A-shoe's visual sojourn

This photo is from a great local photographer's Flickr stream.

And I shall use it as my permanent justification for starting to set aside money for a DSLR and some good photography training, and/or practice!

At the Andrews Air Force Base Air Show, 20th May, 2007

OK - that was "Armed Forces Dorky" enough.

(Blogged off cellphone while I was there - camera photos coming soon, but not to Flickr!)

Mmm hmmm - I need to get me one of those!

Sheesh - serving sizes for salads really shouldn't grow to such unmanageable proportions! But it tasted as good as it looked.
Except for the Bleu Cheese (which, IMO, is leftover cheese, gone bad, made famous, and forced down the gullets of unsuspecting wannabe cheese "connoisseurs"). I usually ask for a substitue - although i'm not sure how Feta would work with Buffalo Chicken.

My lucky streak with ordering incongrous items at 'themed' eateries is intact!

General Tso's Chicken, GarlicGinger Szechwan Fried String Beans, Rice, California Rolls and the HOTTEST Wasabi and freshest Ginger slices I've eaten in ages!

Forgive the fork - I'm a chopstick luddite!

(More discussion at Flickr, as always)

Time to start autocrossing again!

Those were fun days! And now that the warranty's no more, it's time for expressive-automobile-experimentation-again :)

The 'team' magnet decal reads OMGHI2UWTFBBQ. Yeah - crazy!
The SpeedPass, you ask? Just in case I have to pay Toll somewhere along the course!

Photo by a local pro photographer at the event - unfortunately he's not on flickr.

Apparently that's what's happening to the Beltway these days!

This thing was HUGE - had two vans behind/around it proclaiming the extent of "Oversized"ness of the Load!

Someone's all ready for the summer :) And I'm envious!
