Continuing from yesterday …

EOU, all day.  A late afternoon walking of the animal, documenting campus along the way, then over to Schwartz Theatre for a production of “Death by Design” by student thespians later that evening (in the rain).

Some quick errands downtown, then a late afternoon Dog Meander across EOU, documenting the disappearing October and the autumn campus.

Morning walk to 103, dodging rain showers and checking to see if any leaves are still on the trees …

Walking home from downtown at dusk, we find that the Canon works reasonably well in the near-darkness.  Just about time to return it; the thing has been useful.

On a shopping spree, Kim buys a stalk of Brussel sprouts and I discover a new car magazine with great photography.  Later, on the early evening exorcism of The Beast, we see ten deer and many, many geese and inspect Jack’s tombstone with the dancer sculpture piece in place.  And so on.

A late afternoon walk with Sir Charles Barkage…

Windy, rain about to fall …

Spent most of the day working out in my head the solutions to four new development projects that emerged this week.  The rest of my body accompanied Kim to the medical clinic, where I read issues of Time magazine, stared out the windows and saw one of the most decrepit but running (and starting and apparently running well) Ford pickups I have seen for awhile.  And walked down to the former workplace to give off a little consulting.

As I was returning home from a stroll across campus, I strike up a new acquaintance with John and Mary and Teddy.  John tells me that he was in the Class of ’45 with Sybil, and guess who his dentist was!  He is/was a photographer who tells of being called upon to take “funeral pictures”, where the deceased was propped up to be part of a group family photograph.  And he apparently documented activities at EOU and in local manufacturing businesses.  He told me of his Pentax and Nikon cameras (digital and film) and his medium-format Crown Graphic.  Kim and I have seen this couple frequently on our dog walks, and now we have some backstory.
