My Colombia Trip

Expat47 was kind enough to recall that I took a recent trip to Colombia. Those interested can read the whole report here. With lots of neat pictures.

But I never encountered the human bloodhound drug!

My Excellent South American Adventure

Despite my daily posts last week, I was really among the missing. I spent from the 20th to the 27th (counting travel time) in Medellin, Colombia, being a guest speaker at this conference.

But now I'm home, and have read all the posts and comments from the past week, and just want to say a big thanks to Alex and Chuck and all the witty, talented WU-vies who make this site so wonderful.

Here are two fotos from my trip.

This cartoon is a few years old now, and no sequel is apparent. Too bad! I wanted to see how an alcoholic beetle and a voracious spider did with their love match.

Did I once say I hated all sports? I misspoke!

Mildly NSFW, depending on your workplace policy on nearly naked butts.

Only Bollywood could turn Machu Picchu into a Hindu stageset.

The Curious Dr. Humpp



Most decidedly NSFW, despite hailing from that theoretically more "innocent" year of 1969.

Read a detailed review here.
