A few shots in and around the Pompidou. Paris, France. June 2013.
Colorful Dawn East and West
Dawn: the first two photos looking east, the last two looking west.
Ratatouille Bocadillo and Waffles
I made a cheese burger bocadillo with ratatouille for dinner last night — it was wonderful. Around 11:00 this morning I took a load of stuff to Goodwill, and then stopped by the store around 12:00 to get a paper shredder. While looking for paper shedders I passed by the waffle makers, and since I was hungry, I ended up coming home with a great big waffle make instead of a paper shredder (I didn’t find the paper shredder I wanted). As you probably guessed, I had waffles for lunch. I made a quick buttermilk batter from our old Betty Crocker cookbook, and used the waffle maker’s suggested amount of batter for the first waffle. That turned out to be a little much as some of the batter ran over the edges of the waffle maker. The remaining batter wasn’t quite enough for a full-sized waffle.
Of Mice and Mess
Laurie’s been reorganizing the house over winter break, and she finally got to the armory/computer room/photo room/workshop that has been doubling as a large closet to store everything that we didn’t have a place for otherwise. Scads of age old electronics, analog sound equipment, computers and peripherals have come out of this room — many of which go back to the stone age of their technology.
Contrails
One of our interesting morning skies with light cloud cover and contrails.
Cool Bikes
Even though it’s winter, you still see lots of cool motorcycles on the streets around Albuquerque.
Black Cats & Finch
I suppose the title could be for a law office, but it’s simply Rosencrantz, a finch and Guildenstern.
Free Photo Van
There was a free photo van parked in front of our office all morning. It’s part of a 1% for the arts project where people can have their portraits taken, and the portraits are going to be all put together in a mural, I believe. It’s an interesting project.
As the Smoke Churns
In the continuing saga of the aftermath of the flamenco fire, the restoration to clean up the smoke damage on our office is finally underway.
Old Cars, Old Macs & A Selectric II
In the relative ages of cars, typewriters and computers, do an old VW bus and an old Macintosh SE/30 fit the same virtual vintages, as compared to an old IBM Selectric II and a blurry old coupe from the late 1940’s or early 1950’s?
