Back alley dentistry

I went to the dentist to fill a cavity.

The dentist told me that, because of grinding, my teeth are 10 years older than I am.

Awesome!

This was some terrifying coloring book I found in the waiting room.

While I was waiting to be anesthetized at my low income/sliding scale dentist in Roseburg Oregon, I was flipping through some magazine and turned to a picture of my friend Liz, I said; wow, what a coincidence.

I heart pilgrims and hate the enviornment

I believe the car in front of me had some amusing bumper sticker.

Maybe something about JC or guns or the Republican Party.

The future is now.

I mean now.

My new eco-friendly system of rechargeable batteries has resulted in an excessive loss of pictures.

This weekend for example; I had to change the batteries three times to preserve the thanksgiving pictures I took.

And I still lost all of my pictures.

I will let you imagine Thanksgiving based on these blurry yet unrelated pictures.

This is the 40 pound, organic, free range, vegetarian, albino turkey from the fancy supermarket in Eugene.

These are delicious pies, cranberries, stuffings, dressings and deviled eggs. some of which were free of gluten.

And what would Thanksgiving be without champagne styled beverages?

And Wild Turkey.

Lee Ann's brother and his man friend came all the way from Vermont to celebrate. And her friend Eric came all the way from Arkansas, by way of northern California.

All this to commemorate Jesus discovering America.

Or was it when he turned yams into champagne

Regardless of what miracle we were celebrating...

A good time was had by all.

On an unrelated note; this is a Dremel scroll saw attachment. I was pretty sure I needed it. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit my Dremel. Oh well, I probably would have cut off a finger anyway.

Here is the Shabby Shic section at the salvation Army. The "section" consisted of a few pairs of acid washed jeans with holes in them. I do like the spelling though.

This was a (little too) covert photo of the guy who plays songs at the Salvation Army.

I was sad to have missed him.

I hope that all of you had a swell Thanksgiving. Unless, of course, you are from Canada or Europe or pretty much anywhere else, in which case you can just think about the day that Jesus discovered your country.

Note to self

An important moment.

Obviously.Why else would I write it down and photograph it.

twice...

Uphill battle

My franken-charger, almost, kind of works.

The green "charged" light is on. If it's charged or not, that is another question entirely.

This is a cat in a box.

I assure you that these are NOT cute cat pictures. They are, in fact, pictures of cats destroying files. When I get audited; I plan to show the IRS these pictures as "proof" that my financials were destroyed by the cat.

I also assure you that I am in no way affiliated with that awful cat hamburger craze or the anti cat hamburger craze.

Adam and I went to the Chinese restaurant. We were seated in the very cold back room and then forgotten about. Our lives are hard.

Maybe this is Tupperware. Possibly containing Zatarain's.

for the homies who ain't here

One of my coworkers has no short term memory. This is a caramel apple she made.

This is foliage.

This may be the beginning of the end.

Or it may be the mulletted bar tender at the Saw Mill.

Ben did not win at KINO. He was still glad he had given it his all.

We took Ben to the airport.

Apparently Ben and the pacific northwest do not mix.

I caught Ben off guard. He was really quite sad to be leaving Roseburg.

We are trying to organize a field trip to New Hampshire so we can visit Ben.

This plan is moving slowly.

I'm trying not to be sad.

On a lighter note; this woman really likes Halloween.

Scenic foliage and stuff

This is supposed to be a panorama shot.

Unfortunately, I can't/won't/don't use/like/care about Photoshop.

This one day; I had a job doing photo retouching.

In those few hours I learned just how much I can't/won't/don't want to use/like/care about Photoshop.

What this means for you; you have to use your imagination and create the 360 degree effect in your head.

Anyway, this is some lovely Fall foliage.

Not just a condemnation of Photoshop.

Because I love nature.

Not computers.

I'm not exactly sure how I went from documenting nature.

To a discussion of my varied job history.

And why I brought up that job, instead of the week where I worked as a garbage man.

Did I mention that my brother is a professional zombie?

No kidding.

He's in SAG and everything

My brothers career history is even more varied than my own.

Sometimes I get a little jealous.

Such is life.

These are pictures from my tangled mobile.

Maybe their suggestive or possibly gross.
