I had completely forgotten about it but yes, the first post of this blog was exactly a year ago! So today, I am bringing you back where it all began: the window of Gray's Papaya, a local hot doggery claiming that its hot dogs are as good as filet mignons. One year ago...
If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you will see that they were encouraging our mayor to run for president. And, they were promising free hot dogs on inauguration day!Today is also theme day and the theme for August is metal. I am now scratching my head to link this post to the theme, to which I had registered forgetting about the blog anniversary. I think I can leave you with two quotes, vaguely appropriate here:
"Water makes metal rust, so imagine what it can do in a stomach." (Jean-Marie Gourio)
and
"Metal detectors in airports are so sensitive that I avoid to eat spinash before boarding on a flight." (Philippe Geluck)
Well, rest assured that you won't get any spinash at Gray's Papaya and your beverage of choice should of course be a papaya drink.
There are 183 blogs participating in this theme day. Which means there are at least 182 much better interpretations of the theme! Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
Happy August, everyone!

happy august full of smiles for you!
Congratulations to the blog anniversary, Eliane! You did a wonderful job and I'm very grateful. Keep up the good work ^-^/
PS: August 1st is a good day. It's also the Swiss birthday aka National Day.
Fighting the good fight for a just and enlightened country will certainly test Obama's mettle.
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow show us how you celebrated the day :-)
Happy August and many more anniversaries to you. :-)
Félicitations et bon anniversaire
une belle rétrospective
happy anniversary Elaine. Great to show the two photographs and I love the way you brought metal into it. well done!
Oh Happy Birthday to this blog!
Congratulations!
Are metal detectors so sensitive now? haha...
Oh yes, Happy Theme Day too!
a NYC on sert les politiciens en Hot Dog ;o)) j'aime beaucoup. De toute façon les hommes politiciens sont des produits publicitaires, donc cela va tres bien.
Vu la fin de ton message, j'en deduis que tu pars en vacance, alors bonne vacance
ah oui, rate de ma part, valider trop vite : Happy Anniversaire for ton blog.
Congratulations on your one year anniversary. Wow, that's some swing in politics in a tear's time for that shop owner - from Bloomberg to Obama! That in itself makes these good documentary photographs.
Ha Ha Ha and Happy Blogiversary!

Well done on reaching one year! Keep up the good work. I like the quotes, better than a boring metal photo! lol :)
Congrats on one year! I like how they are not afraid to show who they like. You always run the chance that 50% of your customers will not come back.
Great photos! And the tie in would be the frames around the windows and doors...
Happy Theme Day!

Happy first anniversary.
I like the the Spinach quote!!!
Happy anniversary! I always enjoy reading your posts, they usually make me smile and this one did not disappoint. Have a great theme day and bon weekend!
Eliane, the amount of chemicals in a hotdog is enough to qualify it for a "metal" product. :-)
Happy Anniversary!!
Happy birthday!!!
:)
Nice guests you have — politicians! LOL!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Happy 1 year, Eliane! Well done. Like Cluelesss, I too look forward to seeing your blog and smiling or being enlightened in some way . . . thanks for sharing your gifts with us. Your theme post is wonderful and I agree with Urselaine - - we'll see what kind of mettle Obama is made of in the upcoming few months.
