble seeing) wanted to give me something. I held out my hand and she said, no, not me, him, so I shifted my hand toward where she was indicating and she said, I'm not sure how this works, but he has something for you. I waited a few more seconds and told her I think I got something, thank you very much. She seemed very pleased.

That's interesting. I don't know if I believe in ghosts or any kind of afterlife. Sentience might be a recyclable "hard-drive" like commodity for all we know. The immune system is hereditary and has memory cells, so why can't the neural systems be capable of a similar heredity and memory (albeit of a different kind).

libertad - 05/11/09 23:45
That is amazing that she spoke to you. I sort of agree with peter here.

paul - 05/11/09 22:22
I walked right next to her today and I didn't get anything ;( You must be really special. Seriously, she is a legend. It would be so awesome if you started dressing in white now. I wonder what she would think.

hodown - 05/11/09 21:06
omg paul and i have been obsessed with her for years.

metalpeter - 05/11/09 19:49
Wow that is very strange. That being said most people think she is crazy. Most people think that people who talk to people we cant see are crazy. But if you really think about it some many people believe in life after death in some form. So why couldn't there really be a ghost or some kind of being that we aren't able to see. Yes there really are a bunch of crazy people, but they all can't be.
