The POT OF GOLD at the end of the rainbow.

we found it!
We actually found it. Somewhere between Palm Springs, CA and Sedona, AZ, we found it.
Too bad Andy wouldn't turn around to get it... it was on the "wrong" side of the highway.

Careful! They really are UNUSAUAL waves!
We were in Morro Bay, CA, last week. Central coast. Look it up on Google Maps.
The picture Ann took of the rock (see her facebook page) was the Morro Rock.
Anyway, apparently, they have waves there. Odd ones. Strange. Unusaual, even.
If the waves had only been of an unusual size and force, I probably would not have been as careful.
I showed this picture in class on Wednesday. One of the guys says, "Yeah, signs like that are funny. When we got here, we saw the curb was painted with "no stopping" marks. S.T.O.P.P.I.N.G. Hah!" he says.
I said, what's wrong with that? He says, "You know, they misspelled it. It should have been S.T.O.P.I.N.G."
What could I say to that? "Spell check is a wonderful thing." Several people in class were watching to see if I would take it any further. They know me, I guess. I sort of shook my head. "Let it go," I was thinking....
Now, we're headed to Sedona.

baby, it's cold inside!
Last weekend we went to the ICE! exhibit at the gaylord texan resort in Grapevine. Andy read about it in an airline magazine and it sounded cool (cool - yuk, yuk). They used something like 2 MILLION POUNDS of ice to make all these sculptures, and they bring in ice sculptors from China. These guys do it up right - check this out...
Since everything in America must have a corporate sponsor, the ICE! sculptures were almost all characters from the DreamWorks™animated Merry Madagascar movie. But still pretty amazing considering that it's all made of ICE!
It's about 9°F in the exhibit, so they hand out parkas.
This is Andy's brother, Chris. There were clear instructions to not lick the ice. It must be genetic.
Afterwards, steaming cups of hot chocolate all around! A toast to my camera unfogging.
