Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be, but first I need more coffee.
Saw it yesterday. On Twitter I think. Now today on Planet Python. Okay, I’ll be a lemming.
Instructions: Take a picture of yourself right now. Don’t change your clothes, don’t fix your hair – just take a picture. Post that picture with NO editing. Post these instructions with the picture.

I’d resisted using livejournal for a very long time, but so many people i know are on it, that if I want to keep up with them I feel compelled to participate. With that in mind I thought I could just import my blog posts from this website via an RSS feed. I can’t. So now, I’m stuck with two sites.
I wonder if I can scrape my livejournal entries and feed them into wordpress. I’ll report back. Meanwhile you can check out my livejournal account:
The past two evenings I’ve been walking Mystery in Heller Park. On occasion in the dusk sky I’d see creatures flitting around like bats, but couldn’t positively ID them as bats. They are pretty small. They are bats it’s just hard to even make out the silhouette against the sky to say, “Yep, that’s a bat.” I managed to go early enough where there was still enough light to ID them.
I got out my handy new Stoke’s Beginner’s Guide to Bats. It breaks them down by color code and there is a list for each state and which ones are common and which are uncommon. Based on the description. It looks like the are Evening Bats. I also heard a chirping noise which the book doesn’t describe them making. Since they only emit ultrasound I can’t hear that. Even the low end is still too high. I wonder if some other creature was making that noise? But the sound was coming from the general direction of the bats. I’ll see if I can take a picture with my new camera, but I don’t hold out much hope.
At last I’ve posted some of the pictures taken on our Colorado/WorldCon vacation.
This is our obligatory Pike’s Peak snapshot.
Playing with my new camera. It’s a Canon S5IS. There were was a hummingbird feeder outside the 2nd floor of the Pike’s Peak Cog Railway station.
More pics from Boulder,Fort Collins and Pike’s Peak.
There is a story behind this picture. Alas, it’s not very interesting so I won’t relate. All I can say is that it involves zombies. That’s Jay Lake in the fiery shirt in the center. To his immediate right is Frank Wu and to the far right is Keith Stokes. Joe Haldeman is apparently hiding.
I still have to upload and tag my pics from the Denver Botanic Gardens and the Cosmophere.
