Randomness

This weekend the Jeeps hit the trail. We are going somewhere different this time and I have never been there before. Sounds like it is going to be a tame ride - but seeing new scenery will be nice. The destination is called the Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area and is just north of the bustling metropolis of YeeHaw Junction, home of the Desert Inn.


Here is another picture from the South America trip. As you can infer from the photograph this was a very serious trip and a pivotal point of our business education.

The Lovely Cate Classmate is standing there next to me as we waft the vapors from the oak aging casks. The reason for my smile is four-fold:

1. I am wearing my favorite and very understated yellow jacket.
2. Cate pinched my butt just before the photo was taken.
3. Wine.
4. It was cold enough to actually wear the cashmere scarf that was recently purchased in Buenos Aires without looking like a dork. (I know Dixie will disagree with that.)

This is my nephew Michael. While on a visit in North Carolina we wandered upon a spring-fed stream with pristine crystal-clear water. As you can see by the present turbidity, a six year old can really have an impact on the environment. I believe in this picture he was making a convincing case as to why I needed to roll up my jeans, remove my socks and shoes and join him in his quest for gold nuggets and quartz crystals. Although his reasoning was varied and extensive I remained on the bank.
