Raiders of the Lost Blog

Chris and I went down to Falls Church to visit her godchildren Evan and Emily Stout, and their parents Linda & Bill Stout. We had a good time, and they had a huge cookout. You can see pictures here.

Chris and I went to Cheesequake State Park on April 30th. It’s only a few minutes south of Woodbridge. It’s a salt marsh, but with miles of trails for walking. It even has a crabbing bridge, not that anyone was crabbing. And why would you need a bridge to do it? I’m so confused. Then again, I come from desert country, what do I know about crabs!

You can see pictures of it in my photo gallery.

This is sad, I remember going here as a kid (that’s my family at Vernal, Utah). There’s no money being put into the National Park System, so all of the parks around the US are falling apart. Check out the article here.

Very cool set of pictures of Flckr of Russian propaganda posters from 1911-1971.

The finale of 24 last night was awesome.  To me this has clearly been the best season of 24 ever, even better than the first season.  Normally I’d judge a season of 24 on the cougar factor.  The quality of the season was inversely proportional to the number of times Jack’s daughter Kim was held in mortal danger by some crazy guy, terrorist or mountain lion.  This season had no cougar moments.

It was a really strong season.  Lots of people died, some people lived, and Jack wound up in even a worse place for next season.  It’s going to be a long wait for January to see what happens next.
