 A World War 2 First Sergeant in Uniform

From my 100 Strangers project - This was one of the first photos I took when I started working on the project and I failed to get this gentleman’s name. He was busking on 6th Street in Austin if anyone remembers him, I would sure love to know who he is.

A person rests against a fire hydrant, playing a guitar, seated on a sidewalk, with a guitar case and walking cane for the blind  nearby. Urban street setting.

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. - Dorothy Parker

A lack of curiosity is the most unattractive thing I can think of in a person. One of the things I love the most about the Internet is the all you can eat information smorgasbord. I just want to know more, more, more and it is never, ever enough.

Got my 100,000th visitor to my Micro.blog today. People really like to read about Obsidian, LOL. I’ve learned a lot since January and have had so much fun.

Man walking in sand dunes

From my 100 Strangers Project - Chanya was waiting to take part in a traditional Thai dance routine at the International Folk Festival held in my hometown each year. She claimed not to be nervous, but her pensive look said otherwise.

Saturday I was bragging about how easy it was for my grandson to set up an old iPad we gave him. Yeah, about that…he’s forgotten his (not written down) pass code with 48 hours and now I have to DFU the thing and set it up all over again. LOL because he called his Nana for help before me.

Satan with a cell phone

From my 100 Strangers project - Lee, the fisherman at the Oak Island pier. We have a period every fall in NC when the blues are running and the fishing piers on our barrier islands are full nearly 24 hours a day. Lee told me that he has been fishing at Oak Island since the 1950s.

An elderly man pushes a cart full of fishing rods and equipment on a busy wooden pier crowded with people engaged in various activities.

From My 100 Strangers project - Kalindra was good natured enough to let me use this guy’s prop to snap a photo. Street fairs are a good place to approach people.
