Hello.

To those of you that aren't privy to the reoccuring theme here at mindsquirt, I have a habit of snapping pictures with my camaraphone, and then dumping them on this blog for all to enjoy.

Here goes:

Here is an assortment of the stuff we put on our lips in the our household. I kept on buying more because I thought we were out. Really what was happening is that my wife was putting it all in a drawer and not telling me about it. (aka"hiding it from me")

anyway I found it one day and I was pretty surprised.

there are 16 kinds of chapstick there:





We saw this boat-themed minivan at a Truck stop in Seymore, Indiana.




Here is a picture of my daughter about 1 year ago intentionally trying to hurt me by pressing on my eardrums. It hurt, and you can see me grimacing in pain. If you pretend i am smiling, it just looks like we really love each other.


Here is Alex laying down to admire this bug. I thought it was a nice picture.



Here is a picture of a sweet entertainment center I bought from the seconds at the furniture factory close to my work. I got a sweet deal on this baby. It doesn't look impressive but it is frickin' awesome. I got it for probably 10% of retail.




Here is a man dressed like papa smurf at the backside at Churchill Downs on Derby Day.


Here is a lead-horse from the backside at CD.




Here is a coloring-book page that Alex entered in a contest at the local pizza resturant. She colored it while we were waiting for our food. The whole time she colored it, she would brag about how she was going to win the contest, and she would recieve her prize shortly. The entire time, we had to bring her back to reality by telling her that she may not win, and there are many kids in the contest, etc...


Here is her recieving her prize a week later after winning the contest. The gigantic easter basket is on the left.


Here is a Golf cart turning left onto the highway where the speedlimit is 55 mph.



Here is some marketing mumbo-jumbo by the checkout line in the pharmacy I go to. I think the drug was a cholesterol-lowering drug. I was amused how this poster dumbed-down the concept that fatty foods change your cholesterol by actually putting the fatty food in your bloodstream. I am hoping that some people will walk away from that poster and actually think that tiny versions of food are running through our veins.



Here is Alex playing Doctor with classmate. I thought this was pretty cute as well.



This ends my latest picture dump.

Thank you for your time.
