Numerous Photos Of The Sun Trying To Burn Through The Fog
I was taking a break on a pedestrian bridge over the Salt Creek, and noticed a faint white disc through the fog — the sun!
The fog was ever so slowly lifting, so I decided to take a whole bunch of pictures as the sun was getting brighter and brighter.
Enjoy! (or don’t!)

Fog, Yellow Field, Etc.
Since getting my bike back from the shop a few weeks ago, I have made a point to ride the Salt Creek trail on the weekends, on both days if my schedule will allow it.
I was able to go on both September 12th and 13th.
It was quite foggy on both Saturday and Sunday (I rode in the morning), and I took my camera with me.
So… PICTURES FOR YOU. Click any pic for a larger version.
From the second day:
A park near my house.
Just another fucking foggy day (excuse my French!).
Some nice dilapidated woods (if woods can be dilapidated) along the Salt Creek Trail.
A section of trail just north of 31st Street. Don’t pretend you don’t know the section of trail I am talking about.
This place is generally the end of my bike ride — a nice pedestrian bridge that crosses the Salt Creek.
As I was riding I could feel the moisture condensing on me. My arm hairs were covered in little droplets. Here’s a picture of some berries that were drippin’ with delicious fog.
From the first day:
I rode over to the prairie documented here on my first day of biking, and saw that the lovely prairie had become even lovelier with the bloom of hundreds of yellow flowers:
Caught a shot of some ducks flying overhead.
And got another shot of them flying off into the fog.

ASK A BLOG POST, WHY DON’T YOU?
Put your question(s) in the comments, and the blog post shall answer.
Rose asks:
Aside from punishment to humankind, why are there mosquitoes?
A: To provide human beings with a philosophical discussion as an icebreaker in bars.
okjimm asks:
What wood would Tiger Woods chuck if Tiger Woods chucked his woods?
A: 2, and please don’t talk about chucking woods. This is a family blog.
Doc asks:
What is a Brazilian wax and why would someone want to smear wax on a Brazilian? Why not a Panamanian? Or a Cuban?
A: Brazilian wax is sought after by many discerning record collectors (preferably 180 gram vinyl). You should never smear the wax, but store it in plastic sleeves in a temperature-controlled room with average humidity.
Doc asks:
Can you name two paradoxes?
A: The fact that doxes only come in pairs is itself a paradox, and when this is sentence is multipled by two (as it must be to satisfy the definition of paradox’s criteria) creates two paradoxes. It is impossible to name anything less than two paradoxes.
Doc asks:
Why is a “panhandler” a bum or hobo and not a chef or a dishwasher?
A: Doesn’t everyone know this already? “Panhandlers” are the people that handle your food and dish-cleaning. Chefs and dishwashers serve in strictly supervisory positions. It is the panhandlers that are the grimy core of the culinary arts.
Doc asks:
What are the three worst cliche’s?
A: For this, look no further than the films of Joel Schumacher.
Doc asks:
How do you handle a hungry man?
A: Get a Panhandler (see above)
Doc asks:
I suffer from erectile dysfunction, meaning I have trouble getting up in the morning. Any suggestions?
A: Nope, no suggestions here. Good luck with that.
Doc asks:
Name three of your favorite wastes of time besides blogging.
A: 1) Drawing mustaches on Kate Bush pictures 2) Removing mustaches from Adolph Hitler pictures 3) Writing fan fiction about Kate Bush destroying the Nazis with the power of her music (I’m calling it Vainglorious Bushterds)
Doc asks:
Would George Washington have used a wire brush to clean his wooden teeth?
A: Nope. Ivory. Would we expect any less from our first president?
Doc asks:
Say I won the lottery. What would be the best way to blow the money? Beer and hookers or the stock market?
A: I don’t understand the question. I thought the stock market was underpinned by hookers and beer.
Doc asks:
Sorry. I was just riffing there for a moment.
A: This is not a question.
Randal Graves:
How does one riff like Doc without a guitar?
A: Typing quickly and repeatedly hitting the “Submit” button is a good start.
Jin:
Haahaa!!! Bravo gentlemen. No topping all that so I’ll just await the answers.
😉
A: Will you await the answers? (yes, you will). Note that I have inserted a question for you and answered it.
Nathan:
I know why the chicken crossed the road, but why did he cross back again after that?
A: You have to provide more information. There are lots of chickens crossing the road, with their own peculiar reasons. I can’t give you any info until I am sure we are speaking of the same chicken.
Freida Bee:
Why are we here?
A: Hm, didn’t another blog post address this existential question? This blog post does not do other blog post’s questions.
Name That Face, Round 3: Name That Face With A Vengeance
*****************************
UPDATE: Bumped to the top, because why the hell not?
*****************************
Round 3 of Name That Face is underway!
Once again, the idea of the game — your goal is to be the first to identify the face in the photo. Sometimes there will be bonus points given for additional information.
To play this game, just start following Name That Face on the Twitter (you’ll of course have to get a Twitter account).
I’ll keep a running tally of everyone’s scores, and store it on this post.
Here is the first picture of Round 3:
I am giving an extra point if you tell me what movie this still is from.
Remember, don’t name the face here. Name it in a reply to my NameThatFace account on the Twitter.
RUNNING TALLY:
ROUND 3 HAS ENDED.
