Cornwall, Vermont USA. Citizens doing their duties on Election Day, 2004. Note the paper ballots, yes, in the 21st century! I thought humans couldn't vote without computers. Be warned neighbors • Be vigilant! • For you, election haiku:
On paper ballots
freely cast; fully counted.
One voter, one vote.
- But of course there's Stalin's haiku view:
It's not the people
who vote that count, but rather
those who count the votes.
This is the holy trinity of food. I have a new favorite place. Sure, I still love Disneyland and all, but Chompie’s New York Deli is truly the happiest place on earth. I have been counting down the days until I got to eat here. Not just since we planned this trip, or knew this trip was happening, but from the time I learned about Chompie’s to just whenever I knew we’d be coming back to Arizona. No matter what the trip was for or when it was, I was going to eat here. We went yesterday and both went for the regular order of Jewish Sliders. The Jewish sliders are lean brisket, a potato latke and monterey jack cheese on a challah roll - three of ‘em. But they do also make Western Sliders (brisket, onion string and cheddar) and Breakfast Sliders (turkey sausage, latke, and a fried egg). The Jewish Sliders were out of this world amazing. They’ve been built up in my head with nothing but the highest of expectations of perfection since I first learned about them and they lived up to every bit of that expectation. So, when we came back today, we just had to try the other sliders, but didn’t want to give up the Jewish Slider experience. Thankfully, they not only sell them in regular orders of three, but a ala carte. So what you see here is one each of the above described sliders. Each one as fabulous and amazing as the other. I really couldn’t pick it favorite, it would be like trying to pick a favorite child. Ultimately, they are each sheer awesomeness for their own reasons and in their own specially epic ways. Where part of me wishes I lived closer to a Chompie’s or that a Chompie’s was closer to where I lived, it’s safer for me if that never happens, because I’d probably weigh about 500 pounds. Because while what you see here are their sliders from the restaurant, they also have a deli section in the same building. Fresh bagels, challah, sourdough, marble rye, different savory deli items and case of wonderment in the form of pastries. Cannoli, éclairs, black and white cookies, baklava, rainbow cookies, rugalah, and more and more and more. Actually, when I opened the door the first time, the very first thing I saw were the rainbow cookies, I literally jumped and down and clapped and ran to the bakery case. Chompie’s is a tiny bit of heaven on earth.
Johnson St. Bridge, Victoria, BC
The old bridge is not the most appealing connection for bicycle traffic heading into or out of downtown, though it counts probably more trips than any other link of any route anywhere on Vancouver Island.
While some critics insisted, and some still do, that this narrow, steel grated deck bridge could be redesigned to accommodate more supportive facilities and two lanes of traffic (though the two vehicle travel lane model would fail for other reasons), looking at the crossing in action will tell a different story.
Lanes are only 10 feet wide and struggle to accommodate truck and transit traffic at the best of times. Cyclists crossing the bridge are afforded, at least in law, the luxury of taking the lane by deliberate instruction, and most drivers yield the right of way for the brief few seconds they are on the bridge. Still the design of the deck and the occasional unsafe passing movement, (not to mention the no doubt too frequent excess speed (limits are posted at 30 km/h) gives more than a few cyclists pause.
Even if it were paint alone defining the lanes, vehicle lanes would be woefully tight and bike lanes no better than standards from the '90s, and nothing available for physical barriers or shy distance from vertical obstructions.
Visualizing the space, it should not be difficult to understand that the voice of the cycling community (at least at the time of decision), spoke loudly in favour of replacement, supporting a more assertive design that will provide more room on the road deck, as well as a dedicated multi-use connection that will offer a little more than half of the space one can see on the bridge in the picture. The bike lanes themselves will provide dedicates space, a more sympathetic surface and, ultimately, links to and from the surrounding road network that connects them between various trip generators on either side.

After a snowball fight at some ridiculous time in the morning (obviously after many drinks) I took this snap of The Count through a fogged up lens. I've done nothing to the picture, other than B&W it.
There are times where bad days outnumber good days.

One off the many views during my 2,5 hour hike. Hundred off cows with cowbells making music. Very strange in an very quit enviroment! Have a great sunday
Sangaste Castle, in Estonia, built on the example of the Windsor Palace.
In 1866 the last count of Sangaste, Friedrich Georg Magnus von Berg took over the manor from his father. The family then lived in an old manor house. Berg's father hadn't allowed spending money for building a new house, so only after his death did Friedrich Berg start to build a new main house. From his ideas developed while visiting the grand castles of England - Windsor and Balmoral, architect Otto Pius Hippius made projects of a new palace.
Berg though, wanted to have a real castle and big rooms with different windows (look at the windows!) The building phase lasted from 1874 to 1881. The bricks were made in the manor, the granite was brought from Finland and wood with other materials from Germany and Riga. The new castle was similar to Windsor palace on the outside, but a variety of different styles were used inside - Gothic, Korintos, Spanish, Roman and English.
I lost count on how many time did I try to capture this...:-) I had to get somebody to blow it since I could not rely on the natural wind...This one is the best shot, so far...:-(

Unfortunately not too sharp (50 mm/1.8 and just learning how to use it) but this kinda adds to the Nosferatu/yawn-vibe of Titus, i like to think.
Morwen: Can we use this in Mexico?
Me: No. You have .60 of a Euro... 5 Francs... 1.50 Pounds, 50 yen, a Greek coin, and a Camp Snoopy game token.
So.. no I am not really doing a 365, but kinda. I decided since today is the first day Todd is away in Korea I would start a count down until his tour is over there. Just when he comes on flickr he can see a little glimpse of Aspen and my day while he's away.
Been a stormy day filled with rain a thunder. I was able to sneak out for a few pictures though while I could just hear thunder in the distance. We honestly didn't get very far though, Todd I finally heard that lighting within 5miles warning. Just wanted to say it sounds insanely creepy on this base, cause you hear it delayed in different speakers around the base, and it has an erie creepy echo, especially mixed with the thunder in the background and dark skys. Almost made me feel like that scary movie silent hill when the sirens go off I felt like I needed to run inside to safety.

Chinese tea cups and an abacus, on display at the Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Centre, at Bangkok's Chinatown.
My grandmother still has an abacus exactly like that :) In fact, she whipped it out of her many cupboards just after I told her about this photo. She tried teaching me how to count with it, but as with all things math-related, I still don't have a clue.
Lightweight and slim, this leather journal is great as a trip journal. 40 pages (80 counting both sides) 8 x 6" is-- in my opinion-- an ideal size for short trip so you don't have to mix other writings in with trip reflections.

For more than seven centuries, Fabriano has been famous the world over for its production of the finest art and writing papers that embody the perfect marriage of innovation and tradition.
Papermaking at Fabriano mills began in 1283 and the remaining examples of paper that exist from this time indicate the advanced state of papermaking at the mills.
Artists and writers such as Giambattista Bodoni, Albrecht Dürer, Michelangelo, Raphael and Francisco Goya have praised Fabriano papers for their unequaled quality. Works from these artists that exist today are a testament to the enduring quality of Fabriano paper.
Endpaper: Egyptian Papyrus
Papyrus was, and continues today to be handmade from the papyrus reed that grows in freshwater marshes along the river Nile, though today this growth is rare and controlled. Egyptians considered it the "everlasting" paper because it has been found in perfect condition in tombs dating back to 2700 B.C.
