Banking on Rocks This local bank had the idea to protect itself by removing the flowers and bushes and placing rocks, possibly to shield it's front from "drive-thru" customers. Cost saving on landscaping. I love the design change...it's original. I'm sure each rock has a history and story, even perhaps a name and type. One rock appears to be mooning passers-by. I didn't take it personally. On this date in time this rock grouping is one short of a dozen. Perhaps they represent board members or customers who count. I know I do.
Sinh Update 2024 Saw Sinh yesterday and he looked fantastic. He is very busy yet gladly took a moment to say hello - he liked my phone today. Sinh has a lot of lucky cats - see the one on the top shelf behind him? He's 47 now.

Down the rabbit hole Mural artist: @gapeone In the days of the 21st Century's internet and social media, we are in a position to better appreciate Lewis Carroll's 19th Century insights of getting sucked down a rabbit hole into a surreal crazy land. “The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.” [from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll]
High Five Update: The Animal Care Society said today (April 13) that Turtle (this kitten) has been adopted! Wishing you the best with your new family, Turtle!

Right Path While taking a small 2 mile hike around this lake yesterday, David and I encountered many wonderful, interesting people. On the top of this dam we had the privilege of meeting a gentleman who had traveled on the USS Ticonderoga to her final destination. He was originally from Jamaica and explained how he wound up joining the Navy at 14. We were honored to have met him. He had a great handshake!
