13th Anniversary (II)

Day 1.

At the seawall, almost immediately upon arrival:

I know it looks rickety, but I was quite surprised at it's stability.

Not the best light, but I like shooting pelicans:

The requisite self-portrait:

Nearing dinner time, day 1:

We had ribeyes, asparagus, and potato leek soup:) I failed to photograph the meal :(

A few pics related to the house we rented last weekend at Manasota Key.

A friendly 'gator:

The house, a view from the seawall:

The view from the bedroom:

change of pace...

...even though I'm really riled up about politics, I'm going to ignore it all for at least today.

Hurricane Ida and the Bird. Not a band, but there's a video:

This is from our weekend last (13th anniversary weekend getaway) at Manasota Key.

Scared? Happy Halloween!

MEAD

This bottle of the 30brix went over very well at Fred's Oktoberfest party! He tells me I made some mead drinkers that night. That's my job. I'm a Meadvangelist.
SKOL!

I have 3 children, so I guess I feel the same thrice over.

Since the first video was apparently killed by YouTube, here's another posting.

Guns allowed in Arizona bars

Hey, barkeep, if you're so concerned that guns might be kept (by folks who aren't even drinking) in the vicinity of your bar, don't you worry about all the cars in your parking lot?

Mr. President, what office are you running for now?

A good article, Mr. Boreing.

Newsworthy?

I searched the front pages of ABC news, CBS news, and NBC (or is it MSNBC) news for information on the 9/12 march in D.C.

my summation:

ABC: an article expressing nothing of the substance of the protest, only questioning the tally of participants. was it 30,000 or 2,000,000? I got the feeling from the article that it was simply the author's way of complaining about the excitement surrounding the event. Don't take my word for it, read it yourself! Also, there were 5 mentions of Kanye West. Who? Oh, Kanye "George Bush doesn't care about black people!" West.

CBS: an "opinion" section article describing the protest against Big Government as "a gigantic temper tantrum". Again, read it yourself! To CBS' credit, I only spotted the above-mentioned Mr. West once.

(MS)NBC: Kanye West: 1. Rally in D.C. featuring tens if not hundreds of thousands of anti-big-government protestors: 0.

I attempted image searches at Bing, Google, and Yahoo for the term "9/12 march on washington"

My #1 results from each:

Bing:

AIDS poster.

Google:

Picture of ACORN activists surely from some other event.
