Morning walk downtown before the fierce afternoon thunderstorm …

Stepped outside this afternoon to see how hot is was (about 95 degrees F.), determined to try to do some human-free photographs that would show how hot it was.  Had to soon abandon the quest — it was too hot.

Leaving Charlie to fend for himself, we stroll downtown to visit old colleagues David (voted nicest guy in Tech Support)  and Erik (scary-smart programming wizard).  Wander about the main drag.  All using an analog-era fixed-focal length “normal” lens just now brought out of retirement to shake things up a bit.

 

At about 8am, we see a very rare but rough example of an early (ca. 2000) Honda Insight electric hybrid. Next, a circa 1956 Chevy pickup, plus a Texas Range Rover (Sport model). We take a look at fields just outside of town, then we stroll past the local cannabis store.

Today, exploring more streets and alleys:

Visiting Looking Glass Books in its new location with its tiny, 20-seat Shakespeare performance stage:

And taking notice of the only halfway interesting vehicular sightings:

 

A walk downtown on this first day of summer …

Stifling, brain-frying heat…

Miscellany on this sunny day … Discovered today and am reading a new book found at the Library, the Smithsonian’s “The VietNam War: The Definitive Illustrated History“, chock full of photographs, maps, graphics, and textual accounts.
