This webcam is quickly becoming my favorite. Check out the clouds flowing over the ridge like water.

There are places in the world which defy description and leave you speechless. Pictures, such as the ones below, do not even begin to do justice to the actual experience of being there. The vast grandeur and majesty of the western National Parks, the medieval splendor and charm of Europe, the warm and inviting beaches of the Caribbean, are all places which are best seen in person. Travel is usually an expensive undertaking, but it’s money well spent, for you will never truly understand a place until you’ve been there yourself. Start saving now. 😉

I’ve posted sunrise images from webcams before. Now here’s one from my own backyard. No place like home.

Tonight the Patriot’s secondary couldn’t cover their grandmothers, Kevin Faulk couldn’t catch a ball if he was the North Pole and the ball was a magnet, and Tom Brady couldn’t hit Boston Harbor from the backside of Anthony’s Pier 4. On the other hand, Indianapolis looked to be on cruise control. I swear Tony Dungy has them play to win, but never to embarrass. The only consolation was watching Adam “Show Me the Money” Vinatieri miss two field goals. And the Pats couldn’t even take advantage of that. 🙁

This is an old brain twister, but it still makes you think.

Bet it’s cold, though.

That’s the claim made by the observatory at the summit of Mt. Washington. And today, at least, I believe them.

Update: It’s getting worse.

Some months ago I asked a bunch of friends if there was any doubt who would win the World Series, American League or National League. It was unanimous that the American League team would win, as the AL was trouncing the NL in games at that time. Fast forward 3 months and I’m watching the St. Louis Cardinals celebrate a World Series win. Okay, so I was wrong. Detroit literally threw this series away, the pitchers most notably.

But I’m glad to see Tony LaRussa win a series. He deserves it and I’m glad the Cards management stuck with him. 

As an aside, Fox’s coverage was terrible. The announcers were obviously biased. Inexcusable for a supposedly “balanced and fair” network.

Some days I just can’t deal with the highway, especially when it’s raining. So today I had a somewhat solitary ride home. Very relaxing. 🙂

At the risk of boring you, I have just one more shuttle pic which I think deserves mention. This was taken as it approached the space station. The links below the image are for wallpaper suitable versions.
