Spending the next two nights at two historic forest fire lookout towers ... one in Idaho and this one in Montana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5QcJzH3hn4

I forgot to mention that I bought an unnecessarily-expensive toy recently ... doing my bit for capitalism! And it's lots of fun, besides.

In case any of you don't realize what a tough life I have, I thought I'd post a photo of the place I had to visit for work yesterday. (Twelve miles of high-mountain hiking ...didn't see another soul all day.) But I'm sure the cubicles at your offices are very nice places to spend the day, too. :-)

Tonight I'm watching what is probably the best episode of the greatest TV western ever: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0644483/

This is what gave me an urge to visit Kerguelen Island ... it's the only land antipode to any part of Montana. Originally shared by Guy Kawasaki Ever wonder where you'd be if you tunneled straight through the earth? Now you can find out: www.freemaptools.com/tunnel-to-other-side-of-the-earth.htm I'd be right off Madagascar. Where would you be?

A quick hike up to Lava Lake yesterday afternoon ...

Some new photos in this album ... from a night at another Forest Service cabin this weekend. A great sunset, and alien zombies!

Hey, Janus ... Just a quick note that I have a couple of business clients who are hardcore Christian conservatives, and who have been known to look me up online, so a bit of discretion when commenting on public posts is appreciated. Anything is fair game with non-public posts, of course!

Here's another album moved over from Facebook ... some shots I took in Egypt in the spring of 2007.
