mish-mash of the past

Provo, UT

heading towards the Provo canyon------>






the place where i was attacked by a million overgrown mosquitoes at night...seriously, i thought i was in the middle of a beehive. they just came out of nowhere. i couldnt see them but the sound was sickening, and they were so thick, it was like being in a cloud of humidity. i couldnt move without feeling them everywhere-------->

expenses

more than a few thousand dollars worth of receipts. really.

pillows

i've always been a one pillow kinda guy. ...not that i think anything less of people who sleep with multiple pillows, of course. its just that i prefer to be loyal to just one.
keep it simple.
one pillow.

during my ventures this summer, the whole multiple pillow lifestyle has pretty much been forced upon me. everywhere i go, there they are. all seeking attention. its as if all hotel owners are all multiple pillow people and trying to convert ME to their multiple-pillowism.
at first, there was much resistance. the extras would be thrashed and thrown to the way-side like rag dolls.

but now, i gotta tell ya...
i get it.
i get the whole multiple pillow thing.
i think i even kinda like it.
and apparently all those pillows like me, too!

the list continues...

Annoyances:
*losing things
*realizing you had something even though you thought it was lost
*finding once-important things that are now of no use
*not finding the important things

*bug splatter
*splatter that streaks when you turn your wipers on
*splatter that doesnt come off with wiper fluid
*cleaning the windshield only to have fresh splatter 2 miles down the road
*debating whether its worth cleaning the windshield

*one way streets

Clearly the best public sign modification - Ever.

April Wedding

Incredibly Useless Info

i have the darkest tan of my life
...which only means that i have the sweeetest farmer's tan of my life
...and some sick tiger feet - thanks to my sandals

photographed 35 cities in 20 states

driven 5,300 miles since June 13th.

flown 5,700 miles

on my second rental car - the current one squeaks and rattles and drives me to insanity

XM radio is the savior of my sanity - tho it is the cause of the rattle. ...quite the incestuous relationship

i have come to realize that i hate the following:
-ONE WAY STREETS
-second hand smoke indoors
-fast food burgers
-anything fast food
-crumbs
-clouds
-rainy clouds
-wires
-wires of any kind
-squeaks and rattles


things i cannot live without:
-rumble strips on roads
-gas light
-wifi
-18 million electrical outlets
-a little british woman telling me when to turn (i.e. GPS)


more to come eventually

I was told "NO MORE PICTURES OF DUCKS!". This is the result of my reaction...

20oz burger (1.25 pounds for the numerically challenged)...

...didn't stand a chance...
(and, yes, the fork and knife were required)
