FOOD

The Indy food trucks are out in force for the Super Bowl visitors. On Saturday night, one quarter of the downtown circle was lined with food trucks and an amazing blend of wonderfully enticing smells. Couple that with the normal downtown restaurant smells and dozens of food service/caterers for the various game week events and downtown smells delicious.

PLAYGROUND

Downtown Indianapolis has become an NFL lovers playground this week. I'm not a football fanatic but it's an amazing experience. If you ever get the chance to dive into the presence of a hometown Super Bowl, do it.

JUNK

You can tell how the work week went by the amount of junk food containers in the garbage.  Last week was rough.

And don't worry, the aluminum pan was recycled before the bag went to the dumpster.

...IS IN THE DETAILS

Contractor notes during salon renovation.

ARCHITECTURE

Ceiling details in the building where youngest daughter is opening a new salon.

ARRANGED

A florists's window arranged to merge from a Christmas theme to simply winter.

ICONIC

This is a car lot in Cincinnati, OH. The Giant Indian has been there since the 1950s or '60s. The place used to be called Cherokee Motors, and the catch line on their TV commercials was "Cherokee Motors.........where Paddock meets Vine at the big Indian sign."

SIGNS

The car wash signs intimidate me.  I'm always wondering what happens if I stop when I'm supposed to drive forward or hit the button for the sun roof when the clear coat is being applied or back up when the spot free rinse is beginning...

CLEANLINESS

With no snow, I'm not sure how everything has gotten so grime covered but the car wash lines were deep as everyone embraced cleanliness.

FLUFFY!

This time of year I would rather the fluffy white stuff on my lawn be snow than dandelions but nature does as She sees fit.

PERSPECTIVE

Sometimes it's all in your perspective. The official story of the office Gumby is that he was an award for contorting to meet any ridiculous demand "being flexible in the workplace."  The unofficial story is Gumby may keep a smile on his face but that waving left hand is not saying "you're number one." 

TRANSPORTATION

I transport my bacon home in a reusable canvas bag but to each his own...
Shot's a little fuzzy what with the driving, the rain and the hysterical laughing.
Love small town living.

UNEXPECTED

I did not expect to come face to face with a swan during an early morning walk at an urban retention pond in the midst of parking lots and tall office buildings.
