Safety First...and things


 What you are looking at here is a guy driving along down Almeda-Genoa.  We are at a light and I decided to sneak a shot in.  It isn't easy to tell, but those are Bose headphones he is wearing.  Bose headphones are great, I have a pair, wear them on planes all the time.  They really do a great job blocking out the rest of the sound.  But I digress.

Anyway, this guy was driving along, Bose on, ROCKING OUT in his car.  Drumming with both hands on the steering wheel while driving is usually a bad idea.  Driving in Houston with noise canceling headphones on, probably at a loud level, seems like an even worse idea.  I can't hear the flight attendant talking to me with mine on, how is this guy going to hear things like trains, sirens, etc?

 Now, none of this was the point of my post.  The point of this post was to notice the headphones, and then the car.  You can't see the car well, but it is a POS, which greatly explains the listening to the headphones whilst driving.  I must beg the question, are the $300 headphones in fact worth more than the car?  I think so.  I  have heard of people putting stereos in that are worth more than the car they are driving, but headphones?

In other news, I read that Mr. Warren B. decided to be like many other old men and get into train collecting and sets.  Of course, most guys don't spend 11 figures on their collections.  Warren, you are the definition of Go Big or Go Home.  I hope for that kind of scratch the let you blow the whistle.

Welcome to the new blog!

I make no guarantees about how often I will update this.  Hopefully a few times a week.  I hope you enjoy!

A little background...


I have always been one to take photos that have no purpose.  My wonderful fiancee gets quite annoyed by this, but I enjoy it.  A recent iPhone purchase has sped up this process, with me posting these photos to facebook.  It occurred to me that I should really just start a blog for these.

I have a backlog of photos I will occasionally put up, and mark them appropriately as historical content.


Enough of that, onto the first photo.




Yes, these are in fact my feet, with a spiffy pair of socks I must say.  This was taken in my office.  Most of you are probably now wondering why I took such a picture.  The answer clearly lies in TexAgs, a message board where I occasionally post.  Someone asked for pictures of feet, and what better way to show off a fancy pair of Sketchers then with these beauties.

I can't promise that all of my posts will be so pedestrial, so for you foot lovers out there I apologize.
