Airport art

Waiting for Brendan at O'hare. Airport art always fascinates me!

Ooooo, Hontoni????

Went with a friend to Mitsuwa (a Japanese grocery store/ food court in Chicago burbs) for lunch before Batman last weekend, and was delighted at how authentic everything was! We only ate in the food court, and checked out the bakery, because I knew that if I went through the groceries that would be the end of me. I MUST go back with a cooler and stock up on tasty things!

Pic from Dad

Here's a pic my dad sent me. He went outside to check out the approaching rain clouds. This bobcat was hanging out with a fresh bird kill in its mouth. He went in for his camera, and found that the bobcat had decided to park it in his yard and just eat-up right there. All that was left was the tail-feathers and a foot. That's very thorough eating, Bobcat!!

Cats and stuff

 KC: this place (argh, forgetting name!) prides itself on having the most beers on tap in the world. those pipes along the celing are the tap lines running from the giant refrigerator room where there are ~50 kegs on tap!

 ...finish big!

 at Heartland Pagan Festival! (i don't take a lot of pics there because there are strict rules about photographing people, and plus i'm too busy running around!) this is my trusty waterskin which is great for washing hands.

 there were butterflies everywhere!
