I finally had time to stop by the Sleepy Poet a couple of weeks ago and bought some old snapshots. Here is snapshot #1. Five friends posing arm in arm. No information on location and date.

Downtown Musicians
After a meeting at the Main Library last week I saw these musicians waiting to cross the street. I've heard our city's orchestra a few times now and that is a lot of underpaid talent standing on that street corner.

Ouch
Even in video games if you are ejected out the windshield of your car at a high speed you'll end up dead.
But, at least you can climb back into another car and run over some pedestrians. It all works out in the end.

Found this great time lapse video of weather breaking over downtown Charlotte. Beautiful.

Lights and Stuff
Last night in between snarky comments about the music, costumes and general silliness of the halftime we did all agree that the projections on the stage looked pretty cool. I came across this video on Reddit of the light show the Toronto Maple Leafs used during their pregame ceremony. Incredible stuff.

Sunlight and Clouds and Shit
Saw this view at the mall today. It's hard to capture those sun rays that poke through a hole the clouds. I pretty much whiffed on this one but it's close.
On an unrelated note, the sound system at the food court at the Southpark Mall is still down. It's been down since around the new year. It is so nice not to have shitty music blaring through the food court. Now I hear foot steps and people talking. I am wondering what the deal is. Before the TV screens there played some piped in broadcast that featured music videos by average pop bands and interviews with minor celebrities and the occasional funny pet video. Now there is nothing but blank, silent screens. My bet is the company that created the content went tits up and the mall is searching for a new company to provide them with innocuous content. I say, take down those TV and leave the room as it is. Not every public space needs a soundtrack. That's not going to happen but a guy can dream, can't he?

Burn, Baby, Burn
Yesterday afternoon we were treated to this sight, our neighbor burning leaves in her driveway. An illegal act. I am wondering if she knows this is illegal? She may not. I need to find a nice way to tell her to knock it the fuck off.
