it was one of those weekends where i did so much that it seemed really long. i should be more tired than i am. now i have two days in the office, then wed spent at state fair, from which i'll head to laramie after the roundup's picnic that evening for a meeting on wind energy thurs/fri.

these are the people with whom i went to pathfinder, from far horse: eddy, mexican martinez, bob, dorothy and mutton marshal.
