Dropping My Ruck

Today, I relieved myself of a few more material burdens, and every day that passes the act of lightening my load gets a little easier. This shirt rainbow that's been sitting in my closet, for the most part unused, is no longer my problem.

I meant to get back out to Riverby books to drop off my collection of Christopher Moore titles, but a hectic schedule and late departure thwarted my meager attempt. I hope there is another day to make that drop because I feel a strong connection, very likely of my own feverish imagining, to the owners of that store who are pursuing their dreams. I hope that's what they're doing anyway because I love the idea of a neighborhood used book store.

I wrapped up the day with some quick snaps of the Washington Navy Yard in the late afternoon. Only a very few more weeks the USS Barry departs. Circumstances forcing me again to expand my horizons for new subjects to photograph.

Daylight savings time seems to be working against me in capturing sunsets. My proclivity for ignoring my alarm counters my attempts at the sunrise. C'est la vie. Loosely translated, that means that if you want to see the sun peeking up over the horizon it's best not to sleep until 0630 in April while located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.

Tomorrow is "climb in the aluminum tube and hurtle across the countryside at an altitude of five miles day," and I'm really looking forward to how the day leaves me scratching my head in wonder.
