Ok. So I've discovered that if you let this daily posting project lapse much longer than 2 days the slide into total neglect is almost a certainty. I think I have arrested the slid just short of 20 days, this time, but I hope to keep it going for the rest of the year. I'm not really sure why, but... well I won't ramble.
What follows is a collection of photos from some of the pleasant events of the last couple of weeks. There was the president's day weekend at Adair and Marin's place up in Middlefield, (that's where the shots of Sanderson Brook Falls are from, I didn't take many pictures otherwise, not sure why, just forgot, I suppose,) and also photos of the bowling trip to PINZ which was the pre celebration outing before our Day of the Dude festival (March 5th) (this involved watching The Big Lebowski with several friends and drinking an ungodly amount of white russians.) There are a few random shots as well.
I did not choose to document the black ice incident that resulted in smashing out the radiator and costing 700.00. Though I do have to say, that one could have been much worse, had I hit the the two phone poles I narrowly evaded I would certianly have totaled the car and probably been injured.
After the crash, I was able to baby the car to a church parking lot about a mile from work and then trudged through slushy rain on the grayest, dankest, murkyest day of this sloppy nasty winter and still got to work on time. It was one of those incident's where everything is so picturesquely terrrible, and you have come so close to an actual catastrophe but eveded serious consequences, that the experience was almost enjoyable in a perverse way.
So anyhow, you may have noticed that I'm probably going to modify the haiku only format and allow a bit of free form prose here and there, but I still intend to compose about 3 or 4 Haiku a week. Anyhow, without further ado... some picturez in no particular order:
This picture is of a cool very old school book shop I stumbled on in Franklin. You don't see many places like this anymore, and this is something I miss. These people actually live in their shop, they have their kitchen clearly visible behind the cash register. There is plenty of room becuse they're in an old factory building. Great place, musty, old, kind of creepy.
John at Pinz...
...and demonstrating excellence of form.
Zoe doing same...
...and celebrating her success.
This is Deb in what I call her Emma Goldman coat. We are at Sanderson Brook falls which I have photographed in just about every season. I really love this place, probably because it reminds me of The Colombia River Gorge.
Michelle and Robbie with Deb at Sanderson Brook.
Speaks for itself, this shot.
Always like to stop through North Hampton for some old school college-town ambiance and self-satified organic food. Not sure what this local lunatic was refering to with his tee shirt, but I couldn't not take this picture.
Here are some shots of Sanderson Brook falls. It was sifficult to get a picture of how cool the falls looked all iced over. The ice had channeled the falls into a small aperature and the water could only emerge, somewhat violently, out of a couple of small openings in the ice.
And here is one more shot of Ye Olde Booke Shoppe (Not what it is actually called. I can't remember the name of the place.)
I have to go to this Book Store! It's in Franklin? What's the name?
