AN UP SIDE TO HURRICANE IRENE

I made this image last night as Hurricane Irene passed to the east of us.  Fortunately she missed by about a hundred plus miles, but left this spectacular sunset over Lake Murray, South Carolina.  Double click for full screen.

CALLING ARTISTS

Can you work all or part of this image into one of your creations.  Will it help you be more creative?  This but one of many of my images on the upcoming Volume Two of THE THIRD i. 

"Sky, Clouds, and Sunsets"

 Or perhaps you would prefer----

Or another teaser-----------stay tuned and if you are working on a project and need a resource, just email me.

We went to our local "Avenues", a meeting of neighbors working to make the neighborhood better.  We thanked all those who were instrumental in having our street repaved.  It's actually an insidious way of creating more jobs and income for our town.  You see, we now can drive at speeds up to 60+ mph in our little residential area without destroying the undercarriage of the vehicle.  Sure it cost money to do it and sure it employed the people to clean, prepare, and pave the street making it a major through street.  My suggestion was to have police strategically placed (like in our driveway) with speed traps.  Man, there is nothing better than a newly paved road to test the legs of your new Prius or electric car.  Or how about that new pre-owned Dodge Ram pick me up truck.  Another suggestion i had was to put electrical outlets at each end of the street so that when the Chevy Volt runs our of juice we can charge to re-charge.  Everybody makes money.  I am just full of ideas to get this economy going again.  Tickets and charging stations.  Hide the kids honey......they done black topped the road!

Apparently, McGee is doing just fine.  Sleeping, eating and being a general all around PITA!

Cool and clear this morning with a full moon still up in the western sky.  Good day to be alive!

In my next life, I think I want to be a vet.  As in veterinarian!

This is our latest adventure in acquiring a second or third mortgage to just pay the puppy bills.  God help us if the bird gets sick.  I guess we'll just have to get a cat and then we'll have the entire food chain covered.

A severe case of pancreas something or other laid this little guy (McGee) low for two and a half days and the "No tell vet motel"!

I know they saved his life and have big time costs, but Phewwwww!  I have no idea where folks think money comes from any more. But in all my years I have discovered the absolute truth about that.  It doesn't grow on trees.  Plus a $200 water bill.....Jeeeeeeeeez!

At any rate, we're glad to have the little rodent home!  Rodent is a pet name of mine referring to the breed known as Chi Wa Wa, and he ate the entire enchilada!
