Okay, I've been back since Sunday, but I've been playing catch-up at work. I'll get back into it now. When I left off, we were taking a very long walk from the hotel to a coffee shop called Ruta Maya, where the opening party was being held. I ...

Austin - NPS Monday

Monday, Strix and I had lunch at La Traviata. It was very tasty. We saw this mailbox after lunch. I just like it. Feed your mail to R2D2; he's hungry. After lunch, we made our way to the Hyatt on the other side of the Colorado River to registe...

Saturday morning, we flew out from Albuquerque on ExpressJet, direct flight to Austin for the National Poetry Slam competitions. I hate flying, with the the lugging of the luggage and the stripping down at the security checkpoint. (It always ta...

Sunday morning, before leaving Albuquerque, we went to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Strix had heard that it was a neat place to visit, so as long as we were in Albuquerque with a morning to spare, we went to check it out. There are 19 Indi...

Swing and a Miss

A sculpture in the Charlotte Convention Center, apparently commemorating the building of the railroads. Someone has stolen the sledge hammer from the guy on the far right, however, so that railroad spike will never get driven, and the country wil...

Mandalay Bay Shark Reef

I've Got My Eye on You

I found this not too long ago on a page about the Evolution vs. Intelligent Design debate. I love it, and there was no attribution, so I snagged it. If anyone knows where it comes from, let me know and I'll properly attribute it (or take it down).
