Block Party
As a representative of the Methodist Men, I had to administer and run the PET Obstacle course for the church’s Block Party.
Teresa took my camera around and took some pictures of the event.
Here are some of those pictures:

I just had a few negative ends to scan this week, so only 3 pictures.
I did mess up the some of the scanner settings on this collection, but that should be corrected for next week.

Now that I am caught back up, I’d like to step back and take stock of where this journal has went since its inception on August 9, 2006.
Since the last time I looked at these statistics, I have completed changed galleries. I can no longer show you what are the most popular photos in the Artistic and Snapshot galleries. However, I can show you the most popular pictures in the Smugmug Gallery.
Here are the 20 Most Popular:
20. Statue of Liberty
19. Youth Group Mission Trip Group Photo – Kansas City – 2011
18. Evie
17. Drenched in Loneliness
16. Alice
15. Alice
14. Kewer Wedding
13. Young Heroes Banquet
12. Young Heroes Bandquet
11. Girl in the Blue Skirt Beta – 2011
10. Katelyn
9. Maddux
8. Maddux
7. Evie
6. Evie
5. Becky
4. Theories Pass
3. Must Be Truth
2. Turtle Pond Frog
1. Evie
You might be wondering what determines the popularity of a photo. Truth is, I don’t know all the details, but I can tell you what is the dominant factor. To quote the Smugmug website:
You can increase a photo’s popularity by moving your mouse over it and clicking the thumbs-up symbol that appears. You can cast one vote per photo.
You can also rate a photo or gallery with stars when you leave a comment.
There are other factors…like time. Photos from events past will usually be less popular than recent ones.
If you see a picture you like, you should take the 5 seconds to give it the thumbs up and maybe it will make the Top 20 list next time I do this little thing.
I also like to look at the Top Ten People that have been mentioned or photographed in the history of this journal.
10. Dad – 117
9. Carla – 118
8. Sara – 122
7. Willy – 124
6. Jen – 143
5. Teresa – 144
4. Derrick – 157
3. Shannon – 160
2. Jay – 180
1. Jesse – 195
Hope you found this at least moderately interesting. I’ll check back in on these things when I hit journal entry number 1,500.
Slice of Life Vol. 109
I’m fairly certain that the sledding pictures feature the hill in old Blair Park. I don’t remember that hill being a mountain or anything, but I thought it was at least more impressive than that.
Rusty Duck
I don’t want to rehash the painful memories of being denied a trip to the Rusty Duck. It is sufficient to say that I was invited to a dinner to the Rusty Duck and then disinvited to the Rusty Duck by Sara. I hold no grudges against Sara or Shawn since this disinvitation was out of their control AND because Shawn and his mom took my side on the divisive issue.
Plus, the next day Sara brought be a day old Rusty Duck burger and even though it was a day old and I warmed it up in a hospital microwave, it was still the best burger I’ve ever had in my life.
A few weeks later, I hopped in a car with Teresa, Ernie, and Mom and went to have a fresh burger from the Rusty Duck in Dexter, Iowa.
Here are a few pictures from the trip:
The Ultimate Cheeseburger
It did not disappoint. Eating that burger was a transcendent, nearly spiritual experience. I can’t wait to do it again.
Self-Portrait Project Week 12
Pretty sure none of these pictures were faked as well.

Personal Photo Project of the Week #114
Happy Easter – 2012
I wanted my Easter picture to be a Peep burning in a microwave. Unfortunately, I waited so long to take this picture that the Peep I procured off of Teresa had melted in my car, so you probably can’t tell what it is. That is just one of the many failures in this picture, but when you are dealing with fire, you never quite know what to expect.
Here are a couple more examples:
Next year I will hopefully be more on schedule.
