top of the world

Here's me, at the top of the world. Well, relatively close to it: as close as I can get in quick driving distance from Laramie. I had high hopes of being the only one on Medicine Bow Peak, but someone was there when I got there, a guy from Seattle. Then his wife and their two boys. It's hardly lonely at the top. Still, though, I only saw them and one group of three older ladies (out takin' pictures of wildflowers): a total of 7 people in six miles of trail. It's better in Wyoming.Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with the chipmunk look I've got going on, either. Here's a picture where I'm not effing-up the view:


Spectacular, huh? I'm pretty sure that I take the same three pictures every time I go on the hike. But it's just as spectacular each trip, so I feel like I gotta take pictures, even though I've already got six at home just like this one.

It's sort of exciting (and relatively rare) for me to find three different frames that I like. Now the hard part is narrowing it down to one. After having asked a couple of the staff at the eye doctor's, my roommate, and Stephanie, an early leader is emerging. But I'm open to other feedback..... Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Comments?

citizens arrest

What are the rules for citizens arrest? Specifically, if there's a girl talking on her cell phone, with half her car windows frosted over, who doesn't wait her turn at the four-way, would I get in trouble if I pulled her out of her car and slapped her with her phone a couple of times? I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

So I'm now going to post a bit about the DEMOLITION DERBY, which actually happened the weekend before my trip out here to CA. Backing up even further: in the few days leading up to the DEMOLITION DERBY, it rained pretty heavily, even producing a bit of flooding. This was bad news for the derby: the cars had a tough, tough time getting much traction in 10 inches of mud. The result: a not very demolishing derby. Slo-mo derby. Cars that were disqualified not because they were intentionally trying to stay out of the action but because they were axle-deep in mud and couldn't make a hit. Lame-oh: nowhere near the fun of DEMOLITION DERBY 2005. I had promised several people that DERBY '07 would be barrels of fun. Instead, we left early. Here's a pic that Kaijsa took of the contestants, though: Annalee said she didn't make it to the derby because of the big rains in the days leading up to the derby. The current of run-off was strong enough, as she was driving home, to rip of
