Main Street Fashion

Just a few random street shots from a while back. From Main Street in Ellicott City. I haven’t done any shooting today and I’m worn out from a 3 1/2-year-old. Yeah, I hate to admit that but, it’s a lot of lifting, being ridden like a horse, being made helper to his FORMAN of the construction site.

My grandson had seen a YouTube video if I can recall correctly something called Handyman Hal. Anyway, we watched one day it was him using a post hole digger. Well, you know who saw one in my shed this morning and had to dig a post hole. So, I showed him the technique and found a pole to put in the ground for him. Showed him how to check depth, and tips digging.

I also showed him how to use a vice which was in my workroom holding a piece of wood I was carving and of course I got the “What’s That Papa” so I showed him how it works and of course safety in using any tool.

Since I titled the post with the word fashion, here are a few thoughts of mine. I’ve never been into colorful fashion, but I have added some brighter pieces and colors I hadn’t worn before to the limited wardrobe. My better half would probably trash half of it or more if I gave the okay.

I’m not much of the suit and tie type guy but I hear I clean up nicely. I love casual wear, but I do need a little better styling and color.

I’m getting more into footwear lately also. One for comfort and one for ease. And slip-ons are easy and save the back. Comfort I’m still looking for being the feet are showing advanced wear and tear.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • This is the start of the 2 months that Mother Nature turns my red car orange.
  • Hegseth is so overcompensating for something it’s pitiful.
  • It’s so easy to get tired of pain. Unless it comes from multiple spots at once and then I get angry.
  • I’m not sure who will sleep better tonight, my grandson or me.
  • And yes, this poll finds Trump to still be the most disgusting human being on earth.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
