Tumbleweeds

I've returned from my journey to the Garden of the Gods in southern Illinois. I see that its quiet around the new blog. I don't have a stat counter, and I don't know if I'll set one up. I'm not sure if I even care. The fewer people read this the less I have to worry about being remotely diplomatic. The Colonel has something in the works, but that's as far as I'll go about that. SoLo invited me to join their blog, but I don't think the posse of negativity I seem to attract is needed over there. If I start writing for them it will be in a very minor role.

P.S. Yes, that's me in the picture. Although I've done a decent amount of traveling within the US, I had never before been to Shawnee National Forest, a mere 6 hours away from the QC. Its an amazing place, and I recommend everyone check it out, especially if you enjoy scampering around on rocks.
