Our entire drive to New Orleans from Gainesville.

In twenty-three minutes.

Wow! You drive so quickly, yet you keep getting passed by other vehicles... Just how fast are they going???


(I thought it was amusing to see all the people walk by on accelerated speed, as you were stopped in front of a brick wall...)
Hey, neat sunrise/daylight...

I like the effect on the clouds.

 
^ Not shopped - apparently the banana was coated with a layer of wax that was then decorated.  Note the curved line running up the "zucchini" in the first picture - that's the angle between two of the banana's five sides.
 

 
Behold the creation of "orange juice":
 

 
Tip for a waiter who apparently gave good service but was annoying somehow?:
 

 
Patience (or lots of accomplices) required for assembly:

Not sure of the feasibility of this on in practise - smell and difference in consistency...

Miss Annie just about wet herself from laughter!!! (as did I)

Building stuff feels good, even if it is made from prefabricated parts. My new computer desk is finally put together after receiving the replacement for the broken part shown (which was part of step 1 so I couldn't even start until it was delivered). The mat underneath is homemade from self stick vinyl tiles on 2mil plastic sheeting.

I really like your idea for the chair mat! Excellent!

So do I. I use a carpet, at my desk, but I've worn out holes in it from having my feet always on the same spots...

Are those vinyl tiles somewhat flexible, or does it give you a hardened surface to sit and roll your chair on?

This is an ad on a bus in Montreal, for a local private college. She reminds me of Devyn, for some reason...

It is completely stiff while on the wood floor.

Kate and i plan to take the girls to the exhibit sometime this month - it runs through January.

Impressive!

Duh.

That looks really good. I think the tiles would break up over time in an old house with uneven floorboards (like mine), but it's easily replaced.

I just hate when I do that.

Very fine portrait.

Not the most photogenic subject...

I once shot myself from across a garage. 1/4" x 40 Rockwell aluminum plate with a ceramic covering WILL NOT ONLY STOP a .36 caliber bullet, but will RICOCHET IT RIGHT BACK!!! I was out for about 30 minutes... smacked me dead center in the forehead... do not attempt this at home... like I did...

Ja, es Kris Kringle Ist!!!

According to a friend who used to do Santa every year, commercial store-Santa costumes come with three pairs of pants.

Couple of times he needed more than that to get through a shift.

’Twas Brillo, and the slather stoves
Did pyre and gimbals in the warble:
All mimes were the governesses,
And the mope breaths roundabout.

“Beware the Cabinetwork, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jujube bird, and shun
The frumpish Bipartisanship!”

He took his corporal sword in hand;
Long time the manometer foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumulus tree
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in raffish thought he stood,
The Biweeklies, with eyes of flame,
Came sniffling through the tautology wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The warplane blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberer?
Come to my arms, my squeamish boy!
O firebox day! Scallion! Callahan!”
He chortled in his joy.

’Twas barelegged, and the smithy stoves
Did gyve and gimlet in the wale:
All Mimi were the breakfront,
And the heme rats outgrew.
