Fall in Eugene

The sky is gray and it rains often but the trees are like christmas lights accenting the landscape.

whoosh

Fall Colors!

lost on spencer's butte: round 2

If you're going up spencer's butte for sunset, bring a real flashlight for the way back. Using a cell phone to light your way is inadequate.

Why did the chicken turkey cross the road?

Take this iPhone camera!
No blur in action shots.  Brighter colors.  And it takes the picture right when you click the button ;-)

spell check

When spell check turns your attempt at dedicated into decimated you better hope you're proof reading. Nobody wants to pay several hundred dollars a month for "decimated server".

shiney and clean with a halo

I wanted to get a pic of the two Lotus' together but we went for a drive and then I had to get to jiu-jitsu right away so I guess I'll have to wait for another day.

double vision

There are TWO storm titanium Lotus' in my driveway right now.

I immediately wanted to take a picture of the cars together but I'm exercising patience and I'm going to wait until mine is clean.

From the back I look like a 15 yr old... named Naomi

I was in the self checkout at Albertsons trying to remember which type of Tomatoes I'd picked out when the guy behind peers his head around the side so he can see my face. Apparently he thought I might be his 15 yr old daughter, who should be at her mothers house, not out right now.

He said I had the same jacket, shoes, jeans and haircut! I cross examined on the shoes and he conceded that they may have just been similar.

I'm a little distressed. Maybe I need to find a new wardrobe.

suicidal deer

Want to see suicidal deer? Try Fox Hollow between Lorane and McBeth. They were all over the place tonight and several of them tried playing chicken with the car.

I braked for these two that were standing in the middle of the road and the both took off running. The one went into the brush and the other took off straight down the road, zig-zagging from one lane to the other before finally bounding off into the dark.

Seriously, why do they run in FRONT of the car... repeatedly? They're nuts!

glowing yellow

The trees on Lorane Hwy are glowing yellow right now. If you've not been out there lately I'd highly recommend it. Especially when the sun is out. The light is reflecting brilliantly off the leaves.

All you have to do is act dumb. Congratulations.

check your mirrors

Please people, check your mirrors before you merge into the lane beside you. In fact you might even want to turn your head and look! Apparently a novel idea for some drivers.

In the last two months I've seen TWO different cars merge into BUSES! You can't blame missing a bus on your blind spot. Buses are LONG. If you look before you veer into the other lane, you WILL see them coming.

Both times I've seen this it's been the exact same scenario: The bus pulls into the left turn lane and then the offending vehicle, when the bus is almost half way past it, tries to merge into the left lane - WHERE the bus is.

What are these people doing?  Are they just zoning or are they distracted by something?
