I'm back. Well, been back.
Had an awesome summer, really.
I'll get around to getting my pictures someday, for those interested. Laura.
If I'm not busy next summer, probably go back to camp, again.

In regular Dan news slash exposition, I'm tired of people quoting things about roses by any other name.
Nice flowers, right?
How about if you knew they were called naked broom rape?
Well, surprise. They actually are.

But now all you can think of when you see them is prison-bitch movies of the 1970's.
Mmm... Exploitation.
So let's just leave things named the way they are, and not try to say things would be okay with other names. Sometimes, they're just not.
And anyway, quoting someone else (Shakespeare, this case) doesn't make you smart. Just means you have a good memory, not a good intellect.
Leonardo Da Vinci said that.
