You never who you’ll see in Yellow Springs

It’s funny who you see when you visit a small town in Southern Ohio. Jules and I went down to Yellow Springs Ohio on Friday for a yoga workshop that she wanted to attend.  Jules has been there four or five times before and never seen one of the most famous residents of this small town.  It was my first visit.  Jules went to a morning class on her own while I sat in a coffee shop writing.  After about  45 minutes I looked up and noticed this gentleman standing there.  I grabbed my camera and snapped a few pics but decided not to bother him further.  You may recall seeing him previously on his former show on Comedy Central.  Dave’s father was a professor at Antioch College in Yellow Springs.

Bathing birds

As I was out working in the yard this weekend I filled the two bird baths and guess what? That’s right the birds started bathing.  As I sat on the deck this afternoon looking for subjects to write about on ABG, camera at my side the birds started to arrive.  Most of them just stood on the side and had a drink, but a big fat robin got in and started splashing around.

Here’s what I’ve been driving this week. It’s an Audi R8 and boy is it fun most of the time!  Unfortunately this particular example is fitted with semi automatic transmission that seems to try it’s hardest to make the driver look like someone who can’t drive a stick.  The car itself is drop dead gorgeous and fast when the gearbox cooperates.
