Back again

Here goes an ill-advised dip into politics after being force fed 3 nights of none-more-patriotic speeches from the democrats’ conference. Obviously, Obama’s the one to vote for. McCain getting in is too depressing to contemplate, but the Daily Show came up with this fine effort last night that hit the nail on the head for the tone of the entire proceedings.

Let’s hope the ‘moisture in the system [doesn’t] linger too long over the ocean‘…

has now finished so I find myself browsing my various web feeds and here are the highlights:

Why can’t you buy cashew nuts in their shells?
Balloons, balloons, balloons. Balloons!.
Mavis Beacon’s typing tutor this ain’t.
Jon Stewart doing what he does best.
Possible engineering project for my new office.
Jeebus knows what myth they were busting here.

And this one reminds me of coming to the states and getting looks for not clearing up my table after eating in fast food establishments. Good to be reminded I’m not the only one. I do now though. Promise. And I was at Starbucks today again. Really must stop doing that especially given the extremely good coffee and wifi available at La Estación de Lulio and Mondo Café or many of these independant coffee shops.

And finally links to some other peeps on the photo tour. We’ve some suspiciously similar photos… de Eliazar, y El Charro Negro,. Can’t believe I missed out on the “abrazos gratis”…

Once again, don’t forget snap.com will show you previews of any links when you hover over them. And if you’re sick of that particular effect, click on the “options” at the top right of the bubble to turn them off completely.

More photos from today’s walk with the dog up the coast by Davenport.

Similar pictures to a fortnight ago, except now there’s a few poppies out. Still featuring the patented Atticus-shakycam-action.

…on the blog front, some posts and comments have gone missing in the server change and there’s the usual accent fun that comes from writing apostrophes on a Spanish keyboard, but it looks like all most is right once again with the world of agaveweb.

Coming soon:

1) Proper posts that don’t go on about the state of my hosting
2) 7 reasons why I’ll take Guadalajara over New York each and every time
3) 7 day trips around Guadalajara
4) A run down of our last trip to the states
5) In praise of Pentax DSLRs
6) And much, much more…

We’re leaving this wonderful country towards the end of October, plan your visits now, folks…

… but here’s a video I found via VivirGuadalara.com for people who want to see the cows, but suffer from attention deficit disorder: Cow Parade #1 and shorter but equally frenetic Cow Parade #2 de Guanatos, Mex. Just because you have the tools to edit videos like this doesn’t necessarily mean you should use it. Or you risk it looking like a Kenny Everett sketch from 1983

Now I’m definitely off to Tequila. With my camera. And no dog. Might reach the 6,000 photos uploaded on Flickr benchmark today…
