Posthuman Blues

It's snowing in Kansas City and I'm planning a jog to the coffeeshop where I can read more of "Frek and the Elixir." In the meantime, here's another travel photo, taken on a hike with Peter and Susan.





The watery pits remind me of the arguable "mud puddle" photographed by one of the Mars Exploration rovers not long ago. And in case you're wondering, I usually don't wear my hat backwards; I made an exception because I was clicking photos and the bill kept getting in the way. No, really.
