Over the summer I stayed in a college dorm during a conference. My husband and I quickly moved our mattresses to the floor, because the beds were so awful (it's amazing what college kids--and what I years ago--considered awesome accommodations). We uncovered this outlet while rearranging the furniture. These outlets reduce electrical noise, especially in … Continue reading Spooky Shot: Isolated Ground

Spooky Shot: The Green Light
My favorite book is The Great Gastby, end of discussion.

While Ruth and I were out for lunch, we saw this alley, and Ruth put her photographic skills to work. On the bottom left, in addition to the typical liquor accoutrements, there are about a dozen eggs, some broken, some whole. Not just any eggs, but brown eggs. You know, the fancy kind you get … Continue reading Guest Spooky Shot: Creepy Alley
