If anyone ever tells you there's no such thing as a Gay Dolphin...

From Android Phone Pics

The view driving back to work after lunch. Traffic was pretty dead and I was actually able to stop the car in the street, grab the phone, select the camera app, point/aim, hold steady, and shoot. Well, actually I was kinda slowly creeping down Ocean Blvd., but I stopped when I actually snapped the pic.

It's on the way to work in the morning too, this view. I'm kinda posting it as a reminder, and a gentle nudge. I'm going to try very hard to remember to take "the bike route" to work...and for several reasons, I think. One, I want to know how many miles to work on the route I'd take if I was commuting on the bike, which I'm working on solving logistically. And two, I don't think I go down to the ocean near enough. I really like this route to work. It takes me from the dead south of Myrtle Beach at my stomping grounds at Springmaid Pier, to the main center of town, and up beyond a little (29th Ave.). So it's a beautiful, breezy, relaxing ride. It's nice to glance over on the way to work and catch the ocean flickering by as it's exposed in the spaces between hotels, long empty gaps and parking lots. That short drive to work taking that route can really have an energizing effect.

Oh, and the Gay Dolphin? It's over there on the right. The big glass building.

UPDATE: Yeah, I did take the long way to work this morning. It was nice.
