Lines, Shadows, Grass, and Rolls Royce

I am in total agreement with The Midwest City Chamber of Commerce!

A little too much school spirit

In my recent break, I had honestly forgotten the thrill of driving around with my Nikon handy, ready to grab the most bizarre (aka batsh*t insane) stuff that I see. It really sharpens my observational skills.

This, for example, was on the side of the road on my way back from lunch. Tired of the usual stuff, I decided to drive around a little farther than usual from the grindstone to fast food other than Sonic, Taco Bell, or McDonalds. In this quest (I landed at Quiznos), I came across this on a street I had yet to venture down until now.

For those of you who aren't quite sure what you are looking at, this is a "discount caskets to the public" store, and what do you find in thier showroom window?



That, my friends, is a "Sooner Crimson" casket with the University of Oklahoma's logo enblazoned right above where your face would be if you were to be the final owner of this beauty.

LED Wrapped Trees at Chesepeake

Went to the Chesepeake corporate HQ campus this evening. They have lit up each and every tree in the joint with bright shiney LED strands.

Here are some other shots:

The coffee cup that says it all

At my previous job, one of our purchasing agents (thanks Craig!) got this mug for me from one of our chemical supply houses.

The warnings include:

"Harmful if swallowed", "May cause cancer based on animal studies", and "Can cause reproductive effects".

The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) is equally disturbing.

Now, if you excuse me, my morning cup-o-joe awaits...
