West Texas New Year’s

The Brunette and I took an end of the year trip to West Texas. As you have most likely heard, we got married. Should you be so inclined, our “wedding” photos can be seen here. Enjoy!

Big Bend National Park Photo Dump

We took the kids down to the national park today. It was as splendid as ever, if seriously drought stressed, more so than I have ever seen. Funny thing about the desert: if you’d never seen it before you probably wouldn’t know it was drought stressed, but if, like me, you have, you’d notice [...]

Big Bend Country, Day Two Photo Dump

We visited Marfa and the surrounding area today. We are off to Big Bend National Park tomorrow, which will be an all day trip, posting tomorrow is doubtful.

Today’s photos, about 50, begin here. The full set can be found here.

Also, for those of you who have asked to see a photo of [...]

There are close to 100 photos. The full set can be found here and the beginning photo starts here.

Enjoy!

The Kindness Of Strangers

Life is resuming a normal pace after my surgery two weeks ago. My right arm is also improving and most of my pre-accident movement has returned to normal, although at times it is a bit painful. One thing I know for certain: my boxing days are over and I doubt I’ll ever be able to [...]

Discount Air

I hate flying and rarely do I have anything good to say about carriers, domestic or international. But, if you are ever in South East Asia and are looking for cheap, quality, on time air travel you can do no better than Airasia.com. The service was impeccable. The planes are all new Airbus jets. The [...]

Random Thought

Traveling with a physical disability gives one a unique window on a society’s mores and values. Often we are taught that places in Asia are less compassionate than the US. This is not true. But traveling with a physical disability–even a temporary one–also gives one insights into the quality of a place’s transportation infrastructure. Malaysia [...]

So, My Right Clavicle . . .

. . . or collar bone is broken in three places. I’m scheduled for surgery Monday morning. It’s going to be a few more days yet until we return to regular blogging. My apologies. It is good to be home, however. I’d post the photo of the x-ray but I can’t get the doc’s [...]

Lake Toba At Night

Labor: Lake Toba Photo Dump

Apropos of Numerian’s post on Greece and our discussion on the value of work and differing cultural perceptions of what, exactly, work is, I offer you this photo:

The above man is no doubt working hard, but so is this guy. And what about these folks? And how about this lady? Or these ladies? [...]

Birds Of South East Asia

So, I know not all of you will appreciate the bird photos, but hey, I like the birds. Call me a freak, I don’t mind. Thus far I have seen 24 new species of birds on this trip. Actually more, but I’ve only gotten decent photos of 24. If you are so inclined you [...]
