Living in a democratic country like America, I truly cherish the opportunity to be able to have your voice be heard. This is not the case where I grew up.

I drove by "The Little Store" numerous times on Route 25 in St Charles and always wanted to photograph it as there is just something special and intruiging about it. I got my chance on rainy Monday but I was on a photoshoot where I promised to only use the 50mm. So there you go. I took this picture in my car. You can see the reflection of my car in the window. If you live in the western Chicago suburbs, you probably know about this place.
There is a story about this little store closing shop after 82 years in business: www.mysuburbanlife.com/stcharles/topstories/x1306090319/S...

No photos today, but I do want to share something special.
My wife has a co-worker who is a young mother. She was just a temporary hourly worker struggling to make ends meet. She lives in the Chicago's south side but does not have a car, so she has to take public transportation to work at the office in Des Plaines, which is west of O'Hare Airport. She is raising a little girl by herself. One day, my wife gave her some of our daughter's old clothes. The next day, she received this card from the little girl. Her mom said it's totally by the girl herself. I thought I'd share this with my Flickr friends. It's heart warming token of appreciation and means much more than a pretty picture. This card is so beautiful--I was quite moved by the thought and the effort put in it by a little girl.

Inside of my daughter's HP laptop.
The computer was overheating and the fan was getting restless so we took it apart and cleaned the fan as well as reattaching the CPU and GPU to the motherboard (on the back). This was during the dismantling process and it was only half way to total nakedness.
