Bench

We replaced our rotting garden bench with a used one from Craigslist, and today I gave it a fresh coat of paint.

The whole thing is aluminum, but I used a textured spray paint for the faux strapping to make it look more like fabric.

Crabcake

Here you see my 2nd crabcake meal of our trip to DC. Why is it impossible to find a decent crabcake in New England? Just say NO to bell pepper, celery, leafy herbs, and other extraneous ingredients! Crabcake should be crabmeat, cracker meal, mayonnaise, and from none to a ton of Old Bay seasoning (depending on what you’re going for), Fried in butter, please.

Who wore it better?

Some idiot rammed their car into a telephone pole nearby, and police are directing the main road near our house down our street this evening. I took this shot of the police lights down the street with the big camera and with my phone. Let’s see which one you folks prefer:
