I apologize for not posting more regularly. One of the reasons was that I went to Mexico City. I also went here.
This is a view of the Pyramid of the Moon
From on top of
the Pyramid of the Sun.
We climbed all those steps. The altitude is over 7500 feet. Wheezer Geezers!

My goodness, but this is extremely cool. Given global warming and the price of fuel, it’s undeniably self-indulgent to the point of Gaia abuse to fantasize about owning my own jetpack. But I can’t help it; I’m a sucker for fly-tech.
Inventor Glenn Martin has created a real, honest-to-guru working prototype of a jetpack, which recently took its first voyage at a flying contraptions fair in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Click on the image to watch the video and read about it at the Chicago Tribune.
(That, btw, is his 16-year-old son Harrison piloting it, neatly settling the debate over whether or not having an inventor for a parent is Teh Coolest! Thing! Evar!)
