Views of the Neighborhood
I had to make a run downtown yesterday, and as I was driving down the main street, I was struck by the number of sidewalk “sandwich board” signs there were. It also hit me that some them would make a pretty good post. So here is a sample of the signs that one can see […]

Thursday – A little personal – A Photo on the Beach
Here is a photo taken from the beach of an upscale neighborhood named Cinnamon Shore. The day was a little overcast, and this picture was snapped at about 8:00 am while walking the dogs. Why would I take a photo of a neighborhood you ask? I just had to provide some context for the next […]

Another big oil drilling rig has come to Port Aransas on Thursday for refitting.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “ART”
It is Stream of Consciousness time again. This week’s prompt is “Art.” Linda Hill says we can use the word as it is or as a name. She also say’s we don’t have to draw. That is a big load off my mind since drawing is something I don’t do. If you would like to […]
