...i know...another day passed where i didn't get out of bed...but crap, you only live once...the batteries will wear out soon...so today i am sharing photos from my trip to altamont (not in my little corner of the world) and as you will see, things are a little different, a little slower...
...here we go...
i am starting off with the altamont united church...because...the road to heaven is paved with good intentions...i don't start out looking for trouble...it just kind of finds me...
as you can see, there is a bat on this sign...well, altamont has one day that's completely devoted to bats...the townspeople gather in the curling rink (in the summer when there's no ice) and mark a grid on the floor...then, they set up picnic tables and around the outside of the rink and start to party...they serve bat in every manner of cooking...hot wings, bat pot pie, bat kabobs, bat in apsic, pickled bat's feet, bat wraps, 'batchos' and 'guanamole', you name it...people buy sections of the grid and the first spot to get bat shit wins the big prize...it's an exciting day that the townsfolk look forward to all year...
this is the inside of the altamont hotel bar...i stayed there one night when i had one beer and a juice too many and i was too heavy to cart out the door...
they don't have phones here in altamont, so people go to the bar and write a note on the ceiling for their friends and family to see...
as with most modern towns, smoking must take place outside of the bars and restaurants, so here is the altamont smoking sectional...
this is a photo of my nephew barney who lives in altamont...he's the best child, good as gold...barely hear a peep out of him...altamont definitely is a quiet place...
and lastly, no trip to altamont would be complete without seeing the world's biggest rubber ducky...bert told me that ernie has wet dreams about this one...
