📷 Met Leslie this morning and discovered we'd attended the same HS in Springfield, VA in the early 70s. A delightful conversation.
I'm thankful to Leslie for allowing me to photograph her. She was reluctant. I think she's beautiful and told her so. ❤️
📷 Stopped by the Circle K this afternoon to say goodbye to "Lil'" Kim.
There are two Kim's on staff, and co-workers nicknamed them "Big Kim" and "Lil' Kim." She's a self-described "Old Hillbilly hippie daughter of a preacher!"
I love making her laugh. "Eddie! You're crazy! ❤️

Today's my Beigeversary, y'all! One year and a mere 39,000 posts ago, I found my forever home in the Fediverse.
Big love to all my fellow not-a-cult "Party-Goers" and our Dear Lead—erm—Beige.Party Admin, Kris @theropologist ❤️

📹 #HurricaneHelene | One year ago tonight, in the early hours of September 27th, I drove to the Circle K to gas-up the Fiat and buy batteries, bottled water and ice. We lost power about 3 AM.
The damage here in the Upcountry of SC was minor compared to the devastation in Western NC, but the thunder and lightning, rain and high winds were frightening. How bad would it get?

1/3 ANGUS had a queue of admirers when I spotted him on a bench near the train depot. Humans Ava and Ted of Durham NC were gracious, and obviously proud of their two year-old English Bulldog.
When the dust cleared, I approached: "May I take a picture of your dog for my blog?" Beaming, both: "Sureofcourse!" ❤️

🍎 It's apple season in Western NC!
Katt, the cashier at Ingle's saw I was buying a half-dozen Honeycrisps and asked if I was making a pie.
"Hadn't thought about it, why?"
Katt reached under her register and pulled out a spiral notebook.
"I made one of these last weekend, and I'm telling everyone I know!
