Just Passin Through

Apologies to all for being a little late with this one. Lovely wife-o-mine met this handsoem chap at the big name coffee shop near our house. He's a current Pittsburgher, unlike me who's an ex-patriate, and was simply visiting friends.

GO PENS!

Montgomery Mall, MD 1

Had successfully dodged Holiday shopping, but had a return to make. Mall was busier than I expected, but I found a space. What you can't see in this picture is the Steeler helmut in the upper left section of the window and the penguins sticker in the lower left section of the window. Oh yeah, while leaving the mall later (read below) I met this car's owner.

Retail Clues

It might seem lame to feature merchandise in a mall, but take a close look at this pic and consider this. The sales guy told me only the slow moving shirts get the yellow sales tags. Note that, here in sunny Maryland, none of the Black and Gold jerseys are marked down!

Montgomery Mall, MD 2

So, I'm finally leaving the mall and I meet this gentleman. At first he's a little shy, but let's me take his picture. When I give my blog address card, he perks up and tells me where to find his car...the one with FL plates you've seen above.

Flags Over 95

Here I am, minding my own business, driving home down Interstate RT 95 between Baltimore and Washington early on the day after Christmas and what to my wondering eyes does appear? 2 great flowing Steeler flags on a black suv! I'm not saying I put any other drivers in danger trying to get these shots, but let's just say I'm glad there weren't any cops around!

Aspen Hill, MD - Classic Black on Black

Daughter dearest's friend Emily made this sight while they were out doing...whatever college girls do on break! Dani then "phoned it in", taking a phone pic and mms-ing it to me. I love technology.

95 South between Baltimore and DC

Wife Vicki jokes that she risked her life for this shot. If you've ever driven south on 95 in rush hour, you'd understand. Displaying the popular SUV tire logo, this one resembles an earlier catch made in our friend Magic's neighborhood.
