The other day as I was spending time behind the dirty windshield, I happened to notice something you just don’t see any more. Attached to the wall of an abandoned building was a real, honest-to-goodness payphone.

Pre-Christmas Randomness
With less than two weeks until Christmas Day, I thought I would share some random thoughts about the season. It doesn’t feel much like Christmas, after all, we have been listening to Christmas music since Halloween.

On Life and Digital Cameras
Don’t you wish life was like a digital camera? I have recently taken up a new hobby, photography.

If you recall, last time I was wondering about what dogs think. This led to a somewhat logical next step, that being, what do dogs talk about?
