Attack of the Killer Geese!

Click HERE to see full-res version. See if you can count the geese.

Hundreds of Snow Geese in flight over Kansas. This was just one of several huge flocks in a flight line that stretched for miles and miles.

I found Jesus...

just chillin' in the alley behind my house. Also, for all the fans of the movie "The Hangover" someone wrote sucia on him, which in Spanish means dirty. So that in fact makes him a Dirty Baby Jesus.

Portland Parking Meter.

Portland, OR - - - Polaroid 340

I find this works almost every single time, mostly because the meter maid parking attendant will believe you to have big brass ones and will respect your gumption.

Mobile Home.

Kendall, KS. --- Polaroid 340

This was an old city bus transformed into living quarters for a local fellow. The bus/house is a spacious 300 square feet complete with wood burning stove. No bathroom, but outhouse near by.

Twisty.

Bacon is so hot right now.

It's official, this country is more obsessed with bacon right now than at any point ever before. Sure, bacon has always been popular, but never at this scale. The interntet and pop-culture have tacon taken a simple breakfast staple and transformed it into the en vogue food of the moment. A few years back everyone was scared to eat bacon because of high fat, high sodium, high cholesterol and now people are putting it in everything; popcorn, mayonaise, bread, chewing gum, soap, air freshener, cupcakes, beer and chocolate just to name a few. Of course one of the major reasons for this new found love affair with bacon is exactly because it is so bad for us. It's the element of danger that makes it so appealing. If a prestigious medical journal came out tomorrow and proclaimed "Bacon = Healthy!" we would have to find some other unhealthy side item to gravitate to. My vote would be fried cheese! I would pretty much eat fried cheese with anything. Perhaps fried cheese wrapped in bacon? This post just made me really really ridiculously hungry.

500th Post!

Nanny Goat. Kendall, KS

After just over four years of diligent on again/off again posting, I've hit the 500 post mark. What does this mean? Well, I'm not really sure. I do know that the seven people who actually visit this site must have run out of things to do on the internet long ago. I also know that my investors are probably just a little miffed that the $75,000 they gave me to build what they thought would be a very profitable porn site hasn't quite produced the returns that they had expected. Who knew a photoblog wouldn't be a real cash cow? I keep telling them to be patient, but Mexican drug kingpins and Chechen Rebels aren't exactly known for their patience. Thanks for your continued support and feedback is always sometimes appreciated.

p.s. If anyone by the name of Javier or Sergei ask if you've seen me, tell them I'm away on business. Thanks!

Mangy.

Mangy farm cat is not amused.

Oh, home on the range.

Antelope on the Colorado prairie. This is not them posing so much as it is them freaking out. A few seconds later and they are bounding and leaping away at top speed.

Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Appreciated or not this guy still looks really pissed off.

That's just grate.

Birthday Breakfast.

I have really been trying to eat well again. I had fallen off the wagon before and during the move to Denver. I have been pretty successful lately in reigning in my bad eating habits. But when it's your birthday you gotta do what you gotta do. And I gotta do these made from scratch mini mixed berry filled jelly donuts. It's my birthday and I'll binge if I want to. Binge if I want to!

Majestic Snowcapped Dingleberries.

I seriously have no idea if these are a type of berry. I just thought it looked cool. Also, you should totally google the meaning of dingleberry. I love the fact that there is an official definition of the word.

Guttercicle.

Yeah, you probably shouldn't stand under a 12ft long icicle.

Pyromaniac Scooter!

Click HERE for much larger version!


I found this to be one of the coolest custom paint jobs ever. It brings back fond memories of my pyromaniac youth growing up in Texas. Every year around the fourth of July, I would go out and spend all my money on Black Cats and other assorted firecrackers. If it had the capacity to burn, blind, deafen or blow off a finger and could be had for under five dollars I would do any number of foolish things with it. Good times.

Caution...dramatic lighting ahead.

Versigtig, Oprez, Achtung, Cuidado, Ingat, Attenzione, Varúð, Προσοχή, Tahadhari, Rabhadh, Внимание, 注意, Prekosyon, Dikkat, सावधानी, Rhybuddiad, Voorzichtig! Now you can say caution in 17 different different languages. Which 17 languages is anybody's guess.

Don't Pee on Me.

Either dogs can't read too well or they're just plain mean.

Don't go chasing waterfalls.

Frozen waterfall in the Rockies. ¡Que majestuoso!

Clear Creek.

This is the creek that flows directly into Coors Brewery. Taste the rockies! Also, you should probably know that it's not just the Rockies you are tasting because I saw some dude taking a leak in the creek a little ways down. Maybe that's what gives Coors it's distinct flavor?

I always feel like somebody's watching me.

Every morning on my way to work, I walk by the apartment at the base of the stairs and there sits this little big hefty fella. He just sits and stares at the outside world watching the passersby... and knowingly stares into the depths of your soul. He knows what you were doing last night.

First Snow.

Shark in a jar.

I wonder who the first person was that thought "You know what the world needs? Shark in a jar!". Did they try other animals first? Panda in a Jar? Wallaby in a Jar? Maybe Giraffe in a Jar? They could call that one The Jarrafe!

You too can be the proud owner of your very own Shark in a Jar for the low low price of $29.99!!!

New Years Resolutions.

It's that time a year when everyone starts making those oh so fun New Years resolutions. I know, I know all you cool kids out there don't believe in such things as it means buying in to a mass cultural idea, thus robbing it of any sense of originality. I, however am a goal oriented gent, and I'm a big fan of them. The trick to a good resolution is not picking something too broad like "I want to loose weight", that makes it difficult to reach your goal. You need to have actual benchmarks like "I want to loose 10 pounds by March" or "I want to eliminate sodas from my diet". Also there is no need to stop at just one resolution. You have three hundred sixty-five days use, so make the most of that time to better yourself.

My 2011 Resolutions:

*Read 30 or more Books (I will not count children's books. Maybe.)
*Summit 4 or more 14ers (I promise not to just drive my car to the top and say I hiked there. Maybe.)
*Finish a Triathlon (Will they let you complete the swimming portion while wearing arm floaties?)
*Spend 20 nights sleeping under the stars (Nightlight and bear mace optional)
*Bicycle a Century (Riding 100 miles doesn't seem too bad as long as the whole course is downhill.)

Happy New Year!!!
