My wife and I just paid off her truck in just under two years instead of five. Shoveling money at our bills in an effort to make them go the heck away takes discipline and a budget. That means that I don’t often get those little indulgences I’ve favored in years past, such as my beloved Applebee’s boneless wings. Imagine my surprise (and glee) tonight when she asked me if I wanted to go get some, since our budget could handle it! Yowza! I thought maybe it was because I surprised her by doing a bunch of housework while she was gone…in reality, I think it’s because she loves me. To top it off, she thought it’d be keen if I took a few minutes to grab a couple of photos along my way.

The bridge shot above is a reshoot of something I tried the night before (see the post following this one). I accidentally left the lens’s gyroscopic image stabilizer turned on for the shots last night, probably in an effort not to freeze my fingers off, which left it room to wander a little bit and blur my photos. Oops. I made good tonight.

I also featured the Global War On Terror memorial recently, but this was an opportunity to show it at night. The variety of light in the area made it a particularly challenging shot, one that I wasn’t sure would turn out. I was pleasantly surprised with the results.

One more angle of said memorial. After I got a few photos out of the way, I figured it was about time for my Carside To Go order to be ready. I pointed the truck toward the ‘bees and picked up my wingies. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Clint likey. Clint want wingie. (I couldn’t wrap this up without a music or movie quote.)
