While Steve and Daniel were visiting, we were taking our laptops to the library and using one of their “study rooms” as an office. I’m fixin’ to get back to working here, though. What’s here: [...]

No Swimming
No Swimming, originally uploaded by bradipo. I’ve always been amused by the “No Swimming” signs that are up year-round at Kaufman Lake Park. I thought this captured the absurdity perfectly. No Swimming by Philip Brewer is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License.
