Four Corners National Monument
In the span of 30 seconds, I stood in four states: New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. Amy, Hugh and Donna took a labor day trip down to Southwestern Colorado to check out the Four Corners National Monument, Mesa Verde National Park and the Canyon of the Ancients National Monument. Though I've traveled extensively in the Western US, I'd never been to these three notable attractions and oddly, I was looking most forward to the point at which the four aforementioned states intersect. This was Amy's first time being in New Mexico and Arizona.
We got there around 7 pm, with perfect lighting conditions and a comfortable temperature. I was a little miffed that they charged $3 per person to see the monument but it was still pretty cool.
We're staying tonight and tomorrow night in Cortez, Colorado. We'll be hitting the Mesa Verde tomorrow and Canyon of the Ancients on Monday before we head back to Colorado Springs. If you're interested, follow me on Twitter.
Sarah Palin for VP
Pretty good strategic move by McCain, both on choice and timing but I guess Mrs. Palin is not an advocate for animal rights judging by the decor in her Anchorage, AK office. Too bad.

After reading my daily barrage of non-stop bad news, this story made my day. It's a pretty awesome story that's definitely worth a read.

Bassett Hound On The Internet
I took a mid morning nap today and when I came down, I busted Sally playing on the laptop. After these pictures were taken, I confiscated the machine and checked the Firefox browsing history. I found the following:
Craigslist: "SFBH (Single Female Bassett Hound) wooksing for coot and submissive pwayfriend dat wont steals my fuds.
Petfinder.com: Nice but not smrts male Basset Hound wif widdle bwain. Barks at air wandomly but iz sometimes nice when he is sweeping in hiz cage. If act now, will frow in special brack kitteh who has gud attitude when sweeping up on kitchen cabinet. Pwease repwy in confidence to salsters99@bassetmailz.com."
Amy and I were disturbed to say the least and Sally has lost her internet privileges for 30 days until she understands the impact of her posts.
Note: These pictures were not staged (seriously).
