Cool Airport T-shirts

I came across a cool T-shirt yesterday while waiting for my flight back to Houston from San Francisco. Red White and Beer (yup, that's their name), has a complete line of t-shirts inspired by old school luggage tags. I picked up the SFO shirt because I liked how it wasn't your typical, "Hi, I went to San Francisco... or New York... Topeka, whatever" t-shirt. I'm looking forward to the FCO and EZE shirts but there are plenty of other great ones available and more on the way...

Ghost Towns

I've always found ghost towns to be fascinating... wandering among the ruins and rubble of a place that was. You'll see them dotted across the states and, though not referred to as ghost town, across more historic places in countries like Italy, France, etc.

Anyway, the AP published an interesting article called Explore the History and Mystery of Ghost Towns that I found worth sharing. Below are some pictures taken in California's Coachella Valley and in Joshua Tree National Park. The first four are from Joshua Tree, three not too far from the Jumbo Rocks and one from the Lost Horse Mine. The last two (different buildings in different locations) are from various spots in Palm Canyon.

So Cool...

This has to be one of the coolest videos I've ever seen...

Blustery Times South of the Border

Heading to the Pacific side of Mexico for the 4th? Looks like a potentially active weekend may be ahead. Maybe... maybe not...
