dedmanshootn > going in circles, slowly
07/10/08

that's more or less how my day has been. started off running a bit late and almost missing my bus, progressed through arguing with fedex as to why their driver has tried to deliver a package 3 days in a row before we're open, and posted the failed delivery slip right on our hours of business sign! am i the only one that finds that a bit much?! doing errands after work had a bus break down, rarely happens but can't be helped sometimes, so missed my connection and ended up having to walk over a mile to get to an alternate route. the upside; mt. baker was beautiful with an awesome thunderhead building on its lee side, the breeze not only didn't die (as feared) it picked up so i didn't roast, there were lots of beautiful birds flying about and chirping (tho i had no time to even try a single shot alas), the exercise is certainly good for me, and i shot this sign which summed up my feelings nicely. this is actually a warning sign for a 'roundabout' (why they can't call them 'traffic circles' like everywhere else i've no idea but here in western washington they've been deemed 'roundabouts' so that is what they shall be i guess) and was a welcome sight as it meant i was less than a block from my bus stop and almost on my way home. my day wasn't actually bad just 'roundabout' and slow. hope yours was/is much better. for those interested i caught a couple more buses while out and about as a bonus

dedmanshootn > mallard ice cream
07/05/08

this fine ice cream shop is just a few blocks from my apartment, right downtown. they make their own from fresh ingredients. DOD is the ice cream fiend in the family and when he'd get the urge while visiting this is where we'd go. i really like this painting by their emergency exit
dedmanshootn > fairhaven pharmacy photo window

retired pharmacist gordon tweit loves to take photos of friends and customers and fairhaven events. he shoots film and develops them himself then posts them in the windows of the pharmacy. every halloween the kids line up in their costumes for their photo. after the photos have been in the window for a while gordon gives them to the person who is in the shot for free. i'm told that one halloween he shot over 700 kids
