Just another elk jam down at the Estes Park Conoco station…

One of the crappy mobile phone pictures I took today – Tomasz came as the Tooth Fairy with a little purse, wings, and combat boots. He was very popular with the guys for some reason. Tom was in the back as Fred Flintstone. Annamaria was a scarecrow, and Nancy was crouched down in front, dressed as a chicken and possibly pretending to lay an egg.

… they’re the American uniform at home and abroad. UPDATE: Just wanted to add what inspired this: And Far Away | Footwear that should be burned and buried The way American tourists dress drives me crazy. Khaki shorts, worn-out and drab-colored t-shirt (or shirt), and the infamous sandlas, often with socks. Damn. It’s as if this “uniform†comes stamped out with their visas. I’ve never been to the US so I don’t know if that’s how they dress in their daily lives, but I sure hope not. Yes, well, many Americans dress like this in our daily lives, because it’s…

Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: We All Mourn By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 10 Jun ’09, 8.15pm CDT PST Inspired by Pollster.com’s post This is Personal Pop was having none of it. He walked away from me and wandered up to the museum staffer standing at the head of the long line leading to the elevators that takes all visitors to the museum exhibits. I thought for a moment that Pop was going to ask directions. I was wrong. He thrust out his arm in the direction of the staffer, displaying the number the Nazis tattooed on his…

Overnighting in Seaside, walking the Prom UPDATE: Seaside, Oregon is definitely a place I’d visit again, perhaps as a base for exploring and photographing the Oregon Coast. We picked it at random as it was about as far as we felt driving the first day, after going through Astoria and Tillamook (did stop for some squeaky-cheese curds, which I worked on all day). Seaside is one of those places that’s got some authentic charm and history, although there are a lot of big new high-rises along the prime beachfront spots of its classic “Prom” or promenade. You can see the…

Via: Flickr Title: BLTT&C at Hump’s Cafe in Clatskanie By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 26 May ’09, 3.30pm CDT PST UPDATE: We drove towards the Oregon Coast and down towards San Francisco in kind of a random fashion, and next time we’ll do it a little differently to minimize long driving days and maximize hanging out in interesting places days. We stopped at this funky local place after crossing a bridge from a very industrial area of southern Washington into Oregon. It was a pleasant surprise once inside, full of quirky decor and homey touches. The…

According to Pam’s House Blend, Larry Stickney of Protect Marriage Washington has a Twitter follower FAIL: Yep, two (2) followers. No SEO guys? No life coaches? No Bacon/Anti- Bacon bots? Not an impressive showing of support for withholding marriage rights on “moral” grounds. Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: Larry Stickney Has Two (2) Followers By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 26 May ’09, 11.10am CDT PST UPDATE: Added the link to PHB that I couldn’t do as easily from the iPhone with the image in the mix, and while grabbing it, checked Mr. Stickney’s Twitter page. Still no followers,…

Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: Golden Gardens Sunset By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 25 May ’09, 10.31pm CDT PST UPDATE: When I lived in Seattle, I sometimes rode my bike or the bus out to Golden Gardens Park in the afternoon. It’s just a really nice place to spend some time. David and I walked along, smelling the smoke from a number of campfires on the beach (the parks department provides big iron fireboxes). It was the end of the Memorial Day weekend, but plenty of people were there to grill, picnic, chill, or even get married (there…
