Poking It With a Stick

Saw this on the way to work one day. I have no idea what this guy is doing. All I know is that he was poking that stick into that hole.

Olmos Tower

I've always liked the look of this building. It's got a sweet location, overlooking Incarnate Word and Trinity if I'm not mistaken. I like it's color. I looked it up one time and the rents are a bit steep for me. I think they are condos or some such.

Now That's What I Call Service

Saw this sight on McCullough street one morning. I almost missed it too, but my sister pointed it out. This is the sister who's always on my case about taking photos and such, but still every once in a while she assists in my endeavor to take a pic of all the San Antonio minutia. I'm not sure if this was a garage worker or just someone working on their own car, but it gave me a welcome laugh so early in the morning.

Hardware Signs

These old signs are on a stretch of McCullough that runs through Olmos Park. This is one place that you don't want to be caught speeding or breaking any other kind of law. If you continue along this street you'll run into the traffic round or whatever they call it. It seems a bit confusing to me, but I guess it works for some people, since they are putting another one on Blanco close to Hildebrand I think.

RE YY?

On the way to drop off the kids today we passed by this usual air walk I'll call it. It's in between the Incarnate Word High School and College campuses. I had never noticed letters on it before. I have no idea what the RE and YY stand for. We usually see students going one way or the other on it, usually its some joggers, sometimes its a gaggle of girls in their catholic school skirts.

Convenient Advertising

We stop by this convenience store every once in a while when we've run out of snacks or drinks for the kiddos at home and need something quick for school. Today I noticed all the neon signs. I don't know why I didn't notice it before, except for maybe we park in different areas where they aren't visible. Of course of the five visible neon signs, four of them are for beer. :D

Painted Pony

Now that my nephew has gone back to his original school we pass this shop everyday. I'm not quite sure what they sell, but I like the stony look and the name. This kind of stone work always reminds me of fairytale cottages. This one happens to be in Olmos Park, so we always make sure we abide by all traffic laws, although of course we always do. *wink* *wink* One of these I will stop and go inside and see what's up, maybe get a picture or too, if I'm allowed. Have you all noticed how more and more places are banning camera's and such. A year or two ago a subset of the Knit Nite gang went to Austin and one of the cute little stores that sells Anime/Manga stuff had a sign posted that no photographs were allowed, of course by the time the sign was pointed out to me by one of the other people I was with, I had already taken a picture. In closing I'd like to give a shout out to the birthday boy, 3rd nephew of mine. :D
