Had lots of fun, and did some productive work, but its good to be back in the Islands.
As some of you know, we were in Mongolia during a National Emergency, got to see a riot, and had to go without booze for two whole days once our mini-bars were depleted!
Our van ran off the road, my neck received a severe jolt, we had to inflate a flat tire with a bicycle pump, my frisky pony bolted and almost threw my big butt and we were beset by a sudden flash flood. Why me, Lord?
Still had time to see some amazing countryside, and meet some very nice folks. Breaking in a new camera. See pixs at:

Yes, Degas. Do try to make it to the GTG. Some of us in that small gathering are mainlanders... I for one, would be curious to put a name and face together. Love reading your posts!
