Having Service Outdoors?

I saw this book lying under a bench.  For whatever reason, the first thing I thought of was a Bible.  Perhaps some people are having service outside in a park?  That would definitely be my preferred location...that or the middle of the woods I suppose...

Ode To Irene

Disclaimer: My wife and I are very lucky to have been in an area that was not hit terribly hard by Irene.  Don't get me wrong, just driving around you will come across some wreckage...and last I heard there was at least one death related to the hurricane in our area...but really, it was just a bad storm that created significant flooding in our area.

So I shall do something slightly different today...I'm going to let Neil Young take control of this post...let his song loop in your head as you check out the interesting side of nature's awesome power.

"Like A Hurricane"

Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.

I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.

You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away. 

Green Dragon

I was going to post a time lapse video of the sun rising at the Green Dragon (our local flea market).  The file was too bid and I don't have time to figure out how to compress it...this was my first attempt at a time lapse video.  I'm heading out for a canoe trip, so I will have to use the other pictures I got from the Green Dragon this morning.

Sir

While shooting my video, a guy on a bike rode up.  It was this guy, a good friend of mine.  He was biking back from work.

Bench

I told him we should get breakfast at the Green Dragon (it was 6 in the morning).  He agreed.  On our way to food we passed this.

This is where we ate.  It was good food.
