Ever mindful of his trail.

Patches delighted in the small towns dotting the Czechoslovakian countryside.

A menacing collection of hair and face-casts

This is where the turtleneck says "I've had enough"

Wow. Turtleneck crisis for sure. No shirt should ever feel the way that shirt feels right now.

First tracks.

2nd dump of the season. October 26, 2006. Feelin' it.

Belly flop in to Mt. Sneffels, Uncompahgre Range

Go Raiders!

In Nurnburg Plaza, Germany. The best thing about this guy?
His accordian playing? No.

I don't know. I don't go looking for this stuff. This stuff finds me.

Are they blind and tone deaf?

They love David Hasselhoff. They really, really love David Hasselhoff.

Asleep in my watercolor garden...

I found the perfect sheets and pillowcases for my bedroom.

Penalizable hair decision.
