As a slight nod to today's date, I wanted to create an image that contained or conveyed the number '13' in some fashion. And for some reason, the first thing that popped into my head was a baker's dozen - which of course is thirteen. And before you send me emails wondering if I can count, I do know that this mini muffin tin has twelve cups. But you do bake with it, which would make you a baker, and when finished, you'd have twelve muffins. Since you are a baker and they would be your muffins, that would make it a baker's dozen. ;-) Ok, perhaps that is a bit of a stretch, but it is my image, and my blog, so I say it works. He he.

It's a bit strange to find a diesel gas pump sitting in an alley in a residential city neighborhood. It's not something you see everyday for sure. This one, however, belongs to the fine folks of Milwaukee Fire Department Station 27 - home of Engine 27 and Ladder Truck 5. Situated near the Milwaukee River in the East Side neighborhood, I'm guessing the pump was added quite a while after the firehouse was built way back in 1903. Day 225 of my 365 photo a day project.

The public pay phone. They used to be everywhere - at every gas station, market, many street corners, rest stops along the highway, bars. Now, in the cell phone age, when I see one of these, I usually do a double take. It's certainly a rare site and brings back a lot of memories from my childhood.
