photos of the week

Now just two days away from my home purchase, I thought I'd post a couple photos from the past week that have nothing to do with my future abode:

Here we have a rare picture of chabel.net author Simon Chabel cutting onions. In the foreground on the right in the bisected brie, waiting for a poor wrapping of puff pastry that will ensure it oozes all over the baking sheet while cooking.

Trumpter statues flank the entrance to the Indianapolis Conrad. While they did not greet our arrival with bellows, they still looked neat. This was the only photo I took on the drive out here. Probably for the best since I was driving.

Finally, Senator John Edwards will announce his candidacy for President of the United States in New Orleans today. I voted for Sen. Edwards in 2004, and feel even more favorable toward him today. Announcing in New Orleans is more evidence that Sen. Edwards understands the need to make major changes in the way our nation addresses issues of race and class and I look forward to him making this a central issue in the campaign.
