yesterday once more

this "yesterday" photo was many yesterdays and a few years ago.  it was taken somewhere on the way to Cape May on the New Jersey shore from Philadelphia. back when gas was cheaper, i would rent a car and go for long drives in and around the Philadelphia area in between "trips".  and when was gas cheap? i found it while looking thru some old photos for a different "yesterday" photo for an old friend.

ok, back to my workbook.  tomorrow i will fly to Charlotte, North Carolina for my yearly one-day training on thursday.  if all goes well, i will fly back home on thursday night.  and then it's back to the gym, walks, beach, looking for live music, sanshin practice, and organizing.

the "yesterday" photos i was looking for... 恋愛写真

time for bed.  and why does this song remind me of my first visit to Amsterdam? well, not this version but the real Andre Bocelli/Sarah Brightman version.  and keeping with the all things connected theme, i bought Tracy and Ryan (photos above) a "tickle me Elmo"  back in 1996.

Redondo Roundabout

not sure when my area got it's first roundabout but i can tell you when i first noticed and walked around the roundabout...today.  and why did i walk around the roundabout?  to take photos and videos, of course (and because i don't have a car)(but when i do have access to one, i will be sure to try out the roundabout). it was another cloudy day at the beach.  normally you could see the ocean from this view but not today.  it was a little cool today on my walk to the beach.  perhaps, that was because i was in shorts and a t-shirt.

this sign may be a bit confusing as it doesn't really apply to the roundabout . . .  but basically yield and stay right.  i am sure it will be interesting to watch in the summer when there are more cars and people enjoying this road by the sea.

no cars, bicyclists, pedestrians, seagulls, dogs or squirrels were harmed in the making of this wee short film
