She's in heat, so she was doing her best to show off for all the boys while I was exercising her.

The trails are all still closed for repairs after the hurricane but I still managed to get a few pictures lol

Another subway station, another smudgy lens... It's starting to become a style

That's the artist and her son hugging in between the sculptures.

I wasn't there for it, unfortunately. That's an official library photo.

This was something my dad used to do when I was a kid. Next year when the kids will remember the person in the scarecrow, it will actually be stuffed, and I'll be hiding somewhere else!

View from a little further away, my husband was hiding behind the screen door controlling a spider that dropped from above 😈

Looks like golden poodle, but feels like too large to be…

This is a branch library in one of the poorer parts of an already depressed town, so they are wanting to use it as more of a free community activity center, and the community it’s in will need it.

The library is not gigantic. It was formerly a funeral home. But they did an amazing job fixing it up.

Some of the features this library has or will have soon:

• A test kitchen with restaurant-grade equipment.
• A workshop with a tool library for lending.
• A clean-up room featuring a washer, dryer and shower free for use.
• A playground and splash pad for kids.
• A huge patio deck for reading, relaxing or whatever else you might want to do.
• Just a pleasant place to hang out.

And, of course, the expected things like a children's area, meeting rooms, a teen area, a small computer lab and a small collection of books and DVDs.

Before you start complaining about how “libraries don’t have books anymore!” The book stacks are still a 10-minute drive/bus ride away at the downtown branch. The books aren’t going anywhere. Libraries are more than just books. They are one of the few places the community can get all sorts of resources and a place to access them for free

Remember when the Hummer H1 was the biggest, most obnoxious passenger vehicle on the road?

This one is parked between two new Blazers, which are as wide and have distinctly taller hoods.

Brought my daughter to a trunk-or-treat and got this so so fun sized pack of peanut M&M's. More of a trick than a treat really.

Just finished the new Neal Stephenson book, Polostan. Part of it takes place during the 1934 Chicago World's Fair. Love this iconography, which is prominent in the book.
