Images

Until now, I've never understood the allure of a camera phone. However, in the past week, I've seen images that I wish I could capture, yet they only remain in the album of my mind. Here's my album:

The trip meter on the car Monday morning. As I pulled into my parking spot at work, the trip meter read 26.2 miles. For some reason it seemed absolutely fantastic that from the gas station home and to work would be the exact mileage of a marathon.

A homeless man with a shopping cart. At work we had a large scale people move for which we rented plastic crates. When crate collection time came, we discovered eight missing crates. I swear that this homeless man, roughly 1.5 miles away from where I work, had three of these crates in his shopping cart. I thought folks at work might get a good "laugh" out of this image.

An elderly couple in a restaurant. Yesterday I had a late lunch at one of my favorite local dives. I like to people watch and noticed an older couple enter the restaurant. When they sat down, I noticed their refreshments were meager and stunning simultaneously. This elderly couple had before them a styrofoam cup and a canned beverage. By elderly, I mean the man was probably over eighty and the woman was not far behind. The canned beverage: Full Throttle. The website for this product does not seem geared towards this particular demographic (http://www.fullthrottleenergy.com/fullthrottle/main.jsprottleenergy.com/fullthrottle/main.jsp) given that the primary motto of the beverage is "let your man out." I imagine that this couple was sufficiently throttled.
