Heavy with Dew

A slow, soaking, sixteen hour rain filled the flowers. These dogwoods are heavy with accumulated rain. The entry to work looks more like a set for a Lord of the Rings movie.

Come On, Pelican!
2008.04.22 17:54
Every Tuesday and Thursday morning Tarrytown cleans up its act by sweeping the parking lot that is my neighbor. Fortunately Monday and Wednesday night are not heavy drinking nights for me. I am sure this is not the pelican Tony Montana was cheering on, but I still hear the words.
Every Tuesday morning,
while the Pelican waits for the cars to clear out of the parking lot,
I walk to my truck and repeat the refrain:
"Come on, pelican!"
Once the operator actually heard me and just smiled knowingly. He probably says the refrain every morning.
Travel 10g
2008.02.08 17:24
My
expense report from December was rejected. Our
company adopted some changes to the travel expense
form and I missed the mark with my last
submission.
The report was sent back to me with a small Post-It ™ Note attached:
“Purpose of Trip” is a new field on the form which is required. I missed that step. Shame on me.
What the heck is travel 10g? Is this a new product from Oracle? Possibly Oracle 10g for Mobile devices? I am sure Kim intended to write “log” after “travel” but the short “l” and tall “O” led my eyes to read 10g.
Is it my consumption of too much Oracle Kool Aid or do you see one, zero, and either a “g” or “q” before the “+” sign?

Yule Tide receeding, Back to Work
2008.01.02 21:57
The holiday is over and it was back to work for me. I was glad to have the generous time off over the holidays. We put up a tree for the first time in years. It really "felt" like a holiday should feel with the snow, cold, lights and trees. I really missed trees. I have to regain control of the camera from my wife, then I can post the holiday nuggets!
BTW got my iLife '08 upgrade and I really like it. My iPhoto is much faster. Still wish they would do multiple Library support or nested albums. I need my albums for integration to the web publisher, but I don't need to see them every time.

Snow

December Snow has fallen. Just a few inches now, but it is still coming down. I made the first pass with the shovel, but I expect I will need another before 4:00.
Time for a snowball fight!

The only thing finer than spotting a supercar on the
highway...
is putting it in your mirrors!
Unless of course it is snapping the pictures for Charlie, that is fine, too!
Charlie, have Pip send me a message. I got tons of pictures. He can creatively caption them and get some posting on that bLog!

Mist Mountain
2007.11.05 09:57
This is not a scene from Independence Day, this is New England living! The highway follows a river and this morning the sun had started "burning off" the morning dew. The river is always the last to give up the dew, so there it is, a hill apparently floating on the mist.
I know Charlie likes his sunsets, but even he has some river shots. I just can't stray too far from a river. Something in me need to know the water is there.
