A Day Under the Painted Sky
So, how was the Balloon Fiesta on the first day? Very nice. I took over 250 photos, all of which I uploaded to a Flickr set, and had a grand time, even if I did have to wake up well before the sun rose.
It was worth it.
Of course, once I got home, I promptly slept for five hours and then spent the rest of the day tagging photos. And I managed to make a video, but I still haven’t figured out how to trim it down to put on Seesmic. One thing at a time, I guess.
Best ten dollars I spent all year, though.

Not trying to feed panic here, but scenarios that just a year or two ago I would have given 1000-to-1 odds now feel considerably more likely. I hope each of you have at least considered a personal plan for facing a financial system seizure. This is really a very precarious and historic moment.

It’s a good thing I can watch these clips in the morning, because my laughing would wake up the neighborhood.
