Its blankness reflects what is on one side and allows a view of the objects on the other side.
In both these pictures, the stained glass piece is hanging in a window behind me.
The baby bed is in the room in front of me.

Babies absorb the world around them without bias, preconceived notions, habitual thought patterns, or prejudice. The world is new, fresh, and exciting. They experience life with open eyes, open ears, an open heart, and an open mind.
We would all do well to take a step back and try to see things through fresh eyes.
Maybe the rut we live in isn't the only way.
Maybe we can have a better life than the one we've settled into.

I spend a lot of time at work (well not as much as I used to) and
I've been looking at this wall (basically unchanged) for 15 years.
Before it looked like this, it was the inner office mail drop.
This semester, I'm teaching pc repair. Last week, we've spent time taking computers apart, labeling the pieces, and then putting them back together again.
Some people had the same problems as all the king's horses and all the king's men :-(

We don't have renovations often, but we do this year.
One of the shops is being expanded and retrofitted for its new roll as a small conference center.

I know you're tired of seeing pictures from there, but
I can't go any where without taking photos.

On the way home one day, I stopped for a beer at the Hometown BBQ.
I like their food, but it can get expensive quickly.

Pipe Dreams
the fantasies induced by smoking an opium pipe?
the light at the end of the tunnel?
or the end of life?
Walk into the light.
or just a bunch of long pipes next to the railroad tracks
one September morning?

Grape Stomping
I had quite an interesting day at
In addition to making delicious wine, it is a beautiful place.
Among other things,
there were some nicely restored antique automobiles on display.
This was their annual
Everyone who stomped grapes could get their purple footprints on this suitable for framing (lol) souvenir.
I stomped grapes, but didn't want anything else to carry so I skipped this part.
Step right in and start stomping!

And I thought mud between my toes felt good.
After you'd had enough, you could wash off your feet.

I toured the wine making facilities.
There were crushers and containers for fermenting.
I found the bottling equipment especially interesting.

In 2009, the winery produced 15,000 cases, selling in 400 stores across Alabama and Mississippi, and expanded its acreage by 85 acres. (wikipedia)

Morgan Creek Vineyards' Grape Stomp.
I cooled off with a tall cold one and relaxed a bit before returning home.
I had a good time today and took a lot of pictures.
I will put them on the computer later tonight or in the morning,
edit them, and maybe post a few online.

There wasn't a lot going on this week that you haven't already seen.
Talk about bored. rofl
These are the vacuums at the coin operated car wash.
Seems I spend a lot of time in parking lots.
