They way we *Wear

This video is not particularly funny. I mean it's okay. The reason I post it here is because of the CG title that appears at the start - "What Happens when you WERE a wetsuit."

Now I can't get this out of my brain. I mean it's obvious it was meant to be "wear" not "were" and this isn't some post exposing the horrible grammar of the Internet. We are all guilty of our syntax sins.

This is about how the whole context of the video changes with the title. Actually, sliding down a roof slide isn't what happens when you wear a wetsuit. Is it?

Day Trip - Western side of Lake Mead

The temperature has cooled down and my pain has subsided a bit so I decided to take a short road trip along the western side a Lake Mead in Southern Nevada. I packed my new Pentax K-x DSLR and my old Olympus OM-1, grabbed a couple of diet Dr. Peppers and took off.

The first picture I took was from S. Lake Mead road looking north towards Las Vegas. It had just rained so all the smog, dust and grime of Las Vegas had been washed away.

Here are some pictures from the trip.
The first picture are red sandstone formation from The Redstone Dunes

Water and wind erosion play a huge part in sculpting these soft rocks. All kinds of interesting holes, caverns and pillars form from years of erosion

I ended up in Roger's Springs - a natural artesian well. It was fairly interesting, but just as I was about to leave I spotted this momma turtle and a baby turtle. It was amazing how caring and protective the mother was. Did not know those material traits were in turtles.
