Becky's Wedding

Here we go: the main event! Here you can see the wedding tent and the long walk the bridesmaids had to make:
Becky and Dave from our spot in the tent:
Here is the whole crew (except Clay and myself. Oh, and not Dave either...)
And here with are with the mini-mountains in the background. Aren't we cute?
And yes - believe it or not - I can still fit into my suit. kinda...

We're Gorges!

Ithaca is Gorges!

That's what they say, you know! First, just up the road from Ithaca is Taughannock Falls - taller than Niagara Falls! (although not quite as big...)
Next, we wandered onto the campus of Ivy League Cornell University. This seems like a harmless bridge, right?
If you take a look over the edge, you see one of the two on-campus 5o+ foot deep gorges. Fun, huh?
That's it for now - more when we get back!

Oxford Signage

As you may know, one of the reasons for my acquisition of a camera phone was to record for posterity a number of the totally bizarre things I see around Ohio. In this first installment, we will see a variety of official signs used around Oxford and Miami.

The sign that started it all. When Western drive was "downsized" to one-way, the construction workers elected to put up this official sign. Purple spray paint on a piece of particle board told us all to turn left:
Next is another typical use of the spray-paint-on-particle-board sign. This one was actually deemed so well-made that it was reused in at least one other location on campus:
Next is the double-whammy. Although they are both dark and hard to read, this Oxford construction company elected to inform the public uptown that this particular alley was closed. It is not too readable on this picture, but helpfully taped to this garbage can is a piece of printer paper which says "Alley Closed."
In case you missed the aforementioned garbage can, helpfully hung on the chain-link fence blocking the alley is another sign, although also unreadable in this picture, that says "alley closed" - also made with the materials of choice - spray paint and particle board.
Pretty classy!
