I know, I know, a post was promised for today on the expoits of Columbus. Unfortunately, family cashed in that special chip they have and I’m going to spend all day today on the road to pick up a new family member. First chance I get, though, updates will abound.
Until then, how about a picture of a rose?
From the International Rose Test Gardens here in Portland. It’s better than nothing, neh?
