I guess this addresses a longstanding tradition of bored husbands wandering through cutsie boutiques and ladies wear departments.
There were a few takers. (No, DH is not among them.)
Seen in Palm Springs, California earlier this year.

Angels in America
The phrase “better angels” came to mind recently. It was a term used by Abraham Lincoln in his first inaugural address. Speaking of the U.S. Civil War pitting the country against itself, he said, in part: “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies.” He ended saying that we surely would again be touched “by the better angels of our nature.”
I’d like to think that today, in broader terms, we need not turn friends into enemies, nor lose our humanity in pursuit of political goals. We can learn much from history, not to mention critical thinking.
Calling all better angels.
Guilty pleasure
A place named Extraordinary Desserts was within close walking distance of our lodgings in San Diego a while back. Its name was on a Google map. As a diligent travel researcher I felt it my responsibility to check it out. If there’s such a thing as food porn, this is it. Click the link above. It’s as good as it looks.
Mailbox personality
When I see interesting mailboxes like this one I find myself thinking how very boring and ordinary mine is. Though I can’t say that I long for one that looks like a tractor.
Fence detail
For any number of reasons I haven’t been out taking pictures lately. This is one I took on our trip to the Skagit Valley earlier this year.
Jus’ Chillin’
I like ice cream shops on general principle. This one in Palm Springs was just plain retro cute.
California cool
We flew out of Palm Springs when we came home from our California trip last month. I met this fellow on the street and had to take a photo of his cool ride. Did I think to ask him what it was? Of course not!
