It’s funny. I just heard a local news organization say something to the effect of “we’re bringing to bear the most comprehensive election coverage ever in Houston.” Blah blah, internet…blah blah…podcast…blah blah live blogging…etc, etc, etc. The punchline is – the projected turn-out at the polls is around 10%. I’d say the news organizations can [...]
HOLY SHIT THE COLORADO ROCKIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES! I am shocked and don’t have much to say other than I REALLY hope they win the series. I’m not a huge sports fan (I had to add “sports” as a tag just for this post), but I consider them my hometown team and [...]

This little lizard was climbing on a locked box of doggie poop bags posted throughout out apartment complex. I’ve been seeing a lot of lizards crawling around Houston lately.

I’m talking about the moist air and the cool evening breezes that make me appreciate Houston every now and then. The palm trees across [...]

A description of what she is doing from her blog: On January 3, 2003, I began this photoblog to visually document the residents, visitors, plants, [...]
So it’s been raining for the past two days straight here in Houston. There are numerous sections of highway around the city that have been closed because of flooding. It’s also pretty depressing to drive to work in the dark and come home in the dark for a few days in a row. The sky [...]
I took this picture in October of 2003 of some dripping water on the underside of St Mary’s Glacier just outside Denver, Colorado. I had it saved as my computer desktop at work for nearly a year. I think was hoping the cool pixels of snow and ice would cool me off in the hot [...]
Justine and I went for a long walk today at Glenwood Cemetery in Houston, TX. We live pretty near the cemetery and talked about it last night at dinner with Ted & Leslie. It’s quite an impressive place. We both walked for over an hour through the cemetery and still did not see everything. Oddly [...]
