I was only armed with a cell phone, but took a handful of pictures today anyway. First, on the way to work, I passed by a fire - not an ordinary fire. A magnesium recycling facility had this one raging in a couple trailers where they store magnesium. Remember your high school chemistry? This stuff cannot be extinguished with water - they had to let it burn for quite a while.
Then, an unusual day at work, hosting some people from Kyrgyzstan, who were interested in some of the things we do. I really liked this gentleman's hat. He wore it most of the day. I believe it is a traditional thing that they wear over there. He is an elected head of a subdistrict over there.
And if, like me, you do not know where Kyrgyzstan is, you've come to the right blog! Here is a map:
Walking the dogs tonight, I was able to confirm another important sign of spring upon us: The Buzzards are Back in the Hood!
And yet another sign: a lawn a couple blocks away is having its annual inundation with whatever these little flowers are....
And here is an indoor variety of flower - an orchid my wife got.
And just to toss in an obligatory dogshot, here the canines are checking out my work as I...yes...our some dog food into a container.

We always watch for the buzzards too. We just saw them the first time over the weekend in the park near our house. I love the ground cover flowers in your picture. How pretty they are!
Oh yeah, proceed thru AFG, then hang a right in UZB and you're there.
Which is easy compared with reading those Google wavy words. Please get rid of them, as I did on my blog. A little spam won't hurt anyone.
You had a very interesting day -- magnesium fires and vistors from Kyrgyzstan. I really like the gentleman's hat. I'm glad Spring has made an appearance in your neck of the woods.
