Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner, but I needed a bit of a break after Oktoberfest and the Bills game Sunday. I was glad to see so many of you fellow bloggers on Saturday! I got to meet a couple new ones, including Deeva from the 716 (whom I thank for introducing me to…
Amanda and I have been busy the past two weeks or so preparing some music to perform at my Aunt’s wedding Saturday. We’re hoping to be able to record it soon after and put it up here. This should make Chris Byrd very happy, as he’s bugged me several times to write more music and…
People assume that Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch is guilty of a hit and run because he refuses to talk to the police about the investigation. He hasn’t been arrested for only one reason – there’s not enough evidence to do so. That’s why DA Frank Clark is so interested in getting him to…
Scott Adams, who write Dilbert, also has a blog. Some days, it’s just too damn funny, like today’s entry about the death of al-Zarqawi. This is a classic yet rare win-win-win-win scenario. The new Iraqi government is happy because he’s dead. The Americans are happy because he’s dead. Even his friends and coworkers are happy….

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
