Haha! I guess it would best be written as Kwee-Kwayger. It's based on a character from Moby Dick (Ishmael's savage bosom buddy if you remember) and I stuck an -er at the end, mostly in case someone already took the name.
I was a local of Iowa for longer than anywhere else I've lived, which means about 8 years. I went to High School at LaSalle (when it was still around) and then Kennedy. After that I moved to Iowa City to go to school at U of I. My parents still live out in North Liberty (mom works in Cedar Rapids at McLeod and pops worked at UI and Mt Vernon until recently, and now works at a marketing research firm in Iowa City). And yes, I made the drive from IC to CR countless times, brought back some memories it did. The whole Georgia thing happened when the Air Force tricked me! I thought I'd be going to Middle Eastern countries and far away places... but instead they plopped me down in Augusta, GA. I can't say it's that bad though, one more interesting place to live. |

In another thread I posted a picture of Tiny Town. Here are two more.
Tiny Town was built in 1915, and recently restored. In addition to the railroad, there's a mining building (I think that that's what that red building on the hill in the upper center of the first picture is), a church, and lots of other buildings. |
Ah, HLJ, you get so many great shots of stuff that is so familiar to me. It helps me appreciate where I live! Yes, it is true, you can get use to mountains. In fact, I am so use to them now, that driving through Kansas through storms was truly frightening for me. Somehow the mountains are protective. In Kansas the sky is so big and I am so small.

P.S. I'm trying to include a mix of blue sky and intimate landscapes. So far, the pictures are more documentation than art. |

I think they become art through their use as documentation. |
My commute is pretty long (29 pictures worth) but it's very green and pretty...just wondering if you guys think I should cut out some of the photos, or post them as is. (If yer still interested, of course.)
|
Post them.

Could vBulletin (possibly) run some kind of slideshow?

I've only posted part of the commute. I don't know if I'll do the rest. |
I took a lot more than 29 also HLJ...but I cut it down as best I could to save on poor UT's bill (since I can't send anything his way just yet).

He's very forgiving of pictures that feature naked women.
|
Don't often see naked women on my way to work though, so that doesn't help me in this thread.:o
