Nothing better than watching a baseball game on a summer evening, even if it's watching the Pirates lose to Cleveland.

This thread is mocking me. *puts on another jumper and huddles next to the heater*

Summer means a trip to the track. The youth corruption is a bonus.

A spot in Chiba where I sometimes go in the summer...that's the Pacific.

Oh man, I miss that beard.

Me too, man! Let it rock again!

I love that picture Jose Famoso. I just KNEW Tennessee Sam was a beard. But for whom. . .

posted by rainbaby 26 June | 09:34

That took me three months to grow. I need work before then, and nobody will hire me with a half-grown beard. Even homeless guys said shit like, "You look like a mountain man... you just came off a mountain!"

posted by Hugh Janus 26 June | 09:34

Tennessee Sam is one of the coolest guys I've ever met, and I miss him.

posted by Hugh Janus 26 June | 09:36

Yup! Like Johnny Mac says, "He's a piece o' work!...in a good way!" LOL.

Ms Banana's got some nice stems.

Hey Joe, it's GREAT that you are back here! How are things?

posted by danf 26 June | 10:11

Things are just going, I guess. Still just glad to be alive to tell you the truth. Feel me?

This is what it looks like when you really go out hiking, you hear me SC Gov?

after looking at all your guy's pics over the last few weeks, i'm beginning to become inspired to pick up the camera again . I used to take a lot of pics and post them on the galleries page on my site . I didnt mean to fall out of doing it. life just kinda got in the way .

Summer has more flowers on the coast (and there are more surfers in the water):

and also means that the adult soapbox derby down an extinct volcano is happening soon!

I'm realizing I don't seem to take a lot pictures representing summer, so I am going to do my best to remedy that in the next few weeks.

Yay rhapsodie's iPhone!

Great pics, everyone!

Well, except for rhapsodie's middle one which makes me uncomfortably want to cross my legs.

The view of Loon Lake from my grandparents' house. I spent many a summer in an inner tube off that dock.

Summer in Vieques, PR. Off season, nobody there except locals.

dano: that, my dear, is a reindeer sausage. Some carmelized onions and some ketchup makes for a perfect lunch.

My work doesn't block MeCha but it does block all the image websites so I can read the descriptions here but I can't actually view the pretty pictures.

Octothorpe, for your benefit, my photo was of me riding an orca through a perfect surge of ocean spray, each crystalline droplet of water containing a fractal rainbow. Naked.

Hey Signor Famoso! I think I took that picture... Musketeers of the West Village. I miss us all hangin' out... I just showed jon the pic on the porch. (And congrats on the upcoming nuptuals, by the way... I didn't know one could marry a harem ; )

Luvs ya.
