More Lost Dogs?

I guess it is to be expected when you find them boozing it up at the local pub.

Revolving Door minus the Revolving Bits

For weeks I passed this door on my commute, its revolving parts having been removed for repair, and the open doorway blocked for... um... safety?
Because that open doorway is... dangerous?
Anyone else a fan of the late Mitch Hedberg?

Labor Day Weekend Wedding

A first for me - I attended a very traditional/religious Jewish wedding the last Sunday in August.

It was such a beautiful ceremony and also fascinating for little ol' Southern Protestant me.

That's actually a really beautiful bouquet and a pretty little pat of (non-dairy) butter.
(The wedding was Kosher, and was thus non-dairy.)
It was quite dark in the hall, clearly.

I loved these table arrangements... and the lighting... Didn't realize I'd taken shot at Lucky 13.
