San Telmo Comic
I was playing around in Photoshop and turned one of my photos from the San Telmo antiques fair in Buenos Aires into something that looks like it came out of a comic strip. Now, I wonder how other photos would look if I used this technique to modify them?

In other news, Katy and I ate dinner tonight at one of our favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh, the Harris Grill, but we first had to wait an hour at the bar for a table on their back patio. Ah well, we talked with Scott the bartender, who is one of our favorite waiters ever, and that was good. He even told us the two places in the city where we can get some Magic Hat No. 9 on tap. The Harris Grill stopped serving Magic Hat on tap when their distributor went dry, and they don't feel like driving eight hours to go get a few kegs of it.
We're about to have a lovely line of storms pass through here; the appearance of which was somewhat predictable because Katy ran the drip hose in the garden all evening. It should help me sleep soundly, at any rate. I love a good thunderstorm, even if it's not Texas-sized or visible 100 miles away.
Well, anyway, good night!

It sounds like Pittsburgh is full of all sorts of culinary delights. At this point, what would you say is your favorite type of food? And what do you prefer to drink with it? Is there one type of food that you have tried and decided that you patently dislike it?

Yeah, running the drip hose is so asking for rain. I should have known better.
Ah well, at least now we have well-watered (drowned?) tomato plants and cucumbers.
Happy 4th!

Ah... Texas thunderstorms. We actually had some wonderful thunder yesterday evening and some rain. We could use more, but I'll take what we can get right now. It's so dry here. I hope you enjoyed your storms too.
