In the past couple weeks I’ve put a few more boxes of slides in my gallery. If you can’t see the Slides album, register with the link at the top right of the page. I’m now using Picasa on my PC instead of Photoshop Elements, but there shouldn’t be much difference. I am now straightening and cropping the slides, because… Read more »
While walking along a pleasant country lane just now, a car drove past me. The driver was smoking, and for the next minute or so I could smell her cigarette. It occurred to me that, at least in terms of unpleasant odors, a cigarette pollutes more than an internal combustion engine.

Sitting on the glider, talking with my mom. Shopping with my mom. Looking at old slides with family. Swimming, canoeing, boating, BBQing, and getting sunburned at my sister’s cabin with as many children parents siblings in-laws cousins nephews and nieces as possible. Eagles! Seeing the old familiar places. Wondering how many old but not familiar faces I’m seeing and not… Read more »
Slept in until 10am. Sat on the deck chatting for quite a while. Town with Mom: car wash, computer shop (arranged projector for tomorrow), tourist info for pontoon rental, Target to look at a new TV for Mom, then McDonalds and home with David’s lunch. Back out to Paul Bunyan TV, K-Mart, and Target where we bought a 32″ Samsung… Read more »

Up hwy 65, lunch at Cambridge, saw a deer north of Mora, took a break at McGregor, and River Road in to Grand… Read more »
Not quite such an early start today. Packed and carried the bags down to the hotel lobby, checked out (and got $25 off the bill after reporting a few of the issues we had with the room; still won’t be coming back). The doorman summoned a minivan taxi for us, and we were rapidly delivered to the airport. Went through… Read more »
Slept until 10am. Walking to the strip at 1130 (Ana’s still asleep) – we may take a taxi back. Went into the first air conditioned building – the Planet Hollywood Miracle Mile shopping center. Watched a rainstom, then had breakfast at Ben and Jerry’s. Waiting for a laser show. Next door, to Paris and up the Eiffel Tower. Burger King… Read more »
Hotel breakfast again, tried the waffles but not as nice as Comfort Inn’s. First stop Kingman, just for a break. Hoover Dam (111F in the shaded car park) – walked over and back (just the visitors center was $8). Milo’s Cellar in historic Boulder City for lunch. In to Las Vegas. Found the Hard Rock Hotel easily enough, but when… Read more »
Breakfast a little after 7:30. Left the hotel a little before 8:30, got to the airport at 9:20 – an hour early. Drove into Tusayan and found Jennifer’s Coffee and Bakery. Wandered around the gift shop for a while then back to the heliport. Checked in, watched the safety video, and now we’re just waiting our turn. […]Â Well, that… Read more »
