POW 3-7-2012
For those of you that follow or happen across this blog, please know I do an email distribution of odd, funny, peculiar, and sometimes cool photos discovered throughout any given week. Most of the photos are of signs, or drive-by and/or while-driving observations. Now please understand, I’m not always regular (probably a poor choice of word there) with my POW (Pictures Of the Week) emails. I’ll try to be more consistent, and by posting here we’ll see if that so moves me to be better about my regularity.
These photos are different (at least up to this point in time) than ”The Daily Cap” series. And for those of you already on the email list that also read my blog, you get POW’d twice….
1/28/2012: Carrollton, Texas
I’m not sure whether the wind blew away the rest of the signs, or if this is it…”as” if this will make be stop and shop cars, right?
POW 10-10-2011
9/26/2011: Hwy. 121 southbound through Grapevine, North Richland Hills, and Hurst Texas (yes, I was tailing him for about 5 miles for the photo)
Of all the million cars in DFW on any given weekday morning commute, what are the odds I get passed by the truck I used to own?
POW 6-21-2011
Pictures of the Week….
9/22/2010: Austin, Texas
Is this called "tooling on down the road?"
POW: 6-3-2011
Pictures for the Week
4/9/2011: at a stop light somewhere (maybe it was Grapevine)
I must admit it does bother me some that a preachy window sticker like this one is prominently displayed in the back window of this guy’s car. Maybe it was a disgruntled mood moment for me: we were both at a standstill in our cars during rush hour traffic that was going nowhere when I saw this….
POW 3-23-2011
Pictures of the Week, from my collection:
3/5/2011: Lake Dallas, Texas
this would be a tough bid to decline
POW 2-25-2011
All is well – I did not run out of pictures…only time
1/14/2011: in Dallas, near Highland Park
There had to be an ordinance that said “all water meters to be installed in grassed areas”, otherwise why bother?
POW 1-27-2011
1/4/2011 Lake Dallas Texas
Ya think he’s had his mailbox run over or baseball-batted a time or two? Read More…
POW 1/4/2011
I hope everyone had wonderful holidays with family and friends. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
12/17/2010: Tim’s backyard
Meet Madam Santa Mackie, the Queen of Scots – she’s really exercising a great deal of patience and tolerance of my “you’re so clever” photography right now
POW 12-7-2010
11/25/2010: Hays, Kansas
With this sponsor and promotion, it kind of makes you want to stay home on opening day, huh?
POW 11-18-2010
10/10/2010: University Drive (U.S. Hwy 380) at the Grandy’s in Denton, Texas
You’re lawfully stopped at the red light in the only lane that somehow warrants two traffic lights and apparently you need to be told your directional driving options are unrestricted…so why not put up a sign that essentially says “do whatever you want”?
POW 11-9-2010 Start and Finish
11-9-2010 proved to be picturesque in north Texas.
The SUNRISE was captured peaking over the horizon at Lewisville Lake; that show was just as spectacular…
POW 11-9-2010
9/26/2010: Edgewood, Texas
OK, the point is we always need to thank our “Veterans”, and take every opportunity to do so. But know this pet shop’s intentions were in the right place thanking our “Vet-rans” (oh the irony of it all), and also for selling kitties cheap (and ya gotta love the home town creativity of having a Science Diet cat food bag promote the sale)

For those of you in the DFW area, the Alliance Air Show is this weekend…free to the public but $20 to park. The Blue Angels in F/A 18 Hornets (Navy), Raptors-Vipers-others (an Air Force Heritage show) flying F-22′s, and the Golden Knights parachutists (Army) will be performing, among others.
I was lucky enough to watch the Blue Angels practice late yesterday (Thursday) afternoon from the parking lot of the Cabela’s (right across from Alliance Airport). Go if you can this weekend…
Sorry these are a bit out of focus – they sure do move fast and I got much too excited to be taking pictures:

8/18/2010: downtown business parking in Lake Dallas Texas
Have you ever wanted to do customer service like this before?
POW 10-21-2010
12/12/2010: Mid-Cities of DFW
I looked…couldn’t see what it was…unless it was the pile of fence boards and rusty rebar in front of this service station and convenience store…oh wait, maybe they’re referring to the antique farm implement…no, no, that’s been “here” much longer than the sign. Hmmmm
POW 10-13-2010
So…several of you have expressed your preferences and I’m pleased to say POW (Picture Of the Week) will continue it’s email distribution. But I will most likely post to the blog as well. Thanks for your input.
10/10/2010: My backyard – it’s that time of year for butterfly migration (or flutter-by if you prefer)
Thanks to attentiveness of Zoey the Princess Scottie, I may not have noticed the brown butterfly sunning on my tan bricks Read More…

POW (Picture of the Week)
Nothing more than a few silly randomnesses (sometimes my vocabulary ain’t no better than the writing on some car windows seen around town)….
9/30/2010: IH35W south of downtown Fort Worth
“and by gosh we’re gonna kill us some bugs dead…but only those that aren’t God’s creatures!”
POW 09-23-2010
POW – Picture(s) of the Week
9/22/2010: IH35 at TX 1, Austin Texas
If you’re caught in the middle, you’re gonna get it….
