Getting to shoot for/at work is a good thing.

Yeah, it's one of the primary reasons I stick around here.

That, and the free bus rides.

It starts at 11, but I may not go over until about 11:30 or so.

Just remember what Capa said, if the picture isn't good enough then you're not close enough.

I'm back for a few minutes.

Yay!! Now get busy, trying to get us to 950 before I go off to the chili cookoff.

Well…I DO have my macro lens with me!!

Laguna Beach has a free muni bus/shuttle service.

And it's the Smokies. Or the Great Smoky Mountains.

Just so you know.

And they are part of the Appalachians, which is pronounced "apple LATCH ee uns"

Our trolleys are free. They serve the downtown area, and there's also one that goes between downtown and the University of Tennessee.
There's no beach, but there IS a river landing downtown that's a pretty popular spot.

I like winters in SoCal, except the lack of daylight hours.

 

[snowbear97]

I will try, dear. You can count on me to help.

Snow ski or surf and less tourists.

Here's a weird thing about our transit system though. There is NO public transit to the Knoxville airport.

Because it's not in Knoxville. Or even in Knox County. It's in Alcoa, in Blount County.

And we are only the transit system for the CITY of Knoxville, so we don't go to Blount County.

But try explaining that to all the people who want to take a bus to the airport.

I remember going to the waterfront when I visited the fair in 1982; there were fish feeding stations. There were so many carp you could walk from one end of the harbor to the other and not get your feet wet.

Free is hard to beat.

You've got me on less tourists. Dear goodness, I HATE all the tourists!! I mean, I don't hate them individually, as people. I just hate them collectively, as a group. Just for trampling through my backyard all the time.

Most airports aren't really in the cities they serve. Reagan Washington National is not in Washington - it's in Virginia, across the river from Washington.
