What I saw recently

Caught a big 'un - a carp, that is.

 Scooping the chicken dung at McGinness's field on Friday afternoon . . . 

and placing it in the hopper.

 Back to the pile for another scoop

 At the Earth Day celebration at Sahd's, a young bag lady shows how many plastic bags the average American uses in a year.

Here, she's talking to the bottle guy who's showing - well, you guessed it.

 A male cardinal, one of the abundant variety of birds around town.

 A tunnel at Shawnee Creek, near Mill Street

 The Laurel Hill Cemetery regulations have been reposted after going missing for a while.

 Hey, where's Jr?

 This dachsund caused a minor traffic jam on South Fourth Street on Saturday afternoon.

 Oblivious to the commotion he caused, he soon sauntered off.

Old-timey gas pump 

Here's another one, from when gas was 41 cents a gallon.

 The Lake Meade Fire & Rescue crew practiced aquatic maneuvers Sunday morning.

 Here's their truck.

Two in a row.

Why oh why do they ride their wheelchairs in the street where they can get hit, 

instead of on the sidewalk where they'll be safe?

(The sidewalk curbs are handicapped accessible.)

The building that will house Little Caesar's continues to rise.
