The Eagle Has Landed

June 5, 2008

I had a boss once who used to tell us the mail had arrived by yelling from the shop, which had a view of the mailbox, “The eagle has landed!” On paydays, which at the time was the first working day of every month (only paid once per month), he would add the phrase, “– and he shiites money!”

  • Brian says:

    Ah us, the wonders of a boss trying to be funny. :)

  • Carletta says:

    Wonderful shot with a wonderful angle!

  • Robin says:

    Israelis get paid once a month too. Those months get long sometimes, don’t they?

  • Dr. John says:

    Good picture of the Eagle after it landed.

  • Dianne says:

    what an original shot! I didn’t even think of the mail truck and it’s parked by my house every day.

    nothing’s going on ;)
    just where his route starts

    although he is cute.

    Cool shot. Nice angle. All of your project blue shots are wonderful. I love the bridge too…. well, I love them all.

  • I have mixed feelings about the mail truck. It brings fun packages and catalogs, but it also brings the bills. LOL!!! Great choice for a blue photo!!!

    Wow! I can’t believe I never answered these! Too much stress!

    Gattina — Ray was a walking riot. He fired me for washing his coffee cup — then called me up and rehired me, but insisted I NEVER wash it again.

    Melli — well, I’ve never forgotten it ….

    Brian — easier said than done!

    Carletta — thank you.

    Robin — it has been years since I only got paid once per month, but I have never forgotten the agony of that last week!

    Dr. John — thank you.

    Dianne — you can sit at the window and day dream.

    Raven — thank you. It is hard to go wrong taking pics of Hawaii.

    Karen — that’s what the garbage can is for …. oops!

    Photowannabe — yep. Pure, pedigreed, redneck.

    Kelly Ann — well then, thank you for the service!

    Juliana — yes. I get paid twice per month.
