Sorry Atlanta, you are a fine city, but I can hardly refrain from recommending to anyone to avoid airplane connections at your airport. My 1:45 flight from Baltimore here landed an hour late, and despite Delta’s announcements that “connecting flights had been notified”, they did not relay this to my Austin connection, which left without me. So its an extra 4 hours stuck here, and being told I am “lucky” I did not have to stay overnight. It has something to do here about runway construction. Is there an airport anywhere in the universes not under construction? But my sentence here is confounded more. I found there is no way I can can to the Austin airport Friday in time to catch my flight home to Phoenix (thanks to Austin’s lovely traffic), so I began the process calling Expedia to get a flight change. Oops, because my trip is in [...]

Grnad Opening of Clockwise US Tour
flickr foto Grnad Openingavailable on flickr Typos as art! This welcome sign at the Tang Museum is Nina Katchadourian‘s work inspired by a sign at her local deli. I gotta get a job as an artist. I’m on the first leg of a large circle trip around the US, currently in Saratoga Springs, NY, for an NMC meeting at Skidmore College. We had a wonderful day hosted at the Tang Museum. The tour started Thursday morning at 4:00 Am, with a SuperShuttle pickup for a flight to Albnay via Detroit. Two days of lovely upstate New York, and Saturday I am off to visit family over the weekend in Baltimore. Then Tuesday early AM I fly to Austin for an NMC workshop through Friday. Landing at the Phoenix airport, my wife will spirit us away for a 3 day weekend at our cabin, and Monday evening, it is back to [...]

So far so good, it works My MacBookPro is back and it works (well so far, a few hours). This MBP better stay lit, as in another day, I am off for a 9 day cross country 4 stop trip. Okay, so I will say Apple did the repair in an amazingly short turn around time; picked up by DHL on Thursday, Aug 24 @ 4:00 PM, fixed in Houston on Aug 25, and returned to me Monday, Aug 27. Determining what was done requires some decrypting is it too much to have it stated in human?

Yup, Gisela Needs Web Design
flickr foto Gisela Storeavailable on flickr Small out of the way town south of Payson. This was the General Store and bar, closed for 3 years. I was poking around the net looking for anything about Gisela, Arizona, a town of minimal map dot size. For as many years I have driven north on the Beeline Highway from Phoenix to the high country of the Mogollon Rim, I’ve been curious abour the signs a few miles south of Payson pointing to “Gisela”. It was 8 or 10 years ago there was even a billboard with “Town For Sale” — the sign is gone, and it’s not too clear if someone bought it or the seller gave up. So on our latest trip up north, we headed 5 miles up a winding dirt road that crested and than dropped down to this scattering of various homes, trailers, stables, a farm or [...]
