Out of control

2009-07-07T06:30:00.013-05:00

I thought the trumpet vine in my backyard was wild. This is the back of a business on West Moore.

Have you made it out to Ham's Orchard yet? They have the best peaches, cobblers, pies, jellys and of course peach ice cream. It's only 6:30am and already I want ice cream. I need to start that diet.

Do we have a problem here?

2009-07-03T16:43:00.005-05:00

Maybe not paying attention or just can't read. We already know they can not spell, unless Whirlpool also makes refriderators. Two signs on this pole, and I saw two other poles with the same sign posted. How much of a fine would that be?

Below is from a story in the Tribune from this week. Click for the entire story.

City code enforcers battle street spam

Officials are especially alarmed by signs posted on wooden utility poles, which breaks state law versus a local ordinance.

OK, everyone go back to having a great Friday.

Alleyway

I have posted pictures of Moore Ave. Here is the alley on the south side of Moore. There are plans to improve the parking along the alley which should help the businesses on Moore.

I can not believe the year is half over. I always say I wish it was Friday or the weekend. Truth is though, I don't want to skip any days. I am getting to old to want to wish days away.

...... but I will settle for a 2 day work week and 5 day weekends.

Shaved Ice

2009-06-29T06:30:00.023-05:00

Have you ever had shaved ice? Saturday, we stopped off at Bahama Bucks in Rockwall on the way home from Bass Pro Shops. With the temperature hovering around 100 degrees fahrenheit or 37.7 celsius, shaved ice hits the spot. Its not a sno-cone, it's better than a sno-cone. Saturday I had black cherry. I think on my next stop I will get either apple or lemon flavor, they are suppose to be really tart.

Click the picture to enlarge, the bottles on the wall are just some of the different flavors they have.

We saw The Hangover over the weekend. Awesome movie, I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt. It's rated R so it might not be for everyone.

Updating yesterdays post, the photo blogger who was arrested in Iran has been released to his family. He has posted a short update on his site.

Theme day-Iran Protests

2009-06-28T02:30:00.008-05:00

The picture below was taken by one of our City Daily Photo bloggers. I mentioned after the elections in Iran he had the most powerful images I had seen. I wasn't the only one as one of his photos was used as the cover of Life Magazine. Unfortunately he has now gone missing. It is feared by his family and friends that he has been arrested.

Updated-Amir has been released and is home.

Today is a special Theme Day to support our fellow blogger and all Iranians who are being denied having their vote counted.

The photo above was taken during a silent march. Hundreds of thousands of protesters in Tehran marched without saying a word. They simply held their fingers in the air symbolizing V for victory.

I started my site just over two years ago, with the goal to simply put pictures of Terrell, Texas on the web and to show the good side of Terrell. Monday through Friday I usually have something posted by 6:30AM. Weekends I am flexible, depending on whats going on in town.

I am a sports nut, many of you may have seen me at Terrell sporting events with my point and shoot. I didn't attend Terrell High School, but I love to root for the home team. I also love to take pictures at night.

I take my camera with me everywhere I go. I always look at things wondering if it would make a good picture. I also have videos posted on You Tube of happenings around Terrell. Be sure to check them out. Be sure to check out the other local bloggers listed to the right.

American National Bank building, Terrell, Texas

I posted the same view of this building in November, but it was at night. I thought I would see what the building looks like from the same angle taken during the day. This is the American National Bank building on the corner of Moore Ave and Catherine St. in Terrell.

I think I like the night picture better.

On June 6th I included in my post an item about unclaimed property being held by the State of Texas. I mentioned that the city of Terrell had quite a few listings. Tuesday night, the local NBC affiliate channel 5 ran a story on their news about unclaimed property in Texas with emphasis being on property and cash unclaimed by businesses and government offices. I wonder if they visit my blog?

Dallas area drivers are some of the worst in the country? I can't argue with that.

When I hear someone complaining about having to do their job over and over, a job they need to pay their bills, I wonder what the person that got laid off a few weeks ago is doing. We all have deadlines, we all have tasks that we dread. We all want to be paid more and do less. There are a lot of people who could do our jobs. Go find something else to do. We can always be replaced.
