We spent pretty much the whole day driving in on place or another. i appreciate the break from hiking. the canyonlands have some great geology; it's all horsts and grabens. and the needles are just beautiful...thing. tonight i'm definitely buying a beer for john, our driver, who is a physics professor. tomorrow we head home after a short stop at onion creek. i can't wait to see mike and my kitties!

My right foot looks about like my left. did more than 6 hours of hiking - arches and then through the fiery furnace. it was absolutely beautiful, but man i'm beat to shit. karl has now shown me how to...lace my boots, though, so there should be no more repeats of the blisters from hell. tomorrow we're going into the canyons with jeeps, so that'll be a lot of fun. and now, i think it's beer thirty!

Here we are at the game.

Как-то так сложилось, что я не смотрю телевизор, не читаю газет. Новости узнаю преимщественно от домочадцев, коллег и из нескольких блогов. В этом нет принципиальной позиции, просто так сложилось. Прессу...копания в нечистотах, что эта грязь из газеты течет мне прямо в мозг. Стало страшно жить. Захотелось цензуры. Жесткой. В безцензурном мире почему-то только грязь, склоки, светские помои и мат. сабж.

Another ponderous intersection in Boston. Three lane road. No lines on the road anywhere. Stop light on the right side of the road. Stop light facing the opposite direction. No stop light in front of me. Two stop lights facing to the left even though there's no road there. THIS SHOULD NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN. Ever.

That's a new depth of TMI. "I'm drinking because of my breast cancer instead of taking those damn pills." What can you say to that?! It's too early in the day to have that laid on you.
