The photos I shot of Volcán Barú and Boquete in Panama were taken in August and September of 1980. Much of their quality has been lost due to the prints aging. The photos begin with where I stayed [Volcán Barú] while in Panama and end with the Boquete area. To me, being up on that [...]
A week ago I washed my windows. This afternoon, before it got dark, I went out to dump a bucket of compost. When looking up towards my house, my windows grabbed my attention. I haven’t had time to notice, after they were cleaned, how their appearance changed from the outside looking in. Is it just [...]
I treated myself to a post-birthday gift by creating a memory created from memories. I began my drive around 12:40 p.m., Monday, October 10, 2011. I got home at approximately 6:50 that evening. That 6 hrs. and 10 mins. of driving was part 2 of my vacation for this year. Part 1 was when I [...]
My best friend on October 10, 2011 at 1:53 p.m. She is half Chihuahua and half miniature Poodle. This hybrid dog may be referred to as a Wapoo, Chipoo, Poochi, or a Choodle. My 10 pound Rascal Chi-Poo was born on March 13th, 2007. She’s around 4 ½ years old in this photo. Rascal was [...]
October will be here at the end of this week this year. That month the 58th year of my life will begin. Back in October of 1973, as I turned 19 years of age, life was a lot simpler and more pleasurable. Back then, 100+ million less people lived in the U.S. The U.S. seat [...]
1987 Arnold Schwarzeneggar Predator → the truck! Puz isn’t interested in the Wizard of Oz, but rather the Wizard of Zzzz. Aspie Mom at age 6 in 1960 with her neurotypical daughter at 6 age in 1988. I was told that my buddy bear up there looks demon possessed. I’m thinking I don’t have much to [...]
I never kayaked on a reservoir before. The Cannonsville Reservoir is my first and I doubt I’ll return there again. Even though this reservoir is about 15 miles long and averages one-half mile wide, to me, it felt like being trapped in a big water basin. The water is surrounded by mountains and woods, but [...]
Even though cooking is not my forte, God does bless the concoctions created from incorporating leftovers I find in my refrigerator. This casserole is too yummy for me to not save the recipe where I can find it. If I print it out, I’ll probably forget where I put it. It’s basic, and most influential, [...]
My first camera was a Minolta SR-T 101. I remember having bought it on my 19th birthday in October of 1973. I was happily impressed by the prints from my first roll of film developed. I scanned one of those old (and now faded) prints I plan to publish on a post someday. A decade [...]
A vacation is leisure time away from work (time longer than several hours out of one day) devoted to rest or pleasure. Typically, people perceive work as paid employment. They might not go so far as to say that being unemployed is like being on a vacation, but few would be able to realize I [...]
