Hot Times in the City

It's been this hot all summer long. Hopefully, it won't get this hot again until next year. Late next year.

Do you know what this is?

Driver's training for the United States Postal worker. See the mailboxes and the garbage cans they have to steer around?

Snake Training

If your dog lives in the desert, he should be snake trained. This company teaches your dog to fear and stay away from rattlers.

Talk about being short sheeted?

Saw this while showing homes. It sure did make the room look bigger.

Segway in Gilbert, AZ

This is the security guard at San Tan Village in Gilbert. We're seeing more and more segways everywhere.

Purdue Sports

The indoor running track at Purdue University.
McKay Fieldhouse at Purdue

This is the indoor practice field in West Lafayette, Indiana. Home of the Purdue Boilermakers. I was on vacation when I snapped these photos. Nothing to do with Chandler, I just like the sports pictures.

Chihuly: The Nature of Glass

Glass, rock and cactus

Phoenix from Above

I had lunch at the Arizona Club in downtown Phoenix. Here was our view.

Double jointed bike

Can you tell that both bike wheels are pointing forward. This guy has a double jointed bike. I saw him earlier with one wheel on the street and the other on the sidewalk and he was moving straight down the curb.

Ducks in my Pool

Actually not my pool. I was showing houses and we came up upon this bank owned home with a green pool and ducks. The ducks were unusual, but not the green pool

Fiesta Bowl Museum

Can you name the school for each helmet?

College Football

Visit the Fiesta Bowl Museum down on the Scottsdale waterfront. Last year Ohio State and Texas squared off. But, if you want to see your favorite teams helmet, it'll be there.

Dog Park

In Gilbert there's a dog park with a unique drinking fountain.

Carefree Dog

As I was driving around Carefree, I spotted this dog in a bank parking lot.

The Diamondbacks Big Board

Now that's a big screen tv. Pictured is Jay Bruce of the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Notice the ad behind him is for Cincinnati's famous Skyline Chili. Funny thing is, you can't buy it in Arizona.

Island Bathroom

Lots of folks have islands in their kitchen. Here's the first one I've seen in a bathroom.

Eye

Yeah, that's my eye.

More Faces

Hopefully, if you didn't see faces on yesterdays wall you at least see faces on these cupcakes. They were made for a baby shower. See the pacifiers in the mouths?

A Chandler Wall

You know how people see images of Jesus in peeling paint, stains or everyday objects? I see a couple faces on this wall. What do you see?

Ladder Ball Anyone?

That's Doug and Annie getting in a game of ladder ball in Indiana. What picnic games do you play? The object is to get the golf ball ropes to hang on the posts like you see the orange ones do. The higher the post, the more the points. Annie is throwing hers to a ladder about 20 feet away.

Just like a Resort.

This home is for sale in southern Chandler, near the Bear Creek Golf Course. It's in a gated community and is very private. Check out the flyer for the details and more pictures.

Indiana Ghost

At least it looks that way.

Forest Fire

I didn't know Chandler had a palm tree farm. Until, part of it went up in flames. I took this with my Treo phone back in May.

The Arizona Republic

This sculpture is in front of PF Chang's in Scottsdale. It's called "The Doors". Beautiful as you drive by, but just as interesting on the inside. So, get out of your car and step on in.

Here's a photo with me in it of the mirrored interior. I woke up this morning to seeing this picture and a story about us Arizona photo bloggers on the cover of the Valley & State section of our Arizona Republic. And while you are inside you'll get to hear sounds like this.

I love this picture. It's three mirrors in a triangle formation. I took a picture of one mirror with the other two behind me. No photo shop or anyother darkroom magic. Just a camera and 5 seconds of my time.

It's August, swim time!

Chandler goes to Indiana

While on vacation we spotted this drop off for old flags.
