This was an art installation in front of my neighborhood in San Miguel (see the sign for El Paraiso behind it). Not there any longer. I called her Peek-a-Boo.

Here's what I did. Don't know if it's the proper way, but oh well.

First I sent all my pictures to FB, but posted them so that only I could see them.
You know, where you click post and it asks you if it's for public, or friends, or only you.

Then I clicked on each photo so it was the large version.
Then Right click and choose "copy image adress"

Then, you come pack here to a2k
Right click and paste.
Then highlight all that code that gets pasted, and click "IMG" on the BBCode Editor that's right above the posting area.

To double check, click Preview to see if it came out the way you wanted.

Repeat.

Does that help?

BTW, if you want to post an image like off of Google, it's basically the same thing.

@Setanta,
What's your secret? All that walking? Feels great, yes?!

Who knows, the weather might hold into the fall and we'll be able to grab a meal together by then, or a socially accepted, physically distanced walk on the beach might be ok again.

@Joeblow,
Yes, the walking is the main thing. Being obsessive helps, too. Yesterday, I walked from the house to Coxwell, staying in the alleys as much as possible. People just don't seem to get the distancing thing. I was lucky, too, I found a five dollar bill. The round trip is about two miles. I got home, though, and the five was no longer in my pocket! So I retraced my steps, thinking if I had dropped it in one of the alleys, I might still find it. I didn't though, oh well.

A walk on the beach sounds great. If everything goes well, we might still visit Hirut[/url] for some fine Ethiopian food. (That's a clickable link.)

@Setanta,
Or both... sounds good. Beth can bring her camera maybe and we can get some cool shots of passersby, and you can inform us of what's good on the menu. I've never eaten at an Ethiopian restaurant, that I can recall.

Sorry 'bout your luck. I'd be happy to find a fin.

Easy come, easy go . . . I ended up walking four miles or more, which is more than I usually do. I was knocked out by the time I got home.

23 years of walking concrete walks all day, plus carrying heavy loads up and down stairs, did my knees in. I still walk daily, but usually wear the slip on kind of knee braces. Sometimes it's painful but I still get around pretty well.

having nothing else to do earlier, I took the old disposable razor and zipped off the overgrowth of hair atop my head. It'd been a week and was getting bothersome.

The city has quieted down a bit more as It was finally realized by officials that the majority of construction projects should be put on hold. These people work in close proximity and the fact that it took this long for officials to decide to label it 'non-essential' is almost puzzling.

Happiness reigns this very moment.

Set went to Serbian bakery around the corner to get some bread. Came back with bread .... ham and cheese pastries, nutella pastries, and cherry pastries ! that lady at the cash adores him. He's probably one of the only men in the area she can literally look up to. I think (ha! know) he flirts his way into extra pastries. She gives him the end of day discount plus a flirt discount whenever he goes in there.

making some black/raspberry tea to have some kind of wonderful pastry with

the things those lads can do with flaky pastries
<swoon>

An update on the haircut business. Mrs Freally did a nice job.When I get a haircut I always look like I got weed whacking. he did the back (She got rid of a nascent Mullet), and some around the ears.
No blood, looks pretty good, I got nowhere to go but ill look good on the tractor I guess.

Bonnie and Clyde took off and chased down a coyote who bothered me for being out in the middle of the day. That kind of bhavior is worrisome. I suppose h didnt have rabbis because he took off when these two mini mules ere coming at him.

@farmerman,
I've been begging Set to let me give him a nice pruning. He might not like my terminology.

On the upside he did trim his beard today.

Maybe that's what the Serbian bakery lady reacted to? Cool

The lady at the bakery showed me the day-old pastries. They should have been one dollar to a buck-and-a-half. I pointed at the Nutella pastries and asked her how much? She says fifty cents. I point at a ham and cheese pastry, and ask how much. She says fifty cents, with a tone of exasperation. I point at the cherry pastry, and before I can ask she says fifty cents, everything fifty cents. I said I'll take all of it. I mean, really, me flirt?

After I got back from the bakery, I took my long walk. Last week, I would have said that one in four people get it about distancing. This week, I'd say it's one in three, which ain't much of an improvement. That means two thirds of these jokers either don't get it, or don't care. I'm 69 years old, if I get this virus, it will likely be a death sentence. What a buncha maroons.
