A friend sent me an e-mail with photos of strange buildings from around the world. Included was one that claimed to be a public library in Kansas City, Missouri. Here's the photo. It is truly an amazing bit of ingenuity . . . if it's real. Anyone actually seen it who can verify its accuracy?
Update: I went to the web and researched this. It's real! The books are actually on the face of the parking garage for the library. You can see many more pictures of this amazing library . . both inside and out . . by running the slide show here.

Going up!
Prescott Valley's new town library is steeling itself for the town's readers.
Funny. You'd think a building that used to house prim little ladies whispering "shhhhh" to noisy patrons wouldn't be made out of steel.
Anyway, here's a look at the project, which will also house some classrooms for the P.V. campus of Yavapai College.

Signs of Autumn
Ah, the days and nights are cooler, with crisp breezes blowing.
And the leaves are changing color . . from green to golden . . .
. . and red . . .

Some trees, like this big Globe Willow, are still in transition.
But there are other less pleasing signs of the season.
Note the young man who constructed this Halloween scene even dug a couple of graves with tombstones in his front yard. Ingenious!
But there are other less pleasing signs of the season.
They seem to appear nearly every year nowadays.
Call it "Campaign Clutter."
One candidate for state office used his garage door as his sign-posting space.

Mac is back!
Word has it that John McCain is showing up Thursday night to make up with Dave on the Letterman Show.
Wonder if it will be something like this?

Beef on the Hoof
These pictures were all taken just a couple of blocks from where I live. It's a big open field and sometimes the rancher who owns it has his cattle grazing on it.
This big fella doesn't look pleased. I'm not sure whether he's got his rear foot tangled up in that brushy tree or if he's just thinking about taking on the wise guy with the camera.

(Try not to picture where the steaks and hamburgers are going to come from.)

The New West
Take a look at this. You might have to blow it up by clicking on the picture to "get the picture".
It's a little bit of "the Old West" sort of superimposed on "the new West". Those are the Bradshaw mountains in the distance, part of the town of Prescott Valley a little closer (where the trees are) and a small herd of cows on what apparently is still ranchland.
Kinda neat, huh?
Would have been better if I'd have stopped to take the picture when the cows were right up by the fence.
