Autumn & Jerry

Yesterday held a wonderful little surprise for me. I got home from work a little late that morning, and had some reading to catch up on before bed, so my sleep was short. There was rain in the forecast, set to start just about the time I’d be out & about for my afternoon World [...]

As finals week creeps up on me, and my work schedule does not play nice, I am scrambling to complete all the assignments that the end of semester presents. Two papers, done. Three finals and one presentation to go, and then I am a free woman! Wheee! This semester marked my return to college, and [...]

Apparently, both have been confirmed by the United States Geological Survey and magnitudes registered a 3.1 & 2.2, respectively. Some people reported cracks to [...]

Thanks to a current Flickr Blog spotlight, last night I noticed some cool photo features that were obviously from Las Vegas. After a closer look, I discovered that they were all taken in a place called the Neon Boneyard which is a collection of historic signs that have been saved from destruction. So cool – [...]
