I was supposed to meet Myke yesterday morning inside the Farmer's Market.  I was going to stand by the doors throwing the goat \m/ so he'd recognize me from my profile pic.  :-)  Instead, as I was walking from the parking garage, I saw a cool looking guy wandering aimlessly on the streets of downtown Troy.  Lucky for me, he was walking, facing to my left, so I totally recognized him from his profile:

Matched his profile

We got some coffee, strolled through the market and chatted while I picked up my weekly supplies.  When I picked up a frozen chicken, he thought it might be a giant slab of bacon.  :-)  I wish!!  We had good gossips and high praises for our sweet little Vox community. 

Caught him unprepared

We sat and chatted for a while longer before he had to hit the road for the land of spurs and cowboy hats (worn only by tourists apparently).  :-)  Because it was butt-cold out, I drove him to his car.  We tried to get one last pic, but the elements were against us.  Also, we decided neither of us take a good picture, but I thought this was funny anyway.

Cold wind-blown and confused

Oh wait, here's a good one!  Wish him well on his journey home:

Every time there's a Vox meet-up, a Voxxer gets a shirt.*

My new shirt

Do you like the model I got to wear it?  *In all seriousness, thanks for the shirt, Myke!  I had a blast meeting you, hope we can hang out again this summer.  :-)

• Many autumn leaves never fell of of some of the biggest trees in the State Office Campus last autumn. That changed with the high winds we've had in the past couple of days.  This morning it looked like November when I left my house, there were brown leaves everywhere.  When I drove through the State Offices I happily plowed through giant piles of swirling leaves.  I don't know why, but in the fall this gives me great joy.  It's like jumping into a pile of leaves but without the chiggers.  It was a nice little treat this morning.

• In other, more interesting news, PZ Meyers was Expelled (but you'll have to read to the end to find out who wasn't).

• In other, less interesting, but more personal news, kitty has a second littler box (in a bathroom the size of an outhouse) and will be visiting the vet this afternoon (how can you not be in love with a practice called "Just Cats"?...I guess maybe if you only had a dog).

• In other, more interesting and personal news, if I play my cards right, I'll get to hang out with Myke next week!  Feeling jealous?  You should be!!
