Lucky Break

Three finals and one presentation to go, and then I am a free woman! Wheee! This semester marked my return to college, and [...]

Whaaa? Earthquakes in Georgia?

Whaaa? Earthquakes in Georgia?

According to the local news, within 10 minutes of each other not 1 but 2 earthquakes struck Central Georgia yesterday afternoon. I didn’t even know earthquakes were possible in this region! 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 [...]

2 for Neon Boneyard, Please

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 – [...]
