I dropped my friend off at Accurate Autoworks on Hill Street (she loves these guys) and took a "U" through the garage. I took this picture through the windshield, which apparently I need to clean before I do any more behind-the-wheel photography.

Across Hill Street is the empty lot of what used to be Pasadena Ford. Nothing much has changed there in the last three years.

In a spark of creative genius driven by a low budget, John decides to save production costs on "Strong Love" by using the mower as film reel. Petrea is recruited as PA (production assistant, not Pasadena Adjacent of course). 

Frank Zgonc
No harmful CO2 emission unless the operator ate beans the day before ;)

Clifford Beshers
My! What big reels you have, Grandma!


You have until midnight tonight to vote. I'll announce the winners tomorrow. Probably not first thing, I doubt I'll stay up 'til midnight.

Zen Monday: #45

Zen Monday is the day you experience the photo and give us your thoughts rather than me telling you what the photo's about.

As I post each new Zen photo, I'll add a label to last week's to identify it if necessary (and if I know what it is).

Service Welcome Service

This could almost be a Zen Monday shot. I don't have much to say about it. Maybe that's because I'm tired. You know how long a day can get.

I like the picture, though. It doesn't have to be about hard times, a failed business. It could be about the future when the chaos we're going through is behind us and we don't need cars anymore because we're all wearing non-polluting jet-packs for transportation.

Because it's just change. We will get through it. And when it's behind us, things will look very different.

Or maybe it's just been a long day.
