These Go To Eleven
NIGEL: All the way up. You’re on ten on your guitar, where can you go from there? Where?
MARTY: I don’t know.
NIGEL: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
MARTY: Put it up to eleven.
NIGEL: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
MARTY: Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
NIGEL: These go to eleven.Curious about the title of this blog? Here's a link to a video clip of one of my favorite scenes in "This Is Spinal Tap"

Obsidian and Other Treasures
Finally something worth posting!! It just took me a month to get it here (and a YEAR since my last “real” post).
In August and September, we spent almost 3 weeks traveling around South Dakota and Wyoming. It was the most amazing trip ever. If I can get my face out of Facebook, I’ll try to post a real summary of our trip. For now, I just wanted to point out something in my photos that I found really interesting.
Here are the collections of rocks Simon and Alvin found on a beach near Grant Village in Yellowstone National Park. Since you can’t take stuff with you from the parks — not even rocks (shame on you if you did!), we took photographs of their treasures. I found it so interesting the difference in their collections.
Simon’s collection looked like this:
Alvin’s collection looked like this:
Isn’t that fascinating? Or is it just me?
South Dakota and Wyoming
Don’t anyone drop dead! I’m posting on my blog! So much for my new year’s resolution to blog more. Damn Facebook. It has taken over my life. There is just something appealing about writing to/for people you actually know (well, except I don’t actually know Laura, but feel like I do since we have a common mutual friend — small world!).
Anyway…
Soon we will be spending 17 days in South Dakota (Black Hills, Badlands, Mitchell, De Smet) and Wyoming (Yellowstone and Grand Tetons).
Anyone have specific recommendations? We have pretty much everything common on our list. Would appreciate some uncommon advice.
Thanks.
Email Address in Comments
When you comment on someone’s blog, it clearly states that your email address will not be published but is required before you can post a comment.
Imagine my surprise when I went to edit a comment someone made on my blog and saw their email address. Yep. I scrolled through every comment on my blog and could see everyone’s email address.
Call me paranoid, but I think this is a problem. Particularly since it says on the comment form that your email address will not be published!
