Don’t worry, it is still the same thing that it was before, I just dipped it in some water.

Oh come on, Arthur, more pictures of wet spider webs, seriously???… part 1…

a 1

Yes, it was a foggy, misty morning here in San Diego, and the orb web-spinning garden spiders are getting bigger, so I took some photos.

a 2

Once again, nature let me down with the dew/mist factor, so I broke out my little spray/mister bottle…

a 3

And I annoyed the heck out of the spiders… again…

a 4

They were not happy with me.

a 5

Not happy at all.

a 6

And I am getting better at this.

a 7

It is all about the angle.

a 8

And, of course, the fake dew.

a 9

I sprayed one funnel web, just for old time’s sake.

a 10

They don’t always work. It is hard to focus on a thin spider web.

a 11

But perseverance… and some extra moisture… really help.

a 12

Most of the time.

Don’t worry, I have plenty more of these, to mix in with my weird light photo series. YAY!

Tripping the light fantastic… wait, what the heck is that?… part 6…

a 1

Well, obviously, that is another version of that same thing from the last post in this series, but not the first posts in this series, which were all versions of some other thing.

a 2

So, what I am telling you is that that up there is really the same thing as the thing above it, as is the next thing coming up below this…

a 3

And the one below this…

a 4

And this…

a 5

And even this…

a 6

And, to top it all off, the pictures in the next few posts in this series will be even more versions of that same thing right there, until they aren’t, in which case they will begin to be versions of something else. Got it?

Oh, I will tell you what that is…

a 2

And that…

a 3

And that…

a 4

And even that. They are all versions of the same thing. I will tell you what they are… just not in this post.

Seriously, why would you trust this guy to do any important job???… the final chapter… I hope…

I should feel bad about this one, but I am too busy laughing.

Short attention span and self-absorption, not a good combination in any job.

Sorry, I hope you manage to get that image out of your head someday. But this might get worse if the crack squirrels living in my head decide to go off the rails… again…

Don’t worry, I am not turning this into a hipster food blog… but we did go out for a nice meal the other day…

a 1

If you look past the large, scary man… (no, he isn’t scary, that’s our friend, Big Johnny, who has known my wife since high school, and me for a lot of years, and is called ‘Big’ because I am 6 feet 4 inches tall, and he makes me look regular sized)… you will see a doorway.

a 2

There is Big Johnny, with his wife, Eva, and his son, Willie, who also happens to be my godson. We ate at a Vegan restaurant, which I am amused to tell you was actually awesome.

a 3

Yeah, I’m not lost…

a 4

Anyway, this Kindred place had awesome food, and a skull theme.

a 5

I had a large adult beverage… with a spaceman in it…

a 6

Which led me to the men’s room, where you have to use a urinal while heavy metal music assaults you, and this guy watches you pee.

a 7

But, after passing the four-eyed, flower-haired, skull-topped, ram-horned devil on the way to the restroom, that felt like a relaxing place to be.

a 8

There I am, outside, doing the selfie thing, wearing my best dress-tie-dye. It was a cute little neighborhood not too far from downtown San Diego. I can’t tell you how many cute babies and little kids and dogs I met. But it was a lot.

a 9

So yeah, the food was awesome. I am not showing you photos of the food. This isn’t going to be a food blog.

a 10

And I will show you the huge alcohol-filled punch bowl that Eva got for us. Did I mention it was like ten in the morning? And I had to go to work later?

a 11

So, I got a little hammered.

a 12

Which might explain the selfie and this picture of a plane coming in to land.
