Crumbling infrastructure

Jones bridge chatt n half

The north half of Jones Bridge over the Chatthoochee has been, um, an archaeological site for over nine decades (if the combo of WikiPee and my math are correct; abandoned 1922), while it was a functioning bridge for a bit less than two decades.

Find the bridge here: 34.00156,-84.23428.

Man, RU stubborn!

Brussels sprouts new lens dealie

Today, the magical Amazon Prime brought us an assortment of goodies…. Two electrical doodads I think means there may be a timer on the downstairs bath fan at some point. A floor pad that means I must now bulldoze my way through a flinging project in my office to install my new standup desk—with a well-padded floor mat. A book for book club; I’m rather a Luddite about my book purchases—fiction deserves to be passed around…so trees die for me (sorry; I’m a PDF fan for other reading material). And a lens dealie. Something I’m told creates an effect (or effects) that are not exactly to be duplicated in Photoshop. Hence, the presentation of the Brussels sprouts.

Title to be said laughing…. And, no relation to the lens. Or anything else from Amazon.

Everyone smiles…

Jarritos x two

Scary hands…scary smiles….

Actually, if you like fruity sodas, as I recall, Jarritos Mandarin is pretty tasty. And I’m not much of a soda fan….

Archaeology in service of advertising…scary most every time, ¿no?

And the colors…

Lemon lime TJs

Citrus are…sacred. Wonderful in winter…and in summer…and in the transition seasons…. Today, they cheered me.

Multi-flora

Fleurs pretty

This has become such a gloomy day, it deserves pretty. And we do, too!

Crustaceans are bugs

Lobster tail tail

Tail of a lobster tail.

The temp outside today did one of those up-down-up-down patterns that always feels so strange. Almost 70°F upstairs, which is just plain too hot for winter (February! Northern Hemisphere!) sleeping.

This weather has no connection to a lobster tail on ice, except that I saw this one in the seafood case today….

Regarding the title…crustaceans are arthropods, and insects are arthropods, and insects are bugs, so….

That’s how it goes

Sand dollar Xmas ornament

One of our favorite hand-made ornaments…thanks to Nephew Numba One.

The other day the Rodent of February foretold…that it was time to take down our Xmas tree. It’s been relocated to the gutter.

Breakfast-dinner

Blueberry pancake dinner

Punted on traditional meal prep tonight, and made bleu-berry pancakes and fried eggs for dinner. Simple is güd.

(Sometimes.)
