The People I Meet and the Places I Go. Day Three

Gas has gone down again today at my favorite fueling spot. I met Jen today. Jen is the store manager at my favorite Irving. I haven't met Kathy yet though. Kathy is the girl from the Cruisin' to Win commercial on the radio.

It keeps going down!

Say hello to Jen next time you visit the Brewer Irving!

I was in Orono today and was looking forward to having lunch at my favorite burger spot, Woodmen's Bar & Grill. They have the best food, yum! Check them out here. They don't open until 4pm so I had Subway. Gas in Orono is a bit higher then in Brewer at $3.78 a gallon. Down the road is a house with a flag planted on their lawn for each of our soldiers that have died in action in Iraq. It's a nice memorial for the guy and gals, but at the same time it is sad to think of the losses.

Higher Gas Prices Here.

For our fallen soldiers.

I met with Britt today to look over her senior photos and try to choose which image she would like for her yearbook image. They all came out great so she has had a hard time choosing. We've narrowed it down quit a bit from the original 60 that she chose.

I had fun with Britt during her senior portrait session.

Well as a lame excuse for not getting out and meeting more people I have gone around the house and taken a few flower shots.

Well that was my Monday. Let me know what you think!

The People I Meet and the Places I Go. Day Two

August 10, 2008.

As everyday I started at irving getting my coffee. As you can see the price of gas dropped. Today I got a free Red Bull. Aaron and Jason presented me with my Cruizing To Win Prize.

lower gas prices

Did I mention that Jason was crazy?

My buddy and pilot Chris and I got together and went flying. The first time in over six weeks. We headed to Dewitt Field in Old Town, where I met Kendall. Kendall fueled the plane and we were off. We headed down to Bar Harbor but found it to be covered with fog. We dodged some rain and weather and headed back home.

Look at the rain

I don't know what lake this is

This stream comes from Chemo Pond and heads right through Lenord's Mill and then onto the Penobscot river.

Did I mention that we went to mobile and got a soda? Gas there was even less then at Irving.

Cheaper gas

Chris and I then headed to City Park on Stillwater Ave where we hiked the bogwalk. We got a few images and then the rain caught us.

There were all kinds of bumble bees

At this point I am on the verge of being late for my niece's birthday dinner at the Olive Garden. We made it on time and had a great dinner. We also ran into a couple of friends Mike & Noretta, but I didn't get any photos as I had already put my camera back into the car.

My niece Laura!

That is how my Sunday went. Let me know what you think.

The People I Meet and the Places I go

This is my plan. For the next week I plan on photographing the people that I meet and/or see during my day and the places I go.

August 9, 2008.

To start with, today I went to get my coffee at Irving and met Jason as I do every morning.

My local Irving

Jason-He thinks he works for Circle K
Here I Am To Save The Day...Circle K

I went back to Irving (Which is now Circle K but I like Irving Better so...) for more coffee. At Irving I met Aaron. Aaron is the store's assistant manager. Aaron did not give me any free coffee. I thought it would be I nice thing for him to do!

Aaron

I returned bags and bags of bottles at the Brewer Redemption Center. This is where I met Howard. Howard and his wife own and operate the Redemption Center.

The Sign Pretty Much Says it all.

Howard Hard at work.

The thing my wife likes about the Brewer Redemtion Center is that they have baby wipes to wipe your hands after you handle the bottles.

Hell just wipe your hands on your jeans, be a man. (imagine Tim The Tool Man Taylor's Grunt here!)

My neighbors are painting their house. Neighbor Girls lugs the paint as Neighbor Guy is coming down after it, and Neighbor Boy mows my lawn. I have great neighbors.
