Five Points: Brioche French Toast with Whipped Mascarpone, Toasted Pecans, and Vermont Maple Syrup.
Large french toast but they were so wet inside. Not good at all. No thanks.

First of all, points to the first person to point out the irony in this photo that wasn't planned at all and that I didn't even notice myself until days after I took the photo.
I haven't even picked up my camera again lately. I feel like I've had so much going on. I tried to write last night, but couldn't. I got all of like one line down to add to the line I already had down. This is not going as I had planned.
My creativity feels like it's lacking. Maybe it's due to having so much going on and so much on my mind. I need to let go.
We have a funeral to go to today. I'm leaving work early, which makes me happy, but attending this funeral will be so hard. How do you deal with watching someone grieve for a parent who passed away too young? I have no desire to see that pain across his face and eminate from his very core and be powerless to do or say anything to fix it. "I'm so sorry" just doesn't cut it. You would think being a minister's daughter and dealing with so many funerals as a child of people I knew would make it easier...somehow I think it made me numb. But then again, I've not had a close, personal experience with death really. I have not had someone that I was so close to pass away. My grandmother passed when I was about 12, I suppose. That was traumatic and hard, but I didn't go to her funeral. I didn't want that to be the last way I remembered her and that was my Mom's idea and I still thank her for that because she was right and I'm glad I didn't go. And while I thought she was awesome and she was my grandmother, we weren't really close.
To lose a parent? That's a whole nother kind of hurt for a child. Especially when the parent was so very young. My heart aches for our friend and I want to be there for him, but I fear no amount of consoling will be of any help. This will be something that he and time will have to work out together somehow, I suppose.
Maybe creativity will spur from this. There is a meaning, a purpose in today and I feel it down deep all of a sudden. I hope something good comes from today, especially being so shrouded in grief and darkness.
Sorry if this is a downer, but I write what's on my mind and in my heart and I won't hold back.
American Graffiti by Betty Saletta
The movie remembrance of Modesto's past, "American Graffiti" was created by the noted filmmaker George Lucas, a Modesto native and a member of the Thomas Downey High School Class of 1962. This bronze sculpture, created by Betty Saletta, also entitled "American Graffiti" celebrates the genius of Goerge Lucas and the youthful innocence and dreams of the 50s and 60s. Betty Saletta, July 11. 1997
Although American Graffiti is set in 1962 Modesto, California, Lucas believed the city had changed too much in 10 years and initially chose San Rafael as the primary shooting location,
but the production crew was denied permission to shoot beyond a second day. As a result, most filming for American Graffiti was done in Petaluma.

Spiderweb on some very nasty thorns. This was a 1:1 macro that was then cropped, so you're looking at quite an enlargement.

The Santa in the window of Junkman's Daughter in Little Five Points was looking rather despondent when I passed by the shop before lunch today.
Maybe it was because he had been promised that he would be appearing as Harry Potter this year, but then they only got as far as outfitting him with the right glasses.
It could be, though, that he felt left out of the far more interesting "Furry Christmas" display under construction just to his right. An attack of nostalgia for old times with the reindeer, perhaps?
Mounted Points are ideal for deburring, tool sharpening, finishing cavities, removing tool marks on a very wide range of materials, etc. Mounted points are available in a large variety of abrasives: A, WA, PA, C, GC, 70A in grits: #46, #60, #80, #100, #120, #150, #180, #220, #240, #320 and #400 and hardness: H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T.
We offer over 60 different shapes and sizes. Our mounted points can be rotated from 15,000 rpm to over 100,000 rpm depending on size and application.
Since I'd basically finished my photo documenting of Route 66 through New Mexico, one of the things I did on my trip to Amarillo on Labor Day Weekend was to explore some of the tiny--basically-ghost towns in Eastern New Mexico that lay along the Route. Ya know, those flyspecks you see only as the name of an exit off I-40? While certainly earning their place on the Mother Road, these were indeed once small towns that were often located some distance from the Route.
This is the ghost town across the railroad tracks from 66--the town of Montoya. Judging by the ruins remaining, Montoya was more of a railroad town than neccessarily a Route 66 town.
This was a cool ride - you sit in the cars and use the laser guns to shoot Zurg targets [anything with a flashing "Z"]. You can also spin the cars to aim at your targets better, kinda like the teacup ride. I scored 97,000 points to Kirsten's 13,000. We were both level 3 though; 3,001 more points and i would have been level 4...ah well. :)
