Today in Pictures

Today in the Congo people line up as they are displaced from the fighting. In India, Troops line around the Taj Mahal Palace hotel hotel as the battle rages for the hostages still inside. In America, people line up and the battle rages for $400 dollar tv's. The death toll is already up as people are injured and store workers are crushed to death from crazed shoppers.





happy holidays.

2000 miles to New Orleans

What if I got in a boat in central park, here in boulder? What would i see, where would I go?

I looked on google maps and it looks like i'd float through Greeley, through Nebraska before joining the Missouri in omaha. From there I'd cut down to Kansas City, through my childhood home of central Missouri to St. Louis and then south, through memphas and eventually to the gulf.

I'm sure there are more scenic stretches of river, I've been on a lot of rivers, but there's something about just heading out my door and ending up in the gulf. I've gotta think that the trek would take close 3 months to complete... but there's something slightly appealing to me of living a couple of months on the river.

I think i need a straw brim hat first. and a fishing pole.
Peace.
