Road to Nowhere

This is what they call a "hanging bridge," basically a tourist attraction that gets you to walk through the rainforest with other loudmouth American's shouting "How come I ain't seen a goddamned monkey yet?"

But it's a cool picture eh?

"But with waistlines and anxiety already expanding across the nation, some observers already question whether it's wise to combine two key sources of these problems -- caffeine and calories."
I challenge you to watch this whole thing

Irish dancing

So, I know I haven't posted anything from Dublin yet, but here's a quick video of my favorite street performer:



It's no Riverdance, but it's just as enjoyable.

Hope everyone's doing well!

NORMAN, Oklahoma (AP) -- The pilot of a TV news helicopter used the wind from the aircraft's rotor to push a stranded deer to safety after it lost its footing on a frozen lake and could not get up.

A small crowd had gathered to watch the deer struggling, its hooves repeatedly slipping, near the shore of Lake Thunderbird around 4 p.m. Wednesday.

With the helicopter's camera rolling, KWTV pilot Mason Dunn used the wind from the rotor to push the deer, initially sending it into a break in the ice where the animal managed to hold onto the ice with its front legs. (Watch the deer slip, slide and glide )

Dunn then lowered the helicopter and the wind sent the deer sliding on its belly across the ice until it reached shore and scampered into a nearby wooded area.

Visiting family in Texas


I'm in Birmingham now. Tomorrow I'm going to Washington DC, then New York, then Costa Rica. This picture of my younger siblings seems like it belongs on a Christmas card.
