"Big Cloud"Humberto is hitting Texas, but we're feeling the effects all the way here in New Orleans. I stopped and took this picture on the way to work this morning. If I hadn't paused, I might have made it to the office relatively dry. As it was, I got a soaking. But as my friend Kevin "Toast" Kennedy used to say, "What's pain when there's art to gain?"
Update: Within a couple weeks of posting, this photo became my "most favorited" ever. Somewhat surprising to me. I think I've taken many photos that are more interesting than this one. But who am I to dispute?
Dec., 2008: This photo has only now reached a thousand views, after well over a year. It remains the "most favorited" photo of the nearly 4,000 I've uploaded. Strange.(Editor B)+
"Down & Out in the Morning"6:51 AM.
Morning is not Xy's favorite time. But at least she has Archer. And coffee.(Editor B)+
"Blackberry"I got a Blackberry so I could stay in touch with e-mail and web stuff on my recent trip back to New Orleans. And it's a phone too.(Editor B)+
