On Thursday this week I took a day off from work.

The primary reason for taking the day off was to get new tires for Old Blue. I also needed to get an alignment so knew that it would take all morning. I read almost an entire book while waiting for my car. A nice relaxing morning.

Since I was taking the entire day off, I also scheduled a hair cut which took me downtown in the afternoon. After the hair cut I took a nice long walk around downtown.

I always like to take a picture of the Tracy Firefighter statue when I am downtown. I like the way that the sun was lighting up the statue when I took this picture.

I took several pictures of the Tracy Grand Theatre as I walked by. I need to share more pictures of this restored theatre. The entry way and marque is from the Art Deco period and is very beautiful.

I also took a picture of the Thai Cafe. I am not sure when they renovated the exterior of the building, but it looks really nice. Now I am hungry for some Thai food.

I also took a picture of the Harvest of Progress sculpture that is in a traffic circle by the Tracy Transit Center. The sculpture is of a farmer and a railroad man and represents the two main influences on early Tracy. You can learn more about the sculpture by visiting my post: Harvest of Progress

Now to finish my presentation for my class on Sunday morning and get some sleep.
