Eff It Dude, Let's Go To 'Nam

Ok, so the weather isn't this nasty anymore. Still, I'm ready to ditch town. Which is where having a hotshot historic preservationist for a girlfriend comes in. Andrea will be presenting her research on Olympic development in Beijing at a Forum UNESCO conference in Hanoi, and I'm tagging along. In fact, we leave this evening. So for two short weeks, this blog will once again be updated with pictures and thoughts from our travels. This week I'll be posting from Hanoi, and starting next Friday I'll be coming at you from various parts of Cambodia. Also, be sure to check out Andrea's blog, The Sustainability Gap.

Yes Please

Please God, let this happen.

Best. Vanity Plate. Ever.

My Other Bike Is A GMC

My daily rider is a 70's Peugeot Carbolite. I recently picked this up to fool around with. Didn't even notice the stickers until after I'd bought it. Ugh, I own a GMC!

Holy Statism!

So True...

Caged animals One, China Zero

Remember Andrea's post about the sadness that is the Beijing Zoo?

Well, the abused animals of China fought back recently, as a young, mentally ill man was literally eaten by a tiger at the Harbin zoo. As sad as the story is, if you saw how animals are treated in captivity in China, you'd want to eat the most vulnerable Chinese person you could find. Money line? "Only two legs and his skull were left," the report said.
