2006 Lighthouse Calendar

Exciting news, friends! Shinn Photo has officially published our first calendar. It’s a compilation of four different lighthouses I visited in New England, presented in black and white. Some of the lighthouses were shot with film, and some with digital technology. Anbody care to take a guess at which are which? You can see (and buy) the calendar by clicking on the title of this post or by going to www.lulu.com/content/154719. With the end of the year fast approaching, new calendars are just what we all need! They also make great Christmas gifts, for those of us who aren’t like my wife (who is almost finished with this year’s Christmas shopping, bless her!).

Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Excited,

Ode to the Walmart!


I went to the Walmart today to buy some school supplies as I prepare for the possibility of having a teaching position for the fall. It turned out to be a successful trip!

I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when the cashier rang up the crayon packs. I purchased 10 packs of Rose Art 24 count crayons. You know, just the normal packages. They were $0.09 each. What a deal or should I say steal! 🙂 It’s like they’re giving them away! Needless to say, I went away a happy customer.

I just had to share!

Rumor has it…

That Starbucks is coming to Reedley in August of 2005!
Shouts of “Yahoo!” “Hooray!” & “Finally!” can be heard from all over the town by Starbucks connoisseurs. Some in the town aren’t so happy about the worldwide company moving into the SMALL town of Reedley because of the potentially negative effect on local coffee shops. (Isn’t that always the response of small towns to big business?) To my knowledge, there are only a few ‘mom and pop’ coffee shops in town some of which are only open a few hours per day. I don’t know if these will really see a negative impact because of Starbucks. Time will tell. The market may shift, but we smalltowners will have Starbucks at our fingertips!Here’s just one more reason to look forward to August!
