I Scream, You Scream....

We all scream for ice cream. I saw this ice cream truck outside my house this evening. I haven't seen one of these for years, but it sure did bring back good memories.

Hello Operator?

We ran across this sign at Beckley ARH Hospital about a month ago.

Karen Leigh

A few shots of the stern wheeler Karen Leigh that sunk in the Kanawha River near Haddad River Front Park this past Saturday. It took several tries until the cranes were able to successfully raise it.

Alligator Farm #3

My wife thought this albino american alligator looked like white chocolate, but I really don't think she would want a bite of this guy. He looks pretty small in the picture, but is really about 10 feet long in person.

Freddy Krueger

Freddy Krueger (Nightmare of Elm Street) was one of the many characters we had the opportunity to see at the Potter's Wax Museum in St. Augustine, Fl.

Fort Bragg E-31

We followed a tractor trailer truck hauling a fire engine on our way back from Florida. Since it was time to fuel up anyways, we pulled into the same truck stop so I could take a few photos. The engine was E-31 from the Fort Bragg (Army) Fire Department in Fort Bragg, NC. The truck was enroute back to Fort Bragg from getting refurbished at the Emergency One (E-One) plant in Ocala, FL.
