Random Five, December 4th

Random Five Friday

1. Yesterday I was driving home and the traffic on the bridge over the South Fork was not moving. When the green arrow came on, only one vehicle made the turn. Perhaps it was due to the construction there, but I couldn't tell from where I sat. I could see a fine sunset, though, so I took out my point-and-shoot and took a picture.

2. Before we threw out the variegated corn that Frank tied to our mailbox post, I took a picture to show you where some critter had nibbled on it. Apparently he was short because he only ate the lower kernels. I'm guessing it was a skunk; we've seen one wandering the streets at night! A raccoon would have climbed up and eaten the whole thing.

3. I scanned a few photos from 1985. That's me on the TV screen, but you could only see me from the back, I'm afraid. I was helping with a "dig" at the old Apothecary Shop in Alexandria. They taped me carrying a bucket from the building to a screen where we separated artifacts from dirt.

On the right is a picture I took of a fellow volunteer and the City Archaeologist, Pam Cressey.

4. Here's another photo from my 1985 album. It shows Lynn and her friend Joel. They went to high school together and are still pals, although they live 3 hours apart. Once in a while they meet and go to a rock concert. (I posted a 2012 photo of them here.)

5. Mersad has posted Flickering Lights as the topic for this week's My Town Shootout. I'm showing two images for this linkup. The first is blurry but I like the archway of mini-lights.

The last photo is about lights too. I took it last Christmas and twirled the camera around for fun. You don't have to do this wildly if you are close up!
