This was the question of the week from Phoebe, and I love it. Pure childhood innocence, and a very logical question. She sees stopsigns everywhere, but no Go signs.
So I find myself thinking “this is a great concept!”
Some drivers need GO signs. Take the one below for example. The reason I was able to snap the picture was because, the car was only going 5 miles per hour. This driver needed a go sign. I was late, and the driver was slooooowwwww.
Ever notice how when you’re in a hurry, the slowest drivers appear in front of you ?
Come to think of it the GO sign is between both of my hands in the middle of the steering wheel. It just so happens to make a honking sound instead of being pre-printed on a pole on the side of the road J

Comfort versus fashion.
Looks versus feel.
To me Crok’s and other similar type shoes are made for comfort. Now I wouldn’t wear them to a black tie event, or a fancy restaurant. But when I’m on my own time, comfort is key. So should I be overly cautious about a moment in socks and Crok’s ?
Jodi, the kids, and I were on the way to vacation. I had swapped my shoes for crocs, but did not remove my socks. Just for the moment, just for driving. The question came when we stopped at a convenience store and I walked in crocs plus socks. I could tell some folks were looking—but I was on vacation Didn’t bother me, even though I noticed.
Am I missing something .Is my fashion faux pas worse than others ? Let me know…

I’ve now got a reminder of this vacation that will last forever…or at least unless it’s surgically removed. I got another tattoo…more ink…body art…whatever you may call it.
For a while now I’ve wanted to add to my fleur de lis with yet another homage to my birthplace. I’ve had my eye on some kinda use of NOLA and the street tiles used in New Orleans.
Now if you’ve never seen the street tiles, just Google “New Orleans Street Tiles” or check this link http://bingoman.wordpress.com/2007/06/26/new-orleans-street-tiles . Street corners Uptown, in the Garden District, Old Algiers and other older parts of the city all had these imbedded in the concrete…making you look down for the street name as opposed to the current system of overhead street signs.
Over the years many of the tiles have been lost or broken or chipped away and never replaced. As you can read on that link above, the company that made the tiles in a special process called encausting went out of business in 1935.
Anyway, I wanted the NOLA tiles as a new tattoo, with the white tile/blue letter look and all. I was convinced by others that artistically, the white tiles may not look too good on my body. So I settled for just the blue lettering. Once the lettering heals I’m going to return to have it antiqued or distressed to look like the real cracked tiles. Plus I’ve talked with the artist about adding more fleur de lis art in the same area. So we shall see what develops.
I took the pic myself and it wasn’t the easiest thing to do as I am not a contortionist. In twisting my body for the pic it makes the NOLA look crooked and all outta whack. Trust me it’s not…looks perfect and in time will fade to match the fleur above it.
Just a word about this tattoo parlor. Great guys, but they wanted to listen to Rod Stewart’s greatest hits during my inking. Usually it’s a bit more edgy and cooler than that. At least it wasn’t Air Supply.
Happy tatting.
