Ale81 ( A Late One)


I had another post ready for today but have decided to postpone it in order to present a photo of my favorite beverage . . . Ale81! This is a beverage that is only made in Kentucky. Only lately has it become available outside of Kentucky, but still nowhere near Columbus, Ohio . . . until recently. Tabitha and I were in the grocery the other day picking up the essentials and we walked through the soda isle (this is rare because we don't drink or buy soda) and sitting gloriously stacked on a shelf in front of us was Ale81. I was so excited I almost dropped the basket full of groceries! (We bought two six packs.) What does Ale81 taste like? Heaven.

Can I ask what grocery store? or are you keeping that a secret. I still have an empty bottle on my shelf from one of the times in red river gorge.

I still remember the woman in food mart store saying, "You ain't ever had ale8?" Then looking around an noticing everyone there was drinking it. Had to try it.

Sunny: Cat in the Sun

I know that Cats and Rainbows and Flowers are a "no-no" when it comes to photographic standards, but I just don’t care. Why is it that people--and by people I mean “serious” photographers--think that for a photograph to be meaningful it has to depict conflict, tragedy or something altogether artsy and serious. I feel that good photos are good photos and that if I happen to be at my in-laws' house and they happen to have an extremely beautiful and expressive cat than I should by all means take pictures of it. That’s the case with this batch of images. Mock me if you want, but I stand by my belief and in doing so, I throw my hat in with Tony Mendoza. On another note, if you like what you see -- cats, rubber roosters, ducks and the occasional documented story-- you should subscribe to my blog, or at least leave me comments on what you see. Let me know what you think of the Images, or the Writing, or even me as a Person. It just helps me, as an artist, to get feed...

Small: Cat-Eyed-Lizard-Bat

Long time no post. . . right, I get it, I'm bad at this. I've been doing a lot of work lately and just haven't taken the time to post any of it. Instead of going too big too fast and burning myself out before I can even begin, I'm starting small in more ways than one . . . pun . . . get it? This was my birthday present from my wife this year, and yes, I know its a Dragon. But when she asked me what to name it, I came up with Cat-Eyed-Lizard-Bat. I like it. I hope you like it too - let me know what you think!

Small: Speed Duck

Image
Everyone knows the rubber duck, the favorite bath toy of your youth. I found this at a good friend's house a few weeks ago (sorry for the ridiculously long blogging hiatus). They call it Speed Duck, they found it at some shoppe that sells a large variety of custom made rubber ducks. . . Awesome! He -my friend- is into racing and keeps this with him when he rallies (that's a type of race where a bunch of people in cars race around the woods and other such places and try not to wreck). Yeah, I don't really get it either. This is his good luck charm, which I guess works because he hasn't wrecked yet.
