Random Shots from My Commute...

I was clearing off some photos from my phone this weekend when I realized how random (and old) most of them are. I usually use the camera on my phone when I want to capture a funny or sweet or incredible moment and send it immediately to someone who would appreciate it.

Sometimes I don't have my other camera with me and I have to make do with my phone camera to get a shot that I'll use on here. It's not ideal, but it gets the job done. Remember the dog with sunglasses? What about the handcuffs?

I digress...over the next several days, I'll be sharing some of those random shots and random thoughts with you! Here we go.

These first photos were all captured on my commute to or from work.

NOTE: All photos were taken while I was stopped at a stoplight or stop sign.

First up, do you see the back window of this car?

Someone had fun with stickers! Will that affect the re-sale value?

Not sure you will get the full effect with this next photo. The truck in my rearview mirror is covered in carpet.

I've seen a van covered in outdoor green carpet, but never a truck covered in black carpet!

 Not sure why I took this last photo...I'm thinking it's because the bikers in front of me were all women. Or maybe I was thinking I needed one of those hogs. Or maybe I was trying to check my e-mail and hit the wrong button. Who knows? I just wanted to share!

Coming soon...

Unique Place to Keep a Pair of Handcuffs!

Have you ever wondered wear plain-clothed police officers keep their handcuffs?

I've never really thought about it, but I was at a kick-off event for the Indiana State Fair (still accepting entries for my ticket giveaway here) where Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard also happend to be on Friday and I noticed their security detail milling about.

They didn't attempt to hide who they were and their guns were in full display on their belts. As they passed by me, I caught sight of their handcuffs and just had to get a photo.

I used my camera phone to casually get this shot so it's not as clear as it could be.

Too funny, huh?

I snapped this photo of Off the Cuff and Indypendent at the fair on Friday too.

Isn't she a ham? (Sorry I couldn't resist)
