Ominous Morning Sky

This is looking north. To the east, the predawn sky was unobstructed by clouds, and its light lit the buildings to form a mysterious contrast with the darker clouds above.

Hotel in progress

This is a picture of the hotel that the casino I work for is building. This picture was taken from the 7th floor of our parking garage.

aaa doe less ents

Last Sunday there was this group of 7 young teenagers that just wouldn't leave me alone. I'm so mean to them; don't they get the hints?

(just kidding, I really love them. I think.)

ghetto store

This is the store near my neighborhood. It is a scary place.

Wentworth Chevytown rotating sign

The quality is even crappier than ever, because I didn't realize that I took this on the Low quality setting (which produces a smaller image). So I had to blow it up to match the rest of the images. I really like the picture, though.

I love signs like these. They always bring character to a neighborhood, especially when they are older landmarks. See these posts for more examples.

The bluff overlooks much of downtown Oregon City, and has views of Milwaukie and Portland. I posed for a similar picture about 15 years ago.

Blue Bird truck

Bad quality, hurried shot that I took because I recognized the Blue Bird logo (it's permanently etched into my brain from years of riding public school transportation).

I guess these were secondhand mudflaps, eh?

Oregon Convention Center and evening clouds

Best shot I could get. I would've preferred there to be no streetlights in the picture.

How to use the Our Crappy Bloggy Button

Here's the code you would use in your template or site code. Don't forget to put it inside of a <li> ... </li> tag if you are adding it to your sidebar links list.

It helps to have that code all on the same line, but it's not required.

rivals

The FedEx driver and the UPS driver appear to be buddies as they chat through their truck windows.

snow for real

The view out my front door last night!

Laura, look at the camera
