Save Our MARTA Rally

This morning when I got of the train at Five Points station I ended up in the middle of a rally in support for the mass transit system in Atlanta. There are looming budget cuts that could mean a reduction in services by about 30% I delayed my trip to the motor vehicle department to take a few photos. It was a decent crowd and if I hadn't been on my way to get my car registered and then head back to work I would have stuck around longer. Here's a few photos from the rally.

Just playing with reflection on this last one, didn't work like I wanted.

Oakland Cemetery from the MARTA

A second relatively large snow storm has hit Atlanta this winter, I am just happy to have made it into Atlanta before it really began to impact the airport. Here I spent the week in Oklahoma and didn't really see much of the white stuff, and I come back to a white Atlanta. I also learned that a walk from the local MARTA station to the neighborhood where I live is manageable with my carry on luggage, which is a nice benefit of living in a big city.

Breakfast with Andrew

The Story Teller

Andrew's favorite: Arnold Palmers

Huge breakfast burritos (I ate one for breakfast and one for lunch)

The Portland Scramble (full of veggies)

Andrew who was one of my interns and coworkers and good friends stopped to visit me on his way home to North Dakota. We went out on the town and then went to breakfast at Thumbs Up, great food! It was a good run with Andrew and I am sure our paths will cross soon.
