what the...?

I was driving around for work and I saw this car and I had to risk life and limb to snap a picture of it. It's what appears to be a Dodge Dynasty complete with spoiler, decals, american flags flying on either side of the car, mud flaps and, yes, that's a rat tail hanging out of the trunk. That is one sweet ride!

The saddest part is that this car wouldn't be so perfectly decked out unless the owner honestly though it was cool. This next picture I took tonight right before class.

I was doing my business and I noticed these rails on either side of the urinal. I assume they're for ADA compliance, but I think they're taking it too far. I can imagine someone using rails for support in a private restroom or even a stall, but who would wheel up to the urinal and grab these things? On the flip side, they do look kind of cool. I'll have to fake an injury so I can have cool space-age industrial tubing coming out of the wall on either side of the john.

pictures

These are a few pictures I have taken. I thought they were pretty cool so I thought I'd share them.

This is an Arizona landscape. I have no idea where I was. We were rappelling and I took the picture from the top of the cliff.

This is actually a hotel lobby in California. I just thought it looked cool.

I took this at the phoenix convention center. The way I see it, the soft shadows create a sort of relaxed calm feeling which contrasts nicely with the busy world outside. If I sound hokey it's because I'm a recovering architecture major.

I took this picture right outside our old apartment. I think it's an oleander plant. All those tiny things are insects! I couldn't believe it. I don't know what they are, but they gave me a great opportunity to play with the macro feature on my camera.

This is a zoomed-in portion of the previous picture.

This picture is hilarious. I took it from my back patio. It looks like a pretty normal picture, but if you look closely, there's a guy doing some serious dumpster-diving. If you still don't see him, here's a blown-up view:

One man's garbage is another man's treasure...

ephalent

This is my daughter Adalyn, arguably the cutest girl in the world and creator of the word ephalent as well as other great words like oppalope (envelope) and tac (cat). We've got a regular Shakespeare on our hands! I've been threatening to start a blog for a while, but never got around to it. My wife started a blog recently and I'm totally jealous. It is crazy late and I'm going to bed.
