wherein we met the cooolest old man-shipbuilder-historian-signmaker. and talked to him for an hour or so.
My father-in-law is a signmaker and he made this manicule maybe 30 years ago and Ryan took it when we first moved out. It's been hanging with us ever since. (A sign, hanging! Get it! Oh ho ho, I am funny!)

'searching out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
looking for the places only they would know'

(homeless can't go here anymore =shelters that very unsafe and it's not too warm yet)
These were some very genial protesters who were waving to everyone.
I was in a car waiting at a stoplight and happened to have chosen that day to only go with my 50mm 1.4 on the D40 and have the Olympus XA ride sidekick. Naturally, I was confronted with this situation, which really cried out for a longer lens. My moment of hesitation cost me the opportunity to open the window, and I just shot through the windshield. I was immediately disappointed, but after a crop, the shot isn't so bad. A testiment to the old fellow's signmaker that the words are very clear in spite of the intervening dirty auto glass.
I don't know who this guy is, but he made quite a lot of our signs,
and he has FANTASTIC handwriting!
again, great stuff.
Sign maker had also placed a clear coating of grains to avoid slippage-!
..I've decided-I must meet the town signmaker !
(it'd be funny if it was my old boss from high school, as I know she was moving back to smith falls-hmmm)
Ah Chiquita's...
We usually stop here on the way home, doesn't get as busy as the other places.
Although I noticed today on their sign that the signmakers spelt their web address wrong. It's got hppt: www. written at the start. That's quite a geeky thing to notice right?
