blog problem

OK, for whatever reason, my Cumberland Falls entry has eaten several of my older entries and things are jumbled up. It is obviously some kind of database problem, but now the trick is getting it fixed!

Not a good thing as I have lost 2 posts in the last 15 minutes. Makes me a little nervous with all these big trips coming up!

Shot-o’clock

Shot O’clock is the time in the pub when people get stupid enough to start doing regretful things to their livers in very small glasses.

My shot-o’clock is tomorrow at 14:00 in the afternoon. Not the kind that comes from the bottle, its the kind that comes with a big pointy needle that gets pushed through your muscle tissue to deposit a payload of living viruses.

I hate needles. In fact, I would rather have someone shoot me in the leg with a .45. Ever since the army used your tax dollars to turn me into a human pincushion, I have just not got along with needles. In fact, I despise them. I will undoubtedly have a fever tomorrow as my body does its best to fight off the small dose of incurable creepie-crawlies that will be coursing through my veins.

Luckily, my Typhoid and Japanese Encephalitis vaccinations are still good so I just get some easy Hep boosters and a delightful tetanus shot. I opted for the tetanus because mine is now 10 years old and after my finger cutting incident in Egypt, I decided the shot was worth it.

No doubt my buddies will be pounding away on my arm at the pub tomorrow night after reading this. :)

Cumberland Falls

In between travels, I try to keep busy around my area with almost-free adventures like hiking, fishing, climbing, or whatever else I can use to keep myself from the evil allure of electronic thingies.

On Sunday I took a road trip with Lyndsey to Cumberland Falls, a pretty good sized waterfall here in Kentucky with all the obligatory hiking trails and some pretty nice boulders for sitting around, sunning yourself like a lizard, and contemplating big trips that are coming up. :)

The mist from the waterfall coupled with Kentucky’s infamous humidity made most of my pictures total shite, but here are a few that I managed to salvage.
