Election Day

Round Food

 

You asked for pictures of the food at the Jamestown Pie Company. Well, I confess that I didn't take any photographs of the actual food itself. However, I did snap this photo of a more recent sign on the front of the restaurant showing some of their "round food".

Expo

 

Hey, this was a pretty cool event! A kind of one-stop-shop for everything having to do with health and wellness.

On my way out, after working out, I was even able to get my annual flu shot. I wish I could have gotten my Covid booster at the same time, but from what I’ve read and heard, it’s probably just as well not to get my Covid and flu shots together at the same time. 

Three Ordinary Girls

 

Brady's book is deeply disturbing and dredged up all kinds of old questions I've had over the years about violent versus non-violent forms of resistance.

Mycology

 

In retrospect, give my lifelong fascination with fungi of all sorts, maybe I should have been a mycologist. In any case, I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity these before and after shots of the fungus I tentatively identified in a previous post as Brefeldia maxima.

Footbridge

 

I stopped to talk with the contractor responsible for replacing this footbridge. Simple, right? 

Uhm, no. Few things in life are truly as simple as they seem. Part of what made this job more difficult was because it had to be built in an area certified as wetlands. But this area also serves as part of the plan to mitigate the effects of storm water runoff from a nearby housing development. AND, on top of all that, the drainage pipes running underneath the bridge had been crushed. So, of course, they had to be dug up and replaced. 

Fortunately, the contractor had experience in all these areas and was able--amazingly enough!--to get the job done in just a matter of days. He also thought it might have been a nice touch to install solar-powered lights. But, alas, no one wanted to foot the bill for those. So it is what it is, and a very nice change from the rotting footbridge it replaced.
