Pix from my travels: Glacier NP, Death Valley, Año Nuevo, Red Rock Canyon, Olympic NP, Yosemite, Zion, two photos of The Who ( '80 and '06 versions), Promo poster from Floyd’s “Pulse” DVD, mini-CD from Nick Lowe’s “The Convincer”, rubber “the best safety tool” squeezy-brain, origami swan, 1984 Life Magazine (with The Beatles on the cover), two smiley-face hors-d’œuvre pick-thingies. Thats it, I think…
