Here’s an example of the diversity of life I mentioned yesterday:
And another, though I’m not too sure of the intelligence of this one. Yes, that’s SNOW on the right. The water was very, very cold.
Of course, I did pay him a dollar to do it. It’s all about the dollar challenge. Would he have done it for $10? Probably not. $1? Heck yes.

There’s something thrilling about skyscrapers. For some it may be the view from the top. For others, they represent the apex of human civilization—power, money, human ingenuity, thousands upon thousands of tiny cubicles.
For me, it’s the diversity of life. Not only of the sentient occupants, but of the plant life as well. I love the challenge it takes to rise to the top. The weather is all sorts of different as well. A few months ago I hiked one with a friend, Kevin. It was a hot day in the valley, but cold and windy on top. The snow never fully melts up there. We scaled hundreds of feet of hard, slippery snow, in places at least 20 feet deep.
While some like the dazzle of the city variety of skyscrapers, I prefer the natural type. Mountains are my skyscrapers.
I do have an about page, but since this little section down here exists I should probably use it.
Basically, I love to read. I love to dance. I love to travel. I am fluent in both Spanish and English.
Also, New Orleans Dixieland Jazz music is pretty much the best music ever.
I'd like to thank the establishment and also, Wordpress.
