Saw this happy guy on the way to the racetrack and just had to get a picture of him…

Hoo boy…

I just don’t know where to start listing all the things that are just plain wrong with this image… It’s such a fertile field for a filthy mind.

There’s a little swamp in one of the turns at the racetrack. It’s populated with all sorts of chirping critters… There’s probably a huge amount of insect inbreeding since you need to cross the track to leave, and that’s a good way to become flat.

This is the car that brought us there, in a manner of speaking. My Fiancee’s brother-in-law is driving… You may see this car in a couple of the pictures.

The blur on this shot is something of a fluke… It was bright enough that the shutter speed on most of my other shots was around 1/1000 sec., which pretty much froze things in place.

A friend of mine is running a Star Wars RPG and we meet Thursday nights at the Michigan Union. Last week we didn’t play… The GM and several of the players were probably stuck in traffic, but that didn’t matter because the building was closed because of the blackout anyway. My Fiancee and I hung out for a while, with my sis and my friend Donald, waiting for people to show and for the traffic to clear up. Then this kiosk across the street started making a horrific howling sound and venting steam out of its top…

I’m blaming these flowers for us being late to work today, even though it’s actually my fault.

There had been this shiny jewel-like bug on the bottom of this leaf. It flew off just as I was taking its picture, but the veins in the leaf itself look really cool up close…

And this is one of the squirrels that rejected our offers of stale bagel bits. Picky little brat…
