Trip to Alaska '07 on May 31, 2009 in Photos

Crystal and I take tons of trips. In fact, our relationship is pretty much one big road trip. For a period she was living in Alaska and I flew up to visit her.

Me on Public Adminsitration on May 28, 2009 in Politics

From my "Foundations in Public Administration" course:With all the pages dedicated to the subject, I was most impressed with the simple definition provided by Clarkes H. Levine, Guy Peters, and Frank J. Thompson: "Public Administration is centrally concerned with the organization of government policies and programs as well as the behavior of officials (usually nonelected) formally responsible for their conduct."I...

The Blonde Jews on May 23, 2009 in Humor

So I'm sitting in the Doctor's office when I notice a "Bible Story" book that somebody left behind. The following picture represents the type of illustrations that fill the book: I find it amusing how the characters are depicted as little white, blue eyed blonde children as opposed to brown- and black-skinned biblical Mesopotamians. Hell; least you can do is...

A Drive Through Atlanta on May 6, 2009 in Society

While in Atlanta a few days ago, I decided to take a couple shots of some recent development occurring near the City's Loring Heights and Home Park districts. I've seen my share of housing development but it has been the first time that I've ever seen a project with a scope and design such as this.It's obvious that the designers...

A Day in Sylacauga on May 5, 2009 in Personal

Two weeks ago, I spent a day in the Central Alabama town of Sylacauga. The city name is pronounced sila-caga, which sounds kind of funny for anybody who speaks Spanish.The interior of a marble workshop. Sylacauga is located on top of a 25 mile-long slab of marble. An ice cream plant. An eagle head marble statue. A statue in progress....

Photo of the Day on May 2, 2009 in Photo of the Day

In an act of sheer boredom, I ate almost all of the chocolate candies being passed around the meeting table. I discovered that the aluminum wrapping could be compacted, shaped and pressed into sturdy little rectangles, scraped against the table to create a smooth surface, and then decorated with an impressed circle with the help of a retracted ball-point pen....
