Room With A View


My view from the window of my cube. Not bad actually, because my PC’s location takes those blue trailers out of my direct line of sight. Oh, and I’m an idiot, I already did the panorama thing.

Replacing A Charlie Brown Christmas as my new favorite holiday special is Hammond, May & Clarkson as 3 Wise Men delivering gold, frankincense and myrrh to a newborn in Bethlehem, the Top Gear 2010 Christmas Special featuring the world’s first Miata dually.

Started up, still up.

Another Snowy ASCO

Back at work today for the first time in 5 days and boy did I not miss it. It was cold enough overnight such that any snow left when it quit yesterday was still on the ground this morning. Which is when I walked out towards the street and snapped this picture of The Valve Store™. Good thing too because by lunch time the snow was nearly all gone.

Tomorrow’s photo will be of what the snow looked like outside the window of my cube. Which reminds me, you still haven’t received that promised panoramic view of my new digs. I guess I better get cracking on that.

Started up, still up.

George L. Smith II State Park


A photo of the lake at George L. Smith II State Park near Twin City, Georgia taken Wednesday the 22nd on our way south.

Aiken’s second snow of 2010, and hopefully the last, turned out to be a major bust compared to the February snowfall of almost a 1/2 foot. It snowed most of the morning and on and off during the afternoon, but we ended up with near zero accumulation (not that I’m complaining mind you.)

Started up, still up.

Way Down Upon The Suwannee River

Two more GA State Parks and nine more caches today. One of the caches was placed right near the Suwannee River and its water level is way down giving the exposed roots of the trees a very otherworldly look.

My Santa Claus, GA cache did get published and someone has already found it. I wonder if someone will log it on Christmas Day?

Started up, went down, went up, still up.

Red Puffy Clouds
This sunrise is from last Friday morning in the ASCO parking lot.

Calories
The approximate number of which I have consumed in the last five days at work. Half of them on Tuesday at the annual salaried Holiday Pot Luck Luncheon. The other half from grazing while wondering the plant. Ahhhhh, tis the season.

Miles
The number of miles the Emperor passed by on the way to Krogers this evening.

Bike Christmas Tree

On my way back from the doctor’s office this morning I stopped and snapped a photo of this Christmas Tree made entirely out of old bicycles in front of a “Flea Market” store. I think I need to go back and shoot from a slightly different angle so you can read the whole sign reading Christmas Store. And maybe a little later in the day, so that there is a hint of darkness which might make the string of lights more noticeable.

After having the weather the last couple of weeks such that making ice cubes outside was possible at midday, this morning when we left for work it positively balmy at 38° and this evening we took a small drive with the top down…

Started up, went down, still down.
