A. D. Williams Memorial Clinic and Laboratories
North 12th and East Marshall Streets

This is really a rerun, I covered this particular doorway before. I just like how this new shot came out. Also, the art deco transom shows up much better. This time I had a wider angle lens and got a shot of the building it's attached to. The Williams Clinic is another building slated to be razed. They do salvage things like the sandstone carvings and the deco metal. They even salvage a lot of the brick, which sounds like more work than it's worth, but since bricks are no longer made in the same size they were a long time ago, there's a market for old bricks among restoration builders.

Oz is sort of watching the Japanese rebroadcast of the World Cup final for the great moments in Italian malingering. "Oh, that guy was clearly offside!" He will probably go to bed before the famous foul. I offered to tape it, but I'm sure we can find it on YouTube if we really want to see it again.

And speaking of soccer, a Japanese news broadcast today featured a Japanese sportswriter live (sort of) from the Berlin press room. He delivered an analysis of the Japanese team and how they need to improve. He had visual aids too, these hand drawn, magic marker graphs on letter paper which he held up to the camera. "So you see, the Japanese team falls here on the scale of running ability and technical skill. The good runners don't have the technical skills and the skilled players aren't good runners. Japan needs to work on improving the technical skill of the runners, and on getting the technical players to run better … "

I think the Japanese team needs to work on coordination. Whenever a player got the ball, there was no other player in place for him to pass to. Well, there were plenty of Brazilian players in place to pass to, but that's not quite what they're going for.

I'm starting to sound like a sports fan. I think the World Cup ended just in time.
