I inquired what happened and was told that there was an explosion in a lab the previous night.

Wow– it blew out and charred four huge windows. Very dramatic.

Thankfully no one was nearby at the time and there were no injuries.

In Central Market in Dallas, TX

Strongly featured in this set are 2 stray dogs which befriended us upon our arrival in Quintay, and then followed, entertained, and protected us for the next several hours, until we got on the bus to go home.

Upon closer inspection, we discover that the cleavage was photoshopped onto the wrong model– the little girl instead of the mother.

However, this Lady of Justice is different– she took her blindfold off, and doesn’t seem to have much interest in her scales.

The statue is decades old, maybe as much as a century. I’ve heard several vague stories about why the statue is like this– a bitter gift, from either a neighboring country or a former wealthy criminal– or the artist commissioned to make the statue was frustrated with not getting paid, so made the statue as such.

None of the stories explain why in the world the city would allow such a statue to be installed in front of their courthouse.

Here are some photos of the Akley dioramas and some fosils that I took with my trusty camera phone. Not too shabby for an ancient phone from 2003. And as an added bonus, an anti-circumcision activism poster at the end.

The first 4 are: my sister Natalie, two photos of my mom, and me, at the bachelor party. Then it’s Natalie with my uncle’s new wife’s dog, Blueberry (cutest dog in the world. also, blind. going on walks is interesting.) Then me and my uncle, in the Roots store, where he just bought me a canadian Roots t-shirt to commemorate the whole affair.

A convertable filled with various items; a dessert my sister Natalie made; Ghostface [Killah]; me; Natalie’s doctorfriend Tereza with a knife; Natalie with her doctorfriend Shawn; Simon Fink, Fiancé of my friend Becky; and someone in the UNC Comm Arts department office with impressive dedication to Halloween.

A couple bumper stickers on a truck in Manhattan. A closeup of the facial features of the terrorist depicted in the bumper sticker. My friend Emily, who let me crash in her place.

A kid in the mall sitting in the lap of a statue of a kid in a wheelchair. Inside my car at night. Chris. Dogs playing in the fountain in front of the baker institute. sister Natalie in a store in Green Bay. sister Julie in same store. coworker from former employer Center Line Productions Meredith with out-of-town sister Virginia. camera-lit bar photography of Virginia, Dave B (another Center Line coworker), me.
