This is just outside of Burlington, VT. No where near the ocean. Think they took a left instead of a right.

Me, wearing a Japanese watch with many functions. It will even speak to you, but only in Japanese. I bought this watch on Melrose Street, and I had to go to a special dealer in Santa Monica to get the battery replaced. They told me that this watch was not supposed to be sold in the U.S., and they had a very difficult time replacing the battery. The big white button is an air pump to put air in an air cushion to allow you to adjust for fit and comfort. Another photo of the same watch, in a restaurant in Venice. I think it was the Firehouse Restaurant, and I am in the patio.

I have so many that would fit this category...I was looking for one, and came across this one. Good reason to close a road, no?

Last August I saw this plant growing along the highways in my area. I found it very interesting, as every stem comes from the roots, with no offshoots from any of the stems. As I saw them every weekday during my commute, I started seeing them closer and closer to home. An online search lead me to believe it is called "Telegraph Weed". It does grow very tiny, insignificant flowers, but it's the shape of the leaves and it's growing habit that draw my eye. They stand about 4 feet high. And what exactly is a weed? I like this definition: A weed is simply a plant out of place. By this definition, any plant could be a weed if growing in a location where it is not wanted
