Sarcastically, walking safely!

This little safety video is based completely on written guidelines (in subtitle) produced by the New York Police Department (yep, someone actually wrote them) on how to walk safely in NY.  Now of course this is a completely sarcastic take on the whole thing....but how can you not be a little sarcastic when the police themselves place sole responsibility with the vulnerable party!

Moab....the rest of it.

I've been dragging the Moab thing out too long.  You've seen most of the biking and then there was a ton of hiking.  If we'd have been planning the trip (rather than just going on a weeks notice), it was going to be Skinny Tire Festival, ton of hiking, wrapped up with a half marathon.  Due to the changed time table we didn't get to do the 1/2 marathon (it was sold out).  So, since it went right by our camp site we spectated.  It was surprisingly fun!

So anyway in no particular order, here's a bunch of the rest of the pics (with moderately sarcastic comments).

Somewhere in Arches National Park....

Shockingly....also in Arches.

Ditto.

Ditto...finally getting a handle on the panorama function!

Still in Arches (this one was ruined for me by a screaming child in the arch and some gashole idling his diesel the entire time we were there....which you could hear for the entire 1/2 mile hike).  Sorry if you love screaming children or the sounds of diesel engines.

Ice off the Canyon wall on the Negro Bill Trail framing two cute girls!

Corona Arch...with a group getting set up for a really big rope swing!  I have a sweet video but it's too big for blogger....sorry.

The half marathon on a closed coarse along the Colorado river.  A comment....I've never spectated a race before.  Runners come in absolutely every shape and size....and the rate at which they run is not determined by shape or size!!!

This was our cheering crowd for the 1/2 marathon.  We were about 3 miles from the start....so we reminded them they had already burned one beer worth of calories!  Many runners must be alcoholics, as this comment was greeted with cheers most of the time!
