I was kicking myself for leaving the digital camera at the house this morning. Storms rolled through Houston and the sky was incredible. Went from grey to bright blue to black in minutes. Thunder and lightning cleaned out the haze, and one could see for miles.
In any case, I got home in time to hang out with my current favorite kiddo.
This Wesley Clark story sure has developed over the day. First there was a meeting with Dean, then there was talk of running with Dean, now this AP story has him almost surely entering the race on his own.
I’m still hoping for a Dean/Clark ticket, personally. Clark alone would surely shut Bush up on the Commander-in-Chief tip, but that will just shift the focus to the fact that he has no experience running a government.
Oh, and I’m disappointed that it sounds like he’ll no longer be announcing one way or the other on September 19.
The building behind these flags houses the Dell sub-company that handles Federal customers. They are the flags for the five main branches of the military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard.) When I arrived at work, the flags were at half-mast. When I went to lunch, they were at full-mast.
These flags went up in our cube area just after 9/11/2001. We have moved twice since then, but the flags were brought along and put back up each time.
I used to get really peeved at artists who never wanted to explain their creations. Over the last couple years I started photographing clouds in the sky and I like to place the photographs in grids with white borders. I have lots of ideas I can give you for why I enjoy doing this and why it seems to fill my creative craving, but none of them are particularly profound in a way that you couldn’t derive on your own and I hope that someone can critique them someday and tell me something new about these collages that I had not considered before. So, I don’t like to explain it. These were all taken today and it gives me a moment of peace to see them arranged like this.
Egypt is filing a lawsuit against all living Jews for plundering their country during the Exodus. Of course, this opens the door for all living Jews to sue Egypt for 400 years of slavery. For the love of God….
September 11^th^ as a photoblog day.
Just wanted to bump this up again. I’m going to drag the dig-it-al camera on the commute tomorrow/today and see if I can find anything worthwhile.
In any case, I just wanted to wish peace, love, happiness to everyone in the world who isn’t interested in killing Americans. And to extend fondest wishes to the 24 million in Iraq and the 10 million in Afghanistan who are finally getting to learn that freedom’s biggest reward is compromise. Crashing jets, burning buildings, and the threat of nuclear and other terror cannot crush the love of freedom.
