DC Bus Mutiny

Metro bus loses power, burning, melting smell...most of the commuters get annoyed and get off the bus...they are in a hurry to get to their jobs...I stay on...I know my job will be there when I get in to work...bus starts running again...commuters clamor to get back on board...driver lets them back on...I say, once you make the decision to mutiny and leave the ship, you shouldn't be allowed back on.

High cars

MANTIS!

His mother is so proud

My nephew with a pantyhose stocking stuck on his head.

But I love fried seafood

On the menu for health department code reasons, even though their menu was full of fried items...I guess they have to do what the law tells them to do.

How many balls do crabs have?

Please return me to my owner

Found in a pager that lights up and vibrates when your table is ready at a restaurant.

I think that he just saw the Hershey store.

Lego Chewbacca and Batman at the FAO Schwartz store in NY

SWEET!

The APPLE store in NY, YEA!

He is so excited!

The glass staircase at the Apple store. Do you hear that sucking sound? That is the sound of poseurs and geeks who go into the Apple store to drool and play with the computers (i.e. surf the web for porn or craigslist personals, like the guy next to us in the store), but who never actually buy anything, because Apple computers and other technology (i.e. Ipods) are overpriced and overhyped.

That said, I love my bought-used Mac Powerbook G4...and if Apple wants to give me anything for free like a new 13" MacBook Pro to continue traveling and posting to my blog while I travel, I would gladly accepted it.

"This museum is all about penis."

After seeing the armor codpieces (some exaggerated and erect) and the Greek and Roman pottery and statues (some with their genitalia and some without their genitalia through breakage), my nephew noted that the Metropolitan Museum of Art is all about penises...and breasts to a lesser extent.

What he doesn't know is that I am really trying to get a picture of the girls behind him.

So I took my nephew on his first trip to New York. We took a bus from DC for the day.
