I think before I can write up the vacation, I need to get pictures posted. And that may mean I’ll have to not wait for my wife to do whatever it was she wanted to do with her pictures before they could be posted.

She managed to take some on the abortive mountain hike hinted about here, including the one from which I took the new header pic above, before the battery in her camera died. And we also got some good ones while driving around—I guess the day before the hike.

I have some impressions from various other points in our travels, such as the annoyance of finding that one of the hotels we stayed at had installed overly shallow toilet bowls. I’m pretty sure they weren’t hanging in the water, but I can’t be 100% positive of that. Don’t they, like, test the things before they install them?

Hmmm. Testing toilet bowls for proper depth. What do you suppose a job like that pays?

Update: Pics from the trip are up.

What things are we talking about? Toilets, or them things that hang?

BTW, did you know what a virga was before you married Chris, or am I just stupid?

Yeah, I know, that’s not an “or” question.

Virga sounds like the name of a cheap Chevy compact car.

I grew up in the west.

Heh. In fact, that would have been my first car.

I think my first girlfriend was a virgan, come to think of it.
