Resurrectionary

This evening was the open house celebration for the rebuilt Minnehaha Academy, two years after a gas leak explosion destroyed a large section of the original buildings.

I think they did a good job of memorializing the past with pieces of the old buildings on display, including the cornerstone. 

I also like the forward thinking in the new buildings.  They put a lot of thought into making it functional and still very aesthetically pleasing.  It reminds me a lot of a college campus.

Sentimentally

This pretty much sums up 1982.

Buzzy

Another from the archives.  Some people may say that it's not the size of your chainsaw that counts, but how you use it.  I beg to differ.  It's definitely about the size of your chainsaw.  As seen in 2005.

Distastefully

There was a Cicada lounging by my vehicle this evening.  I took a few pics, but none turned out very well, so I decided to have a little fun.

I turned one of the images into some creepy Cicada wallpaper.  Wouldn't this be great in, say, the bathroom?  No?  Oh why not?

Kindheartedly

My great aunt and uncle.  Such a sweet lady, soft-spoken and kind.  He always looked gruff, but he  had a dry sense of humor that you could miss if you weren't looking for it.  As seen in 1982.

Techie Corner
Digging through my stinky old Polaroids again.  This one started out pretty dark, but I managed to bring it back to a more normal exposure.
