Comin´ Home
I won´t even try to figure out where to begin. We´ve seen the Toltek ruins in Tula and while there found a hole in the wall eatery in town called Parrillada Country that was a tasty treasure. We Strolled the richly historic streets of the colonial section of Queretaro and marveled at its remarkable collection of churches big and [...]

Mmmmmmyoooooooozik Nonstop
The first music I ever purchased was Queen’s “A Night at the Opera.” I’d spent the summer of 1976 in Hollywood with my Admiral shortwave transistor radio going crazy and stopping whatever I was doing every time to listen enthralled by “Bohemian Rhapsody” whenever it would play on 94.7 KMET.

Am I Mellowing Out?
First comes me changing my evil road warrior ways and instead of confronting/berating every vehicle that excessively encroaches on mine and my bike’s space, I come up with this entirely verbose and overtly diplomatic manner of raising awareness.
Now this morning as I’m moving the cans down to the curb for trash pick-up, I encounter a [...]

Urban Wildlife: Awesome Raccoon Encounter
Ranger put on her special bark this morning to alert us that there was something besides a squirrel up in the loquat tree. Sure enough, there was:

Vidz
Susan and I took our inner children to see Wall•E — LOVED it.

Botanically Speaking
Since I’m still pretty much punked out and recovering from me being a poor hydrater during the latter half of my 64-mile bike ride yesterday there isn’t a whole lot happening around here other than I’m wandering around the backyard with my cam complaining about how hot it is to no one in particular while [...]
