If I had to pick one image, and one image only, to communicate what my mundane, off-line life looks like, it would be this one:


Chesapeake logo
Chesapeake logo
This logo appears on all city-sponsored websites, on official city correspondence, and is painted on all the water towers. [description for the visually impaired] "Chesapeake" printed with an uppercase C, while the other letters are lowercase; the h in Chesapeake has a long, sweeping, serif, underlining the letters e through p. "Virginia" is written in a smaller font, in all caps, directly underneath, and is right-justified with the final e in Chesapeake.



I'm not sure if I love it or hate it. It is, however, the image imprinted on my brain, when I think of this place. This is in large part, I'm sure, because I see it in ten-foot high letters on the water tower (maybe? I don't know how to estimate the size), every time I leave the house to go just about anywhere.

The only places I have not seen it is on tee-shirts or ball caps, or any of those gift-shop touristy things proclaiming hometown pride. This ommission makes no sense to me, as it seems perfectly suited to a tee-shirt. And it would be more fun to see it there than on your city tax bill, I'm sure.
