"Wet streets, alla time wet streets..."

...is a favorite quote from a long-ago parody in MAD magazine. Tonight, it even fits....

I wanted to shoot some pictures tonight. Had a theme picked out and everything. But then, it began to rain. Even worse, my back, which has been hurting all day, finally decided to go completely wacko on me. I barely managed to crawl back into the car and make it home.

But I did get two shots which, minus any sort of theme, I'll post simply because I kinda like "em.

First, the "Indian Room," one of the city's finest seedy dives, has restored its neon sign....



And I had one last shot -- so to speak -- at furthering the "New Art Form" I "invented" yesterday....



That's it. You may resume your regularly scheduled routine now.

Bummer about the back, Scribbs. Hope you feel better tomorrow. :)

Thanks, L&s...I've taken some snake-bite medicine, and it seems to have relieved the pain.

The Indian Room sign is crooked. Then again, it looks like the kind of place that wouldn't care. :-)

*hugs* and alooooooooha!

p.s. THANK YOU for taking off the word verification thing!!! it has been giving me a hell of a hard time!!!

Dang.....maybe I DO need glasses! Us Californians don't know what water looks like on the streets. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!

Shame, shame, kashew! This was California rain, too!

I like that street shot. I'd probably never go in that place, but it makes a nice picture.

I'm glad I don't have a camera in my car. I'd be spending all kinds of gas money looking for things to shoot.

I wouldn't go into the "Indian Room," either, dal...

But, like so many places, I'm glad it's there and would miss it if is was gone.
