Obnoxious Hissing Geese
What're YOU lookin' at?!
Don't make me kick your ass!
You want a piece of me?!
Yeah? Yeah! You wanna go? You wanna go right now?!

Fathers Day Weekend 2005
I went home for Fathers' Day weekend. I had several people to see.
My Hometown is known as "Rocketown" by the few who even know the city exists.
After passing the rockets I saw what I never see in Memphis ... mountains!
Old friends
The famous D Bryan - ladies man and the only man Evan thinks is truly funny.
That night was a big get-together with friends from college whom I hadn't seen an awhile.
A friend named Evan, who lived in town, didn't bother to show up. We knew where he lived so 'someone' paid him a friendly visit.
Mail's here!
Some mysterious person abused perfectly good toilet paper all over the front yard of Evan's house!
Who? Who would do such a thing?!
Surely not the famous D. Bryan, church pianist and respected engineer!
The next morning ...
Lovely trees
Evan had already cleaned most of it up by the time I came by to say, "Hello."
He wasn't home, so I had to head to the rest of the reunion without him.
The next afternoon was another get-together on the top of the mountain.
At about 4 p.m. I had to run back down the mountain from the reunion to meet up with my best friend and go back completely over the mountain to his sister's house for a birthday party.
Over the river and through the woods ... to ... you get the idea
Seeing you seeing me
Some of the best people I ever knew.
Girls and waterballoons gone wild!
Dave is thinking, "One day I'm gonna build something. Something substantial that will stand the test of time. Something ... like this swingset!"
2 future All-Stars.
After the party I headed home for my father's Father's Day celebration.
The next afternoon I had to head back to Memphis, but I really didn't want to.
I talked to several people about coming to work in my old hometown.
Maybe one day I will.

Smiley Faced Boxers
I'm just heading out the door in a few minutes so this is the closest thing to the front yard that it's gonna get.

You promised
A storm came through, but mostly missed us. All it left behind were dark clouds followed by a rainbow.
If you look close you can see 2 rainbows. The camera doesn't show it well, but it's there.
Out in the Country
We drove around far out in the country looking for land last weekend. This is some of what we saw.
Someone had painted "Fort Skunk" on the shed. I don't know what that's about.
Just a nice field.
No one is home.
We stumbled across an old graveyard.
Charles Turner fought in the Revolutionary War.
Collin Turner fought in the War of 1812.

Ducks Dodging the Rain
It was raining. Hard. So hard that the ducks took their babies and got out of the water. How did this help?

Foggy Friday Memphis Morning
Yesterday morning we had mist and an earthquake, a 4.0 earthquake or so I'm told. But I slept through it all, dreaming odd dreams and eventually waking up to realize I was battling illness and thus needed to stay at home. Today though, I drove to work in the fog. Here is what I saw:
The workers were hard at work kicking up dust, which got lost in the fog.
A woman had black spots painted all over her red VW Bug to make it into a LadyBug.
A shack in a field in the fog. Soon it will be torn down and a neighborhood built here.
Curious cows lounging beneath the trees want to know why I'm looking at them.
On the drive home there was no fog and someone broke out their '32 Ford hotrod. Cool!

Loonies OFF the Path
Do you see the couple holding the umbrella while standing down in the water-filled ditch? Well, behind them in the woods is their full-sized pickup truck. Somehow they ended up sliding out-of-control and down into the swamp. Talk about having a bad day.
Omen of Death
This big-assed bird glided slowly across the road about 3 feet off the ground. He nearly got hit by the truck in front of me. No one was behind me, so when he landed on this dead tree I stopped and took a picture. You can only make out his silhouette, perched at the highest point with his head turned to look at me.
