dawning realization
Pop's was exactly the kind of place he loved. Nothing pretentious or fancy about it, just a good chili dog and the best homemade ice cream since... he'd made it at home. Halfway through his first dog he looked at her and realized he'd forgotten the camera. Not "decided to leave it behind", "forgotten it".

And significant because normally I wouldn't go anywhere at the beach (or much of anywhere else) without my camera. And if I did, it would be because I'd made a conscious decision not to bring it. This time I simply forgot it. (Distracted much ya think?) I did, however, get this shot of Pop's (which in fact does have some of the best chili dogs I've ever had) a couple of nights before.

That, my friend, is a most excellent kind of forgetfulness. The happy kind.

Nothin better!!
But growing old is a bitch ain't it?
Excellent 55 Mojo.
As for the Cup? It's over, lets move on. Yay!

The food must be really good if it makes you forget about everything else. Great 55.
Jeez, didn't know there was a food theme going. I so get this though. I can't travel without my camera either. My 55 is HERE .
very fun 55.
mine is up!
dawgs all the way--Mr Jackson looks for ways to pass by our neighborhood hot dawg stand..great 55
need to write notes on the hand
always great Mojo
I'm up
I suspect it was the company, more than the food, and that is exactly as it should be. Some moments just need to be enjoyed as is, fully present, not behind a lens. (And besides, I'm guessing chili dog + camera = messy unhealthy for camera combination.)

I love to sit and reminisce about days gone by...this one had me craving a great hot dog stand and just sitting to watch people.
My 55 is Here As always scroll down below my Friday Show N Tell. Have a great weekend!!!
Got to be a good thing, once in a while. Normally forgetting the camera is kinda like forgetting an arm. She must have been a heck of a lot more interesting than said camera. ;)
I think sometimes the photo gods want us just to enjoy the scene and not snap it! :) ummm, chili dog for lunch today...that sounds divine! :)
Nice pulp fiction hardness to the prose. Hammer Horror for me today. My 55
You forget because of a wonderful distraction. I love hot dogs...from 7-11. Should I admit that? LOL
