Pretty incredible stuff there. Not your typical touristy photos, fer sure. At the risk of blinding folks nearby with the glare off my bald head, my hats off to you, Mark, for bringing us back some stunning images of another world, not just distance-wise, but from a time perspective as well. I reckon my upcoming vacation will be pretty modest in comparison. We are going to Nashville, which is where all the famous Branson performers used to live. I suspect the onliest old temple I will visit will be the Ryman Auditorium. However, we plan on trying to grab a bit of live entertainment down to the Station Inn. Smoke free these days. Nice. In the spirit of travel and adventure, I have slipped in a new Mystery Link over to the right, here. Number 9 to be exact. Number 9, number 9, number 9. Interesting work these folks are doing, and fer a durn good cause, too.

Please keep in mind this ain't no tennis match. More folks is welcome to play than just Mark and ole Bud, here. Fire up yer PC, wireless palm device, web-enabled cell phone or some other means of electronic textual communication and send forth some content. It has been proven to be quite painless. Not quite as satisfyin' as pie and a cup, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Be happy and careful
