Well, after last month's comments about the upcoming election, I really have nothing to say about the now past election... I guess I can at least say, "Way to go Forest Grove!" (We're going to collect our 3% sales tax on all pot sales in the city, so we got that goin' for us, which is nice...)
Otherwise, this month involved a bit of travel with a business trip to Japan and a Thanksgiving trip to Florida. However, you'll get to see that in the pictures. Which means I should think of something else witty to say here... How about:
- Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
- The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.
- Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
- A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station...
Maybe you should just move on to the pictures...
 Dad just wanted you to know what Nagoya looks like from the Marriott... |
 Dad's idea of the perfect sushi... beef fish! |
 Dad says this is part of the Kiyomizu-dera Temple. |
 Looks like Dad broke his own rule and took one selfie to prove he was at the Heianjingu Shrine... |
 And you can probably figure out this is the Kinkajuji Temple (at least if I tell you that means Golden Pavilion...) |
 While Dad was in Japan I decided to do some art photography right here in our yard! |
 I also thought you might want to see how Buttercup is doing... |
 I think this is actually Mom's art photo shot on our way to Florida... |
 Let me give you a quick tour of The Villages: pools, rec centers, dancing in the square, the Rural King, more music in the square, Scooter the DJ, Lake Sumpter, and post Thanksgiving at the country club... |
 We also went to Cape Canaveral - really, that's us at the bottom of the shuttle boosters. |
 And here I am again! - can you find me in front of the Atlantis? Really? That's impressive... I'm not there! |
 Houston... We have a problem! Thank goodness we're only pretending to be in space... |
 We're not in Cape Canaveral anymore... Actually we're all hanging out in St. Augustine now! |
 Dad just wanted to give you a little taste of America's oldest city... |
 You can find the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine... but most people are really looking for Gator Bob's... |
 Tanto wasn't impressed (with the Ripley's Believe It Or Not replica... what did you think Dad meant?) |
 We also toured the Castillo de San Marcos... I don't know what Mom did to get in trouble... |
 I don't really know why Dad included this one... He said he just thought it was a cool picture... |
 Then he got all "arty" with these O'Hare layover pictures... |
 We made it home! Are we a motley crew or what? No, I didn't say we are Mötley Crüe... |
