Re: Photos

Okay, I’m sorry that last post was soo… blah, with none of my wit or charm really showing through. I just had to do something and it came out kind of boring.

And that leads me to this post. More photos. I can’t help it though, I just love having a window in the conference room. As I’m locked inside for the weekend, any bit of outside is welcomed.
Rainy

Sunny

And yes, these two photos were taken in the same day. England isn’t all dreary, damp, and cold… It just mostly is.

Photos!

Delicious!
This is deliciousness in little pyramids in a big box. I would have bought some, but I just didn’t.

 

Fish and chips
This is fish and chips. And mashed peas. Mashed peas are kind of strange, but edible. Kind of that blah opinion where I could eat it if I had to, it wasn’t something that was good or bad…

 

9 Fish tanks
9 fish tanks. It’s three fish tanks making a triangle around a hole in the floor, and then it goes up for three floors.

 

Pain...
I titled this one Pain. It went into my ear a whole extra evening. At first it feels good, it just fits just right, but by the end of the weekend, it’s just plain painful.

 

Blessed Dinner
Yummy, blessed dinner. It was 12am. I was hungry. I hadn’t eaten since lunch and that cheeseburger didn’t last long.

 

Giant Tissue Box
Just look at the size of that tissue box! It’s huge!

 

Desk Part 1
Three computers, all doing something important. I felt special.

 

Desk Part 2
The other part of my desk, it iPod, the Recording devices, the cd player and the sound board. The rack is just to the right of the board, out of the picture.

 

And that concludes our tour. Thanks for joining me and send me all your friends.

The Grand Canyon!

So instead of stopping in Williams like I originally planned, I decided to continue to the closer hotels just outside the park entrance. I’ll save me an hour and half tomorrow driving, which will be nice. Then I can spend more time looking and walking around.

So here’s what I did so far on my journey.

I left town midday on Monday, after having breakfast with the Cooks, saying good bye to the office again, getting my car washed, and getting a replacement nalgene bottle. I drove and drove and drove some more, but then I realized that I had to drive quite a way further in the over all scheme of my trip, so why should I just put up with having my front wheels unbalanced? So I took a detour in Fresno to Big O tires and said “What the hay,” and got four new tires.

Then I remember getting tires is like being locked in prison for an hour half and then paying almost four hundred dollars to get out. Sure your car rides like a dream but was it really worth it? I guess so, since I did need new tires and Walmart made me sign something saying that they aren’t responsible if I die from lack of tread when they changed my oil on Saturday.

Then it was back on the road again and spent the night in Bakersfield.

Today I woke up and was on the road and here are some pictures:

Snow

SNOW! At the Grand Canyon there’s more snow than at home. It’s crazy and kind of refreshing.

Well, I’m off to find some food to eat. Later!
