Added an album for a Historical Society event back in 2008 for the Huebner Onion house in Leon Valley (SW History photo blog). Added a few images to Nature.

Added a few photos to the Nature blog, including kitten pics.

I started posting images of the exhibits on the grounds and inside the Navajo Nation Museum (JttW2 blog).

Added a few photos to the Nature photoblog.

I posted pics of the trip from Continental Divide up to the Navajo Nation Museum parking lot. The next sets of images will be the Navajo Nation Museum exhibits, and then the Navajo Nation Zoo.

I posted the photos from Albuquerque through Continental Divide along I-40. This set includes my first shots of ravens.

The next few photos will cover the scenery from Church Rock through Gallup, and then we head up into the Navajo Nation.

I watched the end of the season for Dr. Who. Is the terrible, universe-ending question something like, "Who is Dr. Who?"

I'm done uploading and tagging the photos from Day 3 of the JttW2 photo blog. That's the end of Albuquerque. Day 4 is the journey to and through Dinetah, which includes a lot of museum photos and zoo pics, so that will take a while to get through.

We covered a LOT of ground and absorbed a lot of information in a very short amount of time during this trip. Going through the photos now and looking up where we were and what we saw online helps me figure out just what we did, exactly, because it's all a blur.

How much of the information that we are exposed to in our daily lives do we actually ever consciously process? Do you understand the classes you're in now? Do you remember things you learned last year? Five years ago? Ten years ago? Do you understand all of it? Any of it? Have you gone back and tried to understand things now that you didn't understand before?

Oh yes, and on the home front, the plumbers seem to have come and filled in the tunnel under the house today while I was at work. Good timing, because it started storming this evening. I planted a few kernels of Indian (ornamental) corn out front to see if they would sprout. I may plant a few more things if the workmen are done stomping on everything, and if it keeps on trying to rain every now and then. No more of this 100 degree plus weather for DAYS on end business, thank you very much!
