And people wonder how anyone can doubt the “crisis” of global warming… The Washington Post reviews the work of top United Nations scientists, November 20: “The United Nations’ top AIDS scientists plan to acknowledge this week that they have long overestimated both the size and the course of the epidemic, which they now believe has…
Today was the first day in about three weeks where we actually had the opportunity to get out and do something fun. We decided to head up to Lockport to visit the Lockport Caves. I wasn’t really expecting much, but we were both pleasantly surprised. You get about an hour tour that gives you some…

This is already “old” news, but I thought I’d mention it anyways… the Paderewski Drive approach to the Central Terminal (that’s the part between the circle and where the parking lot officially begins) has been repaved!

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.
