Happy 110th Birthday!


110 years ago today, Willis H. Carrier invented what would become the modern-day air conditioner.
I am eternally grateful.
The man was a genius.

Yesterday afternoon at about four o'clock, a black Nissan pickup and a Chevy SUV collided at the intersection of 8th and Locust Streets.

What I Saw - Sunday Afternoon - July 15, 2012

 With all the hit-and-miss showers this afternoon, some folks kept an umbrella handy, just in case.

And this pooch wore his rain slicker - just in case.

What I Saw - Sunday, July 15, 2012

 Three fishing rods and a paddle . . . 
He actually caught a fish while I was there.

 One sentinel and three swimmers

And then the sentinel swam away, too.

 Ancient rusty bicycle - 
Only 20 bucks at the Toll Booth

 Weather-beaten carriage at the Toll Booth - 
I don't know how much.

Desert Storm vet

Security issues:
 Keys left on the step at 432 Locust - 
No one around

 Keys left in the lock at Fourth and Locust - 
No one around

Gate with lock, left open on Locust - 
No one around

Doors, windows left open all weekend at Front and Bridge Streets - 
No one around


And last but not least - more graffiti!

 Puddle of water from last night's much-needed rainfall

which also cleared up the river water near shore.
