Danny and Josie tied the knot today in Muncie, Ind. They both looked great, her dress, his white vest/tie combo. And they sure can dance!!!

Scuba clean up at Redondo

I dropped my dad off at the airport and on the way back, I stopped by Redondo to check out the scuba divers and may, just maybe, be a photog again. As it turns out there was a clean up going on. Removing old fishing lines, squid jigs and other fishing debris. As it turns out, among the debris was an octopus in a pepsi can, a crab caught in a tangle of fishing lines and a handgun. Yeah, a HANDGUN. Rusted but obviously a 9mm or .45 semi-auto.

Good bye Katie.

Bellingham Herald intern Katie Barnes is leaving us after a half year here in B'ham. And frankly, it bites. She's fun, talented and a bit quirky. (she showed up at a get together at my home wearing a flowing transparent dress over her jeans) She's plays the piano very well, shoots very well and has done a hell of a job of making a website for me. Thanks Katie! So we'll get together tonight, toast her, and bemoan the fact that our world got a little less interesting without her around. Bummer.

No man is an island but Katie could be..

Went sailing with the Bellingham Herald intern Katie Barnes on Sunday aboard Photo Editor Russ Kendall's sailboat. We sailed to the correctly named Barnes Island. While the island is private and off limits. We moored up to Clark Island, within throwing distance of Barnes. Later Katie get to sail the boat as it heeled over and we cruise at just around 4 knots.

Bear hats, hula and a pillory

A recent walk around Fairhaven gave me these two things. The first, two women hula hooping wearing bear hats. Left is Ms B Hooping Allure, aka, Jamie Berg and her friend Jackie. The second, a plaque stating that there had been a pillory stand at that location. Makes me want to bring back the pillory stands just to have a reason to toss rotten tomatoes.
