Drive Down Madison, Memphis, TN
Those of you in Memphis might enjoy the set of pictures I just uploaded to Flickr. They were taken on a grey day driving down Madison from the medical center to Cooper.
I’m using Flickr for general interest photographs, MoblogUK for ones taken on my cell phone when I’m out and about, and the blog for the rest. If you know me, you know I’m a serious shutterbug. I don’t know all that much about cameras, but I take a LOT of pictures. I’m all about quantity over quality. It’s about documentation, not impressing anyone. Still, with quantity, I often find amongst my ranks several pictures of quality.
The sidebar tells you how to find all these pictures, so take a look some time. —->
Tornado Warning
I hate tornado warnings (see the red areas). I mean, what am I supposed to do? Take the cats into my handy dandy storm cellar? No wait. I live on the 2nd floor. I hear sirens and airplanes still flying overhead, airplanes that sorta sound like tornados. I’d rather they just turn the sirens off, since there isn’t anything I can do about it anyway.
