A Different Perspective

This evening there was no desire to cook to be found anywhere in the household, so I fell back on the old standby of take-out Chinese. We normally go to a place that isn't "knock your socks off" fantastic, but they deliver pretty good on a consistent basis.  It's just the kind of place that when you say to yourself, "Self, sauteed chicken breast and broiled asparagus doesn't seem like it's worth the trouble of dirtying the pans," that you'd pick for reliability and speed.

One of the things I like is that they "give" me a handful of fortune cookies with my family feast. The first fortune cookie that I opened suggested that, "You will gain a different perspective." Resisting the urge to append either "in bed" or "in jail" to the end of the fortune, I realized that I'd already experienced a different perspective of sorts on my way home from work.  As part of my practice, I'm trying to take a daily photo of the USS Barry at the Washington Navy Yard every day that I can until the ship departs the Anacostia River bound for the breakers scheduled for 07 May 2016.  I was running late, one of the reasons that cooking was off the table, and stopped my car in a parking lot and snapped some shots through a fence.

USS Barry - A Different Perspective

It's a good angle to capture the ship I think, and certainly a perspective that I've not paid a great deal of attention to in the past.

The second fortuned I unearthed suggested that, "You will come to possess bushels of gold." Given the realization of the first fortune, I'm even more excited to see just what will unfold tomorrow.
