I'm Back Day

I'm back from my week at the beach, three tones darker (burnt umber instead of yellow) and five pounds heavier. Among the major events that occurred in my absence:

Fall arrived in Sterling at roughly the same time the Herndon day labourers were kicked out of their work center -- this obviously means that illegal immigrants can also be blamed for plummeting temperatures (as well as the standard decrease in property values and increase in STDs.

While I occupy myself with going back to work, catching up on other peoples' blogs, and answering Mike's tag, enjoy my vacation slides !

Happy Birthday Tom!
